Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 12:32 hours of daylight. For shallow water fishing the twilight periods are often the most productive fishing times, especially on days when a major or minor time will coincide with twilight. In low light conditions predators have better cover for their ambush and often hunt in shallow water.

We can compare the current moon distance to it's minimum and maximum distance from earth and express that as proximity. A high proximity means the moon is closer to earth. At 50% it would be at it's mean distance. A high proximity causes big tides, currents and has a direct effect on increased bite times. A proximity greater than 90% indicates a super moon.

For fishing, stronger tides are often favourable as they cause stronger currents and more motion on the sea bed. The above tidal coefficients give us an indication of how strong the tides are compared to their average. A value over 90 indicates very strong tides, known as spring tides. A low value indicates weak tides, known as neap tides. The tidal coefficient can range from 20 to 120 with a mean value of 70. A higher number usually indicates better fishing.

7 Day Fishing Weather

The weather plays an important role in fishing. Wind strenght and direction often determine where you can fish and where fish might be holding. Although high pressure is usually good for fishing, steep pressure changes often trigger feeding frenzies and are great times for fishing. Of course temperature has also a strong effect on fishing and comfort on the water. So make sure to cross check the weather forecast with the solunar fishing times to determine the best times to go fishing.

Fishing Overview Troy

Fishing in Troy, NY revolves around the upper tidal Hudson River and a network of nearby lakes and ponds. This stretch of river mixes freshwater species with coastal migrants, creating an unusually diverse fishery. The city’s waterfront, boat launches, and accessible parks make Troy a convenient hub for anglers targeting everything from trophy striped bass to panfish for the kids.

Seasonal patterns drive much of the action. In early spring, as ice leaves nearby ponds and the Hudson warms into the 40s and low 50s, walleye, northern pike, and pre-spawn smallmouth bass begin to feed along channel edges and rocky banks. April into May is prime time for the famous Hudson River striped bass run around Troy, with big migratory stripers moving upriver to spawn; focus on deeper channels, current breaks, and the heads and tails of bends. By late spring and early summer, largemouth and smallmouth bass spread into marinas, backwater coves, and riprap shorelines, while panfish like bluegill, pumpkinseed, and crappie stack up in shallow, warmer pockets.

Summer fishing around Troy means early and late in the day are most productive, especially on bright, hot afternoons. Smallmouth bass relate to current seams, rocky points, and bridge pilings in the main Hudson, while largemouth favor weedlines, docks, and slower backwaters in nearby lakes and off-channel areas. Nighttime is excellent for channel catfish and bullhead; they prowl soft-bottom flats, eddies, and the downstream sides of structure. Carp and drum are reliable daytime targets through the warm months on soft-bottom stretches and flats near marinas and creek mouths.

As fall sets in and water temperatures drop, smallmouth bass and walleye push onto mid-depth rock and sharp breaks along the river channel. Spinnerbaits, lipless cranks, and jigs fished along riprap walls and around bridge foundations can be deadly. Panfish school tighter over remaining green weeds and deeper holes in local ponds, making them easier to find with small jigs or live bait. Late fall often brings some of the heaviest fish of the year as species feed up before winter.

Key habitats in the Troy area include:

  • Deep Hudson River channels, ledges, and outside bends for striped bass, walleye, and catfish.
  • Rocky banks, bridge pilings, and riprap for smallmouth bass and perch.
  • Backwater coves, marinas, and adjacent ponds for largemouth bass, pickerel, and panfish.
  • Soft-bottom flats near creek mouths and slower current for carp, bullhead, and channel catfish.

Techniques and tactical tips are highly current-dependent on the Hudson around Troy. For stripers, work live bait, soft plastics on jig heads, or medium diving crankbaits along current breaks, positioning your boat or your casts so lures sweep naturally with the flow. For smallmouth, downsize to 3–4 inch tubes, grubs, or ned-style baits and hop them over rocks; bites are often subtle in cooler water. Where you find weed growth in local lakes, pitch Texas-rigged plastics or weedless jigs along the edges for largemouth, and run topwater lures at dawn and dusk in summer.

For shore anglers, focus on accessible piers, parks, and riprapped banks; a simple slip-float rig or bottom rig with worms or cut bait will catch catfish, perch, and panfish almost year-round. When targeting multiple species, bring a light or medium spinning outfit for finesse presentations and a heavier rod for stripers, pike, and big cats. Pay close attention to water temperature and river level; small shifts in either often trigger feeding flurries, making Troy’s waters especially productive when conditions line up.
