Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 14:42 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.

New Moon is generally a very productive time for fishing. Dark nights mean that many predators feed more actively during daylight hours. The combined gravity of sun and moon during New Moon days has a stronger effect on all water bodies, leads to increased food availabilty and hence better fishing.
  • Distance to earth:
    363,765 km
    Proximity:
    98.4 %
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.

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 Bartlesville

Fishing in Bartlesville, Oklahoma revolves around the Caney River corridor and nearby lakes and ponds that give anglers a mix of river, reservoir, and small‑water opportunities. The Caney River, smaller impoundments around town, and short drives to larger lakes put largemouth bass, catfish, crappie, and panfish well within reach for bank anglers and boaters alike.

Seasonal patterns are predictable around Bartlesville. In late winter and early spring, rising water and warming temperatures push crappie and bass shallow into coves, creek arms, and riprap along the Caney and local lakes. Crappie stack on brush and laydowns; a small tube jig or 1/16–1/8 oz marabou jig suspended under a fixed or slip float is hard to beat. Bass respond to slowly worked suspending jerkbaits and lipless crankbaits yo‑yoed across flats. By late spring, post‑spawn bass slide to points and first drop‑offs, while channel catfish feed aggressively on cut shad or prepared baits in current seams and along channel ledges.

Summer fishing centers on low‑light windows. At dawn and dusk, target weed edges, riprap, and shaded banks for bass with buzzbaits, walking topwaters, and weightless soft plastics. Midday, shift to deeper structure: offshore brush, bridge pilings, and river bends where blue catfish and drum hold tight to the bottom. Night fishing can be excellent in the heat; glow bobbers with punch bait for channel cats or slow‑rolled spinnerbaits for bass around lighted docks and ramps are consistent producers. In fall, baitfish push shallow again and white bass, black bass, and hybrids chase them on wind‑blown points; match the hatch with small shad‑profile crankbaits and 2–3 inch swimbaits. Winter success comes by fishing slow and deep with vertical presentations: jigging spoons, blade baits, and live minnows for crappie and bass on channel edges and deeper holes in the Caney.

Key habitat types around Bartlesville include river holes and bends on the Caney, rocky shoreline, riprap near bridges, submerged brush, and man‑made structure in city lakes. Catfish concentrate below riffles and at the head and tailouts of deeper pools; use heavier sinkers to hold baits tight to current breaks. Crappie and sunfish gravitate to shoreline brush, docks, and any wood in 6–15 feet of water; a vertical approach with small jigs or minnows produces when they’re buried in cover.

Effective techniques are straightforward but reward precision. For bank anglers, long casts along current seams and parallel to the bank cover more productive water than casting straight out. Use slip floats to precisely suspend baits just above brush or rocky bottom without constant snagging. In clearer water, downsize line to 6–8 lb fluorocarbon for crappie and finesse bass tactics like wacky‑rigged worms and ned rigs. In stained or high water, step up to 12–17 lb mono or fluoro, and rely on loud, vibration‑heavy baits such as squarebills and spinnerbaits so fish can find your offering.

Small boats and kayaks shine on the Caney and city lakes, letting you reach mid‑river holes and offshore structure that bank anglers miss. Use your electronics or a simple marker buoy to stay on subtle drops and brush piles. Always note where you get bit—depth, cover type, and current speed—and duplicate that combination on similar spots nearby. The fisheries around Bartlesville reward anglers who adapt to seasonal movements, pay attention to water conditions, and fish methodically through the best structure each day.
