Fishing Overview for Monongahela River

Flowing through the South Side and Hazelwood, the Mon’s industrial banks and barge channels hold smallmouth bass, hybrid striped bass, walleye, sauger, and catfish. Spring and late fall are productive near lock walls and tributary mouths, summer mornings favor crankbaits for smallmouth along riprap, and evening cut bait produces cats; bank access is common at riverfront parks with ample room for boaters to work ledges and eddies.

Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 13:37 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.

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.
