Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 12:20 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.

Fishing Overview Morristown

The Morristown, New York area sits on a prime section of the St. Lawrence River, where deep main-channel shipping lanes, rocky shoals, and vegetated bays combine to create exceptional multi-species fishing. Clear water, steady current, and abundant forage mean smallmouth bass, walleye, pike, muskie, and panfish all grow big and fight hard here. Anglers can fish effectively from shore, docks, or boats, with productive water never far from town.

Seasonal patterns drive success. In early spring, as soon as ice is gone and water temperatures creep toward the 40s and low 50s, pike and walleye slide shallow. Focus on dark-bottom bays, flooded shoreline grass, and slow-tapering points near Morristown where they warm first. Jig-and-minnow combinations, slow-rolled swimbaits, and suspending jerkbaits draw strikes when water is still cold. Smallmouth bass stage on rocky breaks just off spawning flats; dragging tubes or hair jigs along 10–20 feet of water is highly effective.

By late spring and early summer, much of the action centers on emerging weeds and rocky shoals. Smallmouth bass fan out over boulder-strewn points, island complexes, and reef tops; dropshot rigs with finesse plastics, Ned rigs, and 3–4 inch swimbaits excel in the St. Lawrence’s clear water. Largemouth bass hold tighter to thick cabbage beds, docks, and backwaters off the main flow—Texas-rigged plastics, jigs, and frogs shine here. Panfish like perch, crappie, and bluegill gather around weeds, marina edges, and small inlets, easily targeted with small jigs tipped with soft plastics or worms.

Summer brings steady current and heavy boat traffic in the main channel, so adjust by fishing mornings, evenings, and current breaks. Walleye relate to mid-depth breaks and the edges of shipping lanes; vertical jigging with heavy jigs, bottom-bouncing worm harnesses, or trolling crankbaits along contour lines will put fish in the net. Freshwater drum, catfish, and carp prowl deeper flats—simple bottom rigs with cut bait, crawlers, or corn catch plenty. For muskellunge and big pike, target deep weed edges, rocky points that intersect current, and the downstream side of islands, throwing large jerkbaits, bucktails, and big rubber swimbaits.

As fall cools the river, baitfish compress onto steep breaks and deeper holes, concentrating predators. This is prime time for trophy smallmouth and walleye around Morristown. Work blade baits, heavy tubes, and compact crankbaits along 20–40-foot transitions, paying special attention to areas where rock meets sand or mud. Muskie hunters troll big plugs along the edge of the channel and over prominent shoals, covering water methodically. Pike and bass use remaining green weeds adjacent to deep water—lipless crankbaits and spinnerbaits are ideal search tools.

Tactically, clear water and current define how you fish. Downsized fluorocarbon leaders, natural colors, and long casts are key for pressured smallmouth and walleye. Use your electronics to locate bait and structure, then position the boat so your presentations move naturally with the flow. From shore in Morristown, concentrate on piers, public access points, and any place with broken rock or current seams. Whether you’re finesse fishing for bass or heaving big plugs for muskie, understanding seasonal movement and reading current make Morristown’s St. Lawrence River shoreline one of the most rewarding fisheries in the region.
