Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 13:10 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 Cleburne

Lake Pat Cleburne is the primary fishing hub for Cleburne, Texas, backed up by the Nolan River and smaller nearby ponds for anglers seeking variety. The reservoir’s mix of shallow coves, rocky banks, bridge pilings, submerged timber and mid‑lake humps creates classic North Texas structure that holds fish all year. Bank access is good around Cleburne City Park and public boat ramps, while kayakers and boaters can reach less‑pressured corners and offshore features.

Seasonal patterns revolve around water temperature. In late winter and early spring, bass, crappie and catfish push into the north‑end shallows, creeks and protected pockets where the water warms first. Work jerkbaits, lipless crankbaits and shaky heads for pre‑spawn largemouth, and target riprap and bridge pilings for staging white and black crappie with small jigs or minnows. Hybrid striped bass and white bass often roam windblown points and shallow flats, especially during spring shad spawns; chrome spoons and small swimbaits excel here.

Once summer heat arrives, fish slide to deeper structure. Focus on main‑lake points, channel swings, submerged roadbeds and humps off the dam. For largemouth bass, deep diving crankbaits, Texas‑rigged worms, Carolina‑rigged creature baits and drop shots worked along ledges and brush piles are consistent producers. Hybrid stripers and white bass school over open water; use sonar to find bait clouds, then vertically jig slabs or cast soft plastics through surface busts at first and last light.

Fall ushers in some of the most consistent action on Lake Pat Cleburne. Cooling temperatures push shad shallow again, concentrating bass and schooling hybrids around windblown banks, coves and secondary points. Cover water quickly with squarebill crankbaits, spinnerbaits and topwaters. Catfish feed heavily along channel edges and flats; target them with cut shad or punch bait on slip rigs, especially during breezy, overcast days.

Winter patterns favor slower presentations and deeper water. Largemouth bass stack on steep banks and vertical structure near the dam and river channel; slowly drag jigs, football heads and finesse plastics. Crappie hold tight to brush piles, marina pilings and deep timber—vertically present small jigs or live minnows just above the school. Hybrid stripers may group up near the river channel and dam face; jigging spoons worked right on bottom can be deadly in clear, cold conditions.

Habitat and tactical tips include key areas like rocky riprap near the dam for bass and crappie, shallow coves with brush for spawning fish, and mid‑lake structure for summer and winter schools. Early and late in the day, target shade lines from docks and overhanging trees with weightless soft plastics and wacky‑rigged worms. On windy days, embrace the chop—windblown points and shorelines concentrate shad and trigger aggressive feeding, especially for hybrid striped bass and white bass. Light spinning gear with 6–10 lb fluorocarbon is ideal for crappie and panfish, while medium to medium‑heavy casting setups with 12–17 lb line cover most bass and catfish tactics on Cleburne’s home waters.

Beaches and Bays are ideal places for land-based fishing. If the beach is shallow and the water is clear then twilight times are usually the best times, especially when they coincide with a major or minor fishing time. Often the points on either side of a beach are the best spots. Or if the beach is large then look for irregularities in the breaking waves, indicating sandbanks and holes. We found 1 beaches and bays in this area.
