Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 14:30 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.

Full Moon is generally a productive time for fishing - especially night fishing. Bright nights mean that many predators feed more actively during the night. During full moon the gravitational pull is in line with the gravitational pull of the sun, affecting all wildlife and increasing feeding behaviour.
  • Distance to earth:
    404,874 km
    Proximity:
    1.9 %
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 Hereford

Fishing around Hereford, Texas centers on manmade lakes, irrigation reservoirs, and stocked municipal waters scattered across the Panhandle. Most fisheries are relatively shallow, wind-swept, and structure-driven, demanding a mobile approach. Local ponds and nearby reservoirs hold bass, catfish, crappie, sunfish, and seasonally stocked trout, giving shore and small-boat anglers multiple options within a short drive of town.

Seasonal patterns are key in the Hereford area’s wide-open climate. In late winter and early spring, water warms first in protected coves, inflow arms, and rock-lined banks. Largemouth bass and crappie slide shallow here, making slowly worked soft plastics, small jigs, and live minnows especially effective. As the spawn kicks in, focus on gently sloping banks with scattered brush, flooded grass, or riprap. During the hot, windy summer typical of the High Plains, fish push to deeper structure: main-lake points, old creek channels, and submerged roadbeds. Dawn, dusk, and low-light periods often outproduce the mid-day hours.

Fall around Hereford brings cooling nights and increased feeding activity. Bass and white bass chase shad and other baitfish along windblown banks and in the upper third of reservoirs. This is prime time to cover water quickly with crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and swimbaits. Channel catfish stay active well into fall around creek mouths and rocky shorelines where natural food gathers. In winter, fish slide to the deepest sections of the lake with consistent temperatures; vertical presentations with jigs, spoons, and slip-float live bait work when fish are grouped tightly.

Habitat types around Hereford include muddy- to stained-water reservoirs, irrigation ponds edged with cattails and tumbleweeds, and city lakes with riprap, docks, and occasional timber. Wind is a constant factor, stacking warm, oxygenated water and baitfish onto specific shorelines. Productive areas include:

  • Windblown main-lake points with rock or hard bottom for bass and walleye.
  • Brush piles, laydowns, and flooded shrubs for crappie and bluegill.
  • Inflow ditches and culverts where runoff enters after storms for catfish and carp.
  • Steep banks near dam faces that hold wintering bass, catfish, and trout.

Common techniques reflect the region’s conditions. For bass, Texas-rigged plastics, Carolina rigs, and medium-diving crankbaits cover most situations. In the often-windy afternoons, heavier lures and 3/8–1/2 oz jigheads help maintain bottom contact. Catfish specialists favor punch bait, cut shad, or chicken liver on slip-sinker rigs fished near creek channels and ledges. Crappie respond to 1/16–1/8 oz tube jigs and marabou jigs; when the bite is tough, tipping them with a small minnow can make a big difference.

Tactical tips for Hereford fishing start with respecting the wind. Fish the windward side of lakes when safe enough to do so; that’s where bait and active predators concentrate. Use polarized sunglasses to find subtle color changes, flooded weeds, or chunk rock that many anglers overlook. Keep your tackle selection simple but weight options varied to adapt to depth and wind. Finally, move frequently—Panhandle reservoirs fish “spotty,” so covering multiple points, coves, and depth ranges in a day usually outfishes camping on one area.
