Sun and Moon
The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 10:58 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:
    405,064 km
    Proximity:
    1.5 %
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.

Green and yellow areas indicate the best fishing times (major and minor). Blue areas indicate high and low tides. The center shows the current moon phase which is a New Moon at 1% lumination. According to the Solunar Theory, today is a excellent day for fishing, but you need to cross check this with the current weather forecast for a final decision. Today some bite times coincide with sunrise or sunset. Those will be particularly good times for fishing and are indicated by sun icons. The next best fishing time ( ) starts in -1 hour and -51 minute. The gray time indicator displays the current local time.

For fishing, stronger tides are often favourable as they cause stronger currents and more motion on the sea bed. The above tidal coefficients give us an indication of how strong the tides are compared to their average. A value over 90 indicates very strong tides, known as spring tides. A low value indicates weak tides, known as neap tides. The tidal coefficient can range from 20 to 120 with a mean value of 70. A higher number usually indicates better fishing.

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. The graph below shows you the 3 hourly weather progression over the next 7 days. Scroll the graph left or right to see more.

October Fishing Report

Cooler October temps around Dale City bring steady action on the Occoquan and tidal Potomac. Expect water in the low-to-mid 60s and clearer conditions after a few dry days; stained water follows fall rains. Best bite is often early and late or when a front brings overcast and wind.

Largemouth bass are pushing shallow to mid-depths. Work wind-blown points, laydowns, and creek mouths with spinnerbaits, squarebill crankbaits, and lipless cranks. Slow down with jigs or Texas-rigged plastics on secondary points when the sun is high.

Crappie are stacking on bridge pilings and brush in 8–15 ft. Vertical minnows or small tube jigs do well; watch electronics for suspended schools and match depth precisely. Bluegill remain active along docks with small worms or micro-jigs.

Tidal edges and creek backwaters can produce snakehead on swim jigs and paddletails during the warmest part of the day. Deeper channel bends hold channel/blue catfish; use cut bait on fish-finders near current seams.

Top tip: Track the tide on the tidal Potomac—fish the moving water. Hit ambush spots (points, drains, grass edges) on the first push of incoming or the start of the outgoing for the most consistent bites.

Best Fishing Spots in the greater Dale City area

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 7 beaches and bays in this area.

Camp One Dam - 6.65923332942km , Camp Four Dam - 6.83506926862km , Occoquan Bay - 7.63819072027km , Belmont Bay - 8.91675289463km , Carters Day Camp Pond Dam - 9.65428423514km , Camp Three Dam - 10.14094467306km , Camp Five Dam - 11.1643278241km

Harbours and Marinas can often times be productive fishing spots for land based fishing as their sheltered environment attracts a wide variety of bait fish. Similar to river mouths, harbour entrances are also great places to fish as lots of fish will move in and out with the rising and falling tides. There are 3 main harbours in this area.

Lake Ridge Golf Park and Marina - 5.75323256719km, Hampton's Landing Marina - 6.06938223379km, Airport Creek - 6.69891833361km
