Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 13:53 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.

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.

Fishing Overview Mount Vernon

Mount Vernon fishing is built around the Skagit River and its network of sloughs, plus quick access to Skagit Bay and the San Juan gateway. Seasonal timing matters more than anything here. Late winter into early spring, anglers focus on steelhead and resident trout in the main Skagit and tributaries. Look for softer seams below riffles, inside bends, and behind mid‑river boulders where fish conserve energy. Drift presentations with jigs, beads, or bait under a float are especially effective in the slightly colored flows common this time of year.

Spring also wakes up the warmwater bite in local ponds and small lakes scattered through the valley. As water temps push into the 50s, largemouth bass slide shallow to stage on secondary points, reed edges, and submerged wood. Work slow‑moving soft plastics, weightless stickbaits, or small jigs around visible cover. Panfish like bluegill, pumpkinseed, and crappie stack in the same protected coves, and tiny jigs or pieces of worm under a float will quickly locate schools.

Summer on the Skagit brings a mix of trout, sea‑run cutthroat, and in-season salmon runs. Early and late in the day, cast small spinners, spoons, or streamer flies across current seams and swing them through traveling lanes. Focus on deeper slots, the heads and tails of islands, and shade lines along the bank. As flows drop and clear, scale down to lighter leaders and smaller, natural‑colored presentations. Up in the foothill lakes, rainbow and cutthroat trout feed higher in the water column; trolling small spoons or wedding‑ring style spinners behind a dodger is a consistent tactic.

Mount Vernon’s location near Skagit Bay also opens strong saltwater options. In summer, salmon and bottomfish are within reach of small boats and kayaks on good weather windows. Work tidal rip lines, points, and contour breaks where bait stacks up. Trolling bait or hoochies behind flashers is the standard approach for salmon; for lingcod and rockfish, drop jigs and soft plastics tight to rocky structure and sharp drop‑offs. Along shorelines and public beaches, surfperch, flounder, and smaller bottomfish can be caught casting small metal spoons, sandworm‑style plastics, or baited rigs into troughs and current edges.

Fall is prime time on the Skagit system. Coho and, in odd years, pink salmon move into the river in big numbers. Coho respond well to twitching jigs in slow side channels and back eddies; pinks favor smaller spoons and jigs worked with a steady retrieve through travel lanes. Watch for traveling fish rolling on the surface and position just above them. This is also a great window for fat sea‑run cutthroat keying on salmon eggs and fry; small minnow‑imitating plugs or streamers in the soft edges below spawning areas are reliable producers.

Throughout the year, rotating between the Skagit mainstem, its backwaters, nearby lakes, and the salt gives Mount Vernon anglers nearly continuous opportunity. Pay attention to river levels, tides, and water clarity, and match your tactics—trolling, drifting, casting, or jigging—to the specific habitat you’re fishing, and you can stay on fish in every season.
