Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 13:9 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 Superior

Superior, Wisconsin sits at the gateway to the far western end of Lake Superior, giving anglers a rare mix of big‑water Great Lakes fishing and productive river and harbor action. The St. Louis River estuary, Superior Bay, and the nearshore lake trout and salmon grounds are all within easy striking distance, so tailoring your plan to weather and season is the key to consistent success.

Spring starts early in the St. Louis River and harbor while the main lake is still frigid. As soon as shorelines open, target walleye, northern pike, and panfish in shallow, slowly warming bays and current breaks. Jigs tipped with minnows or plastics, slowly crawled along the bottom, shine in the cold water. For early‑season walleye, focus on river channels, channel edges, and sand flats adjacent to deeper holes; a 1/8–1/4 oz jig and fathead minnow or a slow‑trolled stickbait covers water efficiently. In April and May, steelhead and brown trout gather near river mouths; small spoons, spinners, and spawn bags drifted through current seams are productive from shore or small boats.

As water temperatures rise in late spring and early summer, the action spreads out. In the harbor and estuary, look for smallmouth bass on riprap, pilings, and rocky shorelines. Tube jigs, Ned rigs, and suspending jerkbaits are reliable producers. Weed growth in back bays draws largemouth bass, pike, and panfish; target emergent and submerged vegetation with spinnerbaits, swim jigs, and weedless plastics. Meanwhile, Lake Superior’s nearshore zone comes alive with coho and chinook salmon, lake trout, and brown trout. Most anglers troll spoons and stickbaits behind downriggers, dipsy divers, or lead‑core line, running baits 10–40 feet down over 60–150 feet of water depending on temperature and baitfish location.

By midsummer, Superior’s surface layer warms and many gamefish shift deeper. For big‑water lake trout, use your sonar to locate breaks, reefs, and humps in 100–250 feet of water off the Wisconsin shoreline and out toward the Apostle Islands. Downriggers with spoons, flasher‑fly combos, and dodger‑spin‑n‑glow rigs are standard. In the St. Louis River system, target walleye on mid‑river channel edges, deeper flats, and bridge areas with live‑bait rigs, bottom bouncers and spinners, or trolled crankbaits. On calm days, drifting live bait on slip float setups along deeper breaks can produce mixed bags of walleye, smallmouth, and perch.

Fall brings some of the best multi‑species fishing in the Superior area. Cooling water pushes salmon, trout, and walleye shallower. Troll high‑contrast spoons and crankbaits along shoreline breaks, river mouths, and harbor edges. Casting spoons, in‑line spinners, and swimbaits from piers and breakwalls can connect with browns, coho, and steelhead staging near current. In the estuary, focus on rocky points and shipping channel edges for aggressive smallmouth and walleye feeding up before winter; reaction baits like blade baits and lipless crankbaits work well.

Throughout the season, success around Superior hinges on watching wind and water color. Strong onshore winds quickly dirty up the harbor and river, often improving walleye and pike action but pushing trout and salmon toward cleaner water. Use electronics to track temperature breaks and bait schools, and adjust lure size and color to match prevailing forage—smelt and cisco patterns on the lake, and shiner or perch tones in the river system. With flexible tactics and a willingness to move between the harbor, river, and big lake, anglers can stay on quality fish from ice‑out to freeze‑up.

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.

Tower Bay Slip - 2.29041961655km , Howards Bay - 2.43908659621km , Superior Bay - 3.153395008km , Kimballs Bay - 4.94541481347km , Pokegama Bay - 5.88032664505km , Little Pokegama Bay - 8.0019858071km , Allouez Bay - 8.44034374202km

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 8 main harbours in this area.
