Fishing Overview for Port Washington Harbor

A short run north of Milwaukee, Port Washington Harbor is renowned for consistent trolling and casting for Chinook, coho, steelhead, brown trout, and lake trout. Spring coho inside the harbor give way to summer offshore bites, while fall kings push close for pier and wall anglers. Many Milwaukee-area anglers trailer or charter here when conditions or bait concentrate fish, then return south toward Milwaukee Harbor as patterns shift. Nearest Hub: Marinette

Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 12:13 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. The graph below shows you the 3 hourly weather progression over the next 7 days. Scroll the graph left or right to see more.

Interactive Fishing Map for the greater Washington Harbor 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 10 beaches and bays in this area.

Gislason Beach - 7.66770444903km , Pedersens Bay - 8.05862793638km , Wisconsin Bay - 13.83247695071km , South West Bay - 14.55319437983km , Garret Bay - 16.49548571329km , Europe Bay - 17.57454213495km , Newport Bay - 19.48362444386km , Ellison Bay - 20.86977760467km , Rowley Bay - 22.29006246655km , Sister Bay - 28.42401025508km

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 2 main harbours in this area.
