Sun and Moon

The sun will be at it's highest point at 12:16 pm. Today we have 10:16 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.

Nautical Twilight begins:

06:07 am

Sunrise:

07:08 am
Sunset:

05:24 pm

Nautical Twilight ends:

06:24 pm
Moonrise:

Visibility:

24%
Waxing Crescent

Next Full Moon in 8 days on 15th November

Distance to earth:

383,601 km

Proximity:

51.9 %

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.

The Solunarclock displays the best fishing times on a 24 hour clock. Green areas represent major bite times, yellow minor bite times, the center displays the moon phase and illumination (24%).

Best fishing times:

major Time:

03:18 am - 05:18 am
minor Time:

11:14 am - 01:14 pm
major Time:

03:40 pm - 05:40 pm

All times are displayed in the America/New_York timezone and are automatically adjusted to daylight savings. The current timezone offset is -5 hours. Green and yellow areas indicate the best fishing times (major and minor). The center shows the current moon phase which is a Waxing Crescent at 24% lumination. According to the Solunar Theory, today is a good 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 36 minutes. The gray time indicator displays the current local time.

Wind Speed and Direction

Wind Direction:

Wind Speed:

Wind Direction and Speed are one of the most important aspects for choosing a fishing spot. An offshore wind can help land-based anglers with longer casting distances, while an onshore wind will make kayak fishing safer. Often fish will also move to certain feeding areas depending on the wind direction. Check out the long term wind forecast at the charts below.

Fishing Barometer

Atmospheric Pressure:

Change since midnight:

Trend for next 6 hours:

Atmospheric or Barometric Pressure affects fish activity. The best fishing can be had on a rising barometer and also the time just before it is falling. A steady barometer in the higher ranges can also mean good fishing. A falling or low barometer reading without much change is usually not a very good time for fishing.

UV Effect on Fishing

UV Index:

As a rule of thumb, the higher the UV index, the deeper fish will move. Shallow water fishing is best done at times with a low UV index. When the UV is high, stick to early mornings, late evenings and shaded areas. The effect is less noticable in deeper water, but often a higher UV index can produce good results in the deep.

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.

Welcome to Fishingreminder!

Welcome To Fishingreminder - Your Ultimate Fishing Almanac

The aim of this website is to provide vital fishing information for planning successful fishing trips. We want to give you the best fishing almanac the internet has to offer.

Fishing is a great hobby and in order to catch fish consistently we need to consider a wide range of parameters. We need to familiarize ourselves with the habitat of the target species, look for good fishing spots, decide which tackle to use, check weather, wind and tides and make an educated guess about the best time to go fishing on a given day.

Fishingreminder is here to help you decide when to go fishing. Fish have feeding times just like us, we call them bite times. But their feeding times follow a natural rhythm of sun and moon. Because sun and moon will change during the years, months and days the bite times for each day will vary.

For that reason a specific theory was developed to describe and predict bite times. It's called the Solunar Theory. Fishingreminder uses this theory to calculate a fishing calendar based on sun and moon movements, tides and weather. We have even included knowledge from the ancient Maori fishing calendar in our calculations.

According to the Solunar Theory all wildlife and not only fish follow a similar feeding rhythm. Fishingreminder can therefore also be used for hunting and bird watching to find times of increased feeding activity.

Sometimes we are very busy with work and other commitments and don’t have time or forget to check for good fishing days regularly. Only to realize a week or so after new moon that we have just missed what could have been an epic fishing session.

That’s why Fishingreminder will scan the best fishing times for your location daily and remind you per email when you should go out fishing. Cause we know that nothing is more frustrating then to miss a great fishing opportunity.

On the site you will find Major and Minor Fishing Times, Sun and Moon information, Tide information if available and Weather info’s.

There is also a Forum, which you can use to ask people for advice or help others with your knowledge. In the Photo Section you can share your photos and show us what you caught and comment on photos. We also have an Article section and try to upload interesting articles and links to help you become an even more successful fisherman.

So have fun, explore the site and share your thoughts and catches with us.

All the best and good luck to everyone!

Hi all, new here and thanks for the info. I’m based in Jersey CI and would love a little more info on CI fishing times and how the Major Time (Green) is always at Low Tide, locals speak to going -1 hr +1 hr at high tide here. FYI Jersey had a tide range between ~12m and ~1m which means quite a long dangerous walk out :)

Hi Mark, I suggest that you add a dislike thumb to photos. Just saw a Charlie Phifer photo with a Trump flag in the background. He's looking like he's ready to draw a gun. He doesn't look friendly, does he?

4 months ago by Mark Totzke

Thanks for the suggestion. I think the flag might have been there just by coincidence and not intentional. Charlie has contributed many photos over the years. But you're right, having it in the background is not appropriate for a neutral fishing site. Perhaps a report photo instead of thumbs down would be a good option.

Not related to any flags or political jargon, I just wanted to comment on the accuracy of fishingreminder forecast. The last two times I went out walleye fishing the forecast was a two star rating both days. Both days were decent, fish weren’t jumping into the boat but I managed my limit both days. As for “major and minor” time slots, I found that the 11:00am - 1:00pm major window could have been extended to approximately 2:00 pm. Must say I’m enjoying the sight. Good fishing to you all out there!!!!

By the way, my location is in the Vermilion Bay Area, NW Ontario, Canada. The true “Land of Lakes!” That’s not a spite towards our wonderful friends in Minnesota!!

Hey Mark Just wanted to let you know that I'm really enjoying your recent YouTube videos and especially appreciate seeing not just edited highlights of all the fish you catch, but also when things don't quite go to plan. (That's what really happens when you go fishing, right?!) And I don't think you babble on too much (ie: your YT comment in the South Island Winter Fishing clip), it's actually interesting to get your insights into where you are, how you plan to approach the fishing, how cold it is and even why anyone would leave their boots and sandals behind. I probably wont ever get to fish in NZ, so your videos are the next best thing. Oh and I so wanted your **improved** fish finder (with external battery) to work, but it was great that you showed us when it didn't. (I'm hoping to see it successfully re-appear in a future vid.) Anyway, Fishing Reminder remains my Go To fishing forecast app, and I'm looking forward to that new version with the super Settings that you previewed a while back..... ;o)

4 months ago by Mark Totzke

Thanks James, great encouraging feedback - thanks so much for that. I just got back to working on the new feature on FR. I got a bit side tracked for a while but still on it :)

4 months ago by Mark Totzke

And believe it or not as soon as I got home the fish finder worked again. Not sure why it wouldn't work on the boat that day. I think the connector I used is a bit loose and low quality. I'm getting a better connector and next time it should do the job just right, fingers crossed :)

4 months ago by Tina Daniels

I really disagree with fishing forecasts here. On poor days, I’ve caught more fish than I could handle. Best days, not a bite. Other websites also contradict your forecasts. 😏

4 months ago by Mark Totzke

There is the misconception that the best fishing times are something that is set in stone. Yet the bite time predictions work on the assumption that all other conditions are ideal. Everything needs to be checked an put in perspective. If the weather conditions are bad for fishing on a good day and great on a poor day the fishing will be better on the poor day. If the major bite time is near sunrise or sunset it will probably be better than in the middle of a hot sunny day. Bite times and day ratings are an additional tool in the fishing forecast not a non plus ultra rule. As to any discrepancy with other websites. We do use additional information to predict the best days so there could be a slight difference but it will not be a contradiction because generally the best days (under ideal conditions) are around new moon and full moon and that will be across the board. We are confident in our predictions as we get frequently great feedback from fishos around the world. But there is always room for improvement. In our next version we are trying to combine the weather and fishing times into one prediction system rather than having to check them separately.

4 months ago by JamesThree

Hehe! I wish there was a magic tool that could perfectly predict where and when to fish. I'm going fishing regardless, and use Fishing Reminder to help plan my timing; more often than not, it does help:- THANKS MARK! (That said, I have to confess that I LOVE proving the prediction wrong and having some success on a one star day!) ;op

No idea why the Major Fishing times in my location are always low tide.

3 months ago by Mark Totzke

The tide and fishing times are closely related because of the moon. When you have major times around low tide at your location then the minor times will be around high tide. If your location is only accessible or fishable during high tide then the minor times are your best bet at this particular spot.
