Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 15:36 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 Red Wing

Red Wing sits on one of the Midwest’s most productive stretches of the Mississippi River, with Pool 4 and the upper end of Lake Pepin providing a rare combination of year‑round current, deep wintering holes, and expansive flats. The warmwater discharge from the Red Wing dam keeps sections of the river open even in mid‑winter, drawing in walleye and sauger and making this one of the first places in the region to turn on each season.

From late winter into early spring, focus on the main river channel edges and current breaks just below the dam. Walleye and sauger stack up in 15–30 feet where the main flow buffers against inside bends, wing dams, and subtle sand drops. Vertical jigging with 1/4–5/8 oz jigs tipped with plastics or minnows is the staple; use just enough weight to maintain bottom contact while slipping downstream at a controlled pace. Short hops and pauses an inch or two off bottom trigger more fish than aggressive lifts in the cold current.

As water warms through April and May, fish slide shallower toward gravel and sand for spawning. Target riprap shorelines, flooded timber, and secondary current seams. A three‑way rig with a floater and live bait, or a simple river rig with a sliding sinker, is deadly when slowly back‑trolled upstream along contour edges. Sauger tend to hold a bit deeper on the breaks, while larger walleye often push onto adjacent flats, especially in low‑light windows.

Summer on Pool 4 and Lake Pepin is about spreading out and covering water. Wing dams become prime structure for walleye, smallmouth bass, and white bass. Run and gun, hitting the upstream faces first with crankbaits or heavy jigs. If fish are inactive, reposition to the slack water on the downstream side and drag a live‑bait rig or plastic slowly across the crown. On Lake Pepin’s basin, long‑lining crankbaits over 12–20 feet or pulling spinner rigs on bottom bouncers is a consistent way to contact roaming schools.

Backwaters and side channels around Red Wing shine through summer and early fall for largemouth bass, panfish, and pike. Look for clean, firm-bottom cuts with a blend of current and vegetation. Swim jigs, Texas‑rigged plastics, and topwaters produce largemouth, while slip‑floats with small jigs or live bait catch bluegill and crappie. Channel catfish and flatheads relate to deeper holes, rock piles, and cut banks; anchor just above the structure and present cut bait or live bait so it rides naturally into the holding area.

Fall brings a second peak on this stretch. Cooling water pushes baitfish onto wind‑blown shorelines and main‑lake points on Lake Pepin and back toward the river channel. Cast jig‑and‑plastic combinations or medium‑diving crankbaits along breaks that drop from 8–14 feet. As temperatures drop further, slide back upriver and return to vertical presentations in traditional wintering areas. Throughout the year, success around Red Wing hinges on reading current seams, staying mobile, and matching your presentation to the river’s changing flows.

Interactive Fishing Map for the greater Red Wing 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 4 beaches and bays in this area.
