Favorite Time of Day: Morning or Afternoon
I wonder if it's my style of fishing that drives my success in the last hour before sunset. I tend to fish bait (a mix of live and dead shrimp, crab, minnows, croaker, mullet, pogies) more than lures and encourage my kids to work a live shrimp under a bobber or popping cork while having a second bait on the bottom. I also tend to view the last hour as "prime time" so I like to try 3-6 spots throughout the afternoon to and return to the most promising location for prime time. Perhaps I can better read where the bait is moving and where the fish are laying in wait on a falling tide than I can read those details in the morning when the tide is rising. Does the expectation of mediocre mornings and sunsets of fishing fire become a self-fulfilling prophecy or can I learn to do a better job in the mornings? So what is your view? Have you experienced most success in the morning, midday, or afternoons? |

I love to watch a sunrise in the morning don't get me wrong, but imo i have had better success late in the afternoon.

I wouldn't say one is better than the other, but I would say I catch more fish on a falling tide..

Maybe it just the over excitement in the mornings? Gets you fired up and expecting more, and maybe making bad decisions on where the fish are going to be. Then as you hang out on the water and figure out what the fish are doing, you make a better decision in the afternoon and get on the fish?
Long back as I can remember, only maybe one or two days were best in the morning, every other day has been trumped by the afternoon bite. Both Fresh and Saltwater. |

The only thing I don't like about afternoon trips is the clean up that night or next morning. During the dog days of summer I find the bass fishing to be better in the am. Other than that I don't notice a difference.
