Best time to fish

Post by TroutTracker »

Ok, the weather is changing....the days area bit cooler, no more humidity in the air, the nights are considerably cooler and getting longer.

The water temps have dropped; fall is in the air.

I've always been an early morning guy. The air is fresh, the wind is (usually) calm, and my anticipation is at it's greatest.

I like the morning because there is less boat traffic. Calm and quiet. But the tide and the wind can be a factor...

Early a.m. is my preffered time, just before sunrise.

Over 'dere, it's about time of day and tides. In the winter, find yourself a cut on an outgoing tide at dusk :wink: 8) .

If I can't go for at least 4 hours then it aint worth the time to me. When i'm healthy i'll go every day after 3pm as that's when I get off work. Regardless of tide.

I prefer early in the a.m., that way I can fish for a few hours and still have most of the day to other things with my family.

I plan the timing of my trips completely around the tides.

I prefer to be on the water early then wake em' up just before the sun comes up. Can't figure why I rarely catch anything at that time!
