which do you prefer?

[coolbreeze]

Fishing early morning or the Evening? If it's quite on the lake, I prefer the evening.

[hip_hop_fisherman]

I seem to have more success in the morning then I do late afternoon/evening.

[Matt Johnson]

I like the evening as well, but getting up early and setting the hook into a few fish isn't all that bad either

Good Fishin,
Matt Johnson

Depends on the lake. There are alot of factors that contribute to success in both scenarios. Personally, I have never had much luck morning fishing. Most success has been toward evening. I've even had good luck at high noon on some lakes. Weird...

[Paul Rohweller]

I'm a morning guy, in the summer I'm generally on the water by 6am, clients by 7am, fish shortly thereafter with any luck, evenings tend to bring out the guys who have been drinking all day..Paul

I like the early morning b/c more people fish late at night than in the early morn.

In the winter I like the dusk bite. In the summer I like both.

Any time you can be out on the lake and not stuck at home is a good time to be fishing if you ask me.

[The Grebe]

Definately afternoon into evening! It is one of my favorite past times and I want to enjoy it. I don't want to get up in the middle of the night, get everything ready and make the drive in the dark, so you can be ready to fish at the bewitching hour.

I want to be rested, take my time getting everything ready, make sure I don't forget, or break anything in a rush to get going.

If a problem occurs in the dark, it is usually amplified over what it would be in the light.

I want to do a little sight seeing on the way up, maybe see a daytime fox, or coyote,
a couple of raptors, enjoy the winter day.

When you get to the lake, you have time to do some recon, do a little hunting on the ice and be settled into your game plan, by the time bite time rolls around.

For me, it is all part of the experience, I believe it takes a little piece of each phase, to make up the whole! For me it is definately evening.

soft water = morning on the dock with flyrod
and the call of the loon.
hard water = late afternoon, drowneding a minnow and a stunning sunset.

[Matt Johnson]

Let me add on to my previous post. During the hard water I like the dusk bite, but during the open water the early morning is great! drowned minnow got me thinking about the sounds and the way the early morning feels when you head down to the dock and head out onto the lake

Good Fishin,

i agree, soft water is a definate morning bite, and alot of the time an evening bite as well, but on the frozen side of things the afternoon and dusk bite seem to be the ticket.

[RogersResort]

Evening, especially after a long day at work, better than sitting home and watching TV anytime…
