acurrie Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 Wondering what the best time is to get out on the water in the morning? Sun comes up at about 5:30ish? Quote
cdock Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 I like to get out early, just after sun rise. But not necessarily for the fishing but for the peace and quiet. Although most fish I catch out on a full day from sunrise to sunset are in the first 3 hours after sun rise and the last 3 hours before sunset. Quote
bigbowtrout Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Just remember they are tight to the banks so use Ninja skills and enjoy Quote
Bull Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 They sure are tight to the banks, everything i caught was within 1-2 feet of the bank except one little guy 10' out. I usually go around 4:30 to 5 am for peace and quite. Finish my coffee and watch the sun rise then try slaying some of those fishes. Quote
SilverDoctor Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 I often find myself on the water before first light. Many times I come off the water when others just arrive. Quote
maxwell Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 yup sunrise sessions are teh bomb! like otehrs said it can be a gerat time too catch fish and the peace and quite cant be beat! Quote
petti Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 i like to fish as early as possible befor 6 for the peace and quiet and so i get some serious fishing in befor the midday heat. Quote
reevesr1 Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Come on, you guys are just putting poor Drew on. Everybody knows that there is no good fishing before 10 am, or after 8 PM. Nor is the fishing good when the water is cloudy, or high, or if it's raining. Clouds aren't very good either. Wind sucks. Cold sucks. Weekdays really suck because fish get confused when no people are around. Fishing less than 30 ft of the bank is an utter waste of time. Take a few months to practice casting really, really far. The best time to practice is anytime between Jun-October. Really, the only time to fish is on the weekends on warm, cloud free days between 10 AM and 8 PM. Fish only mid river runs. Really. I promise. Quote
Gil Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 I'm an early on the water guy. Some people say you when the water is very cold you need to wait until it warms up before the fish are active. In my experience that is BS. If the water's cold you just need to adjust where and how you fish. I fish through the winter and do just fine at first light.... Quote
