Time of Day

[ausable riverboat]

Have heard that you should fish on the full moon. Have no idea why. Also does it make a difference if you start at 5 in the morning , noon or 5 at night. What is the best time of day to fish? I know whenever you can is a good time.What time do you guys fish?

I verry seldome get on the water before 9am. and usually leave the water before 4 in the pm. catch lots of crappie here in missouri. some like to go early, I dont, and I dont seem to have much trouble getting fish. m2cw

Middle of the day on a full moon seems to be best for me. I went this past Thursday, 12 PM till 6:30 PM, done real GOOD!

Right place right time i think. Been last two days and different times and not too many fish. Maybe my fishing tactics:D

I just love watching everything come alive early mornings. It's worth getting up at 5 AM for me. And I do better early mornings anyway.

Check the solunar tables!

I dont know what time is the best, but I can tell you fishing at night with a floating light is a big disappointment during a full moon

I have caught crappie while nightstalking on a full moon but it takes a long time to pull in the bait fish. I have not fished a full moon night in two years, we fish the day that week.

I read somewhere that if the sky is clear on the full moon fish feed at night.

I, like beagle man, fish from 9 am to about 4 pm. I like to let the first flight of fishermen come off of the lake, and then there is room, at the dock parking lot for me. EB
