    As already stated, the brighter the day, the tighter to shade the fish will be around midday. That's when dock shooting and under toons "shine".
    Just look for the darkest part of the darkest part!

    The problem I had today on this one lake is that the weeds haven't grown much yet from the bottom and on a bright sunny day not too many places for fish to relate to. Water temperature dropped 3 degrees from yesterday due to a night time low of 34. The spawn is set to begin so I figure the fish are confused as to where they're supposed to be. Only caught a dozen - mostly small sunfish, a nice crappie and 1lb bass. Finally towards afternoon the clouds started coming overhead along with a breeze but by that time I had to leave. I think weed beds make all the difference as well as seasonal changes.

    Slight breeze is always good especially on those bluebird days.

    Just my luck! Promised a friend we'd go today : same as yesterday sunny, calm, no clouds and bright blue sky. Can't tomorrow: cloudy, 10mph wind, warmer and prefrontal. : (

    Just got back and though the weather started out bright, sunny and calm, we still caught 85 fish. Problem was the size which averaged 6-7" for crappie, small size bass and sunfish (except in a different part of the lake). At least we did manage a few 11" crappie and some big sunfish. On cloudy days the size increases on this lake. Of course now at 2pm the clouds are moving in and a breeze is blowing. He had to be off the lake by 1:30.

    They always stop biting 15 minutes before I arrive and always start back 15 minutes after I have the boat loaded. I feel your pain!
