Fishing 7/5 - Early morning or late afternoon?

Post by PerryFisherMan »

I'm going fishing tomorrow, but not sure when. The morning will be cooler, and I think the fish would be more willing to bite then, but I'd only be able to fish the outgoing tide. If I wait until the afternoon, I can fish both tides, and my hope would be the fish would bite before sundown. Any wisdom out there on this?

i generally prefer to fish the incoming tide - tomorrow's low tide is at noon and high tide at 6. Having said that, the best time to fish, in my opinion, is whenever you can. If I were you, I would try to get out before dawn to capitalze on the early morning bite and the first half of the outgoing should be fairly decent as well. You could catch your limit, have the fish and boat cleand and be back at home before the afternoon thunderboomer rools in.
