Super User FryDog62 Posted January 23, 2019 Super User Posted January 23, 2019 ...Dovetailing off another thread - what time of day did you catch your personal best - or is there a general time frame you tend to catch the bigger ones? Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted January 23, 2019 Super User Posted January 23, 2019 PB Brown bass (7-5) came right before sunrise. PB Green Bass (11-11) came right before sunset. Go figure. A-Jay 1 Quote
Super User geo g Posted January 23, 2019 Super User Posted January 23, 2019 The time was Noon, I saw a bass chasing bait against a limestone wall along an everglades canal. That fish was 11.4 and it was over twenty years ago. I used a weightless zoom fluke thrown into the mix, and the fight was on. It had been a reasonable slow day all morning, with bluebird sky, and no wind. You just never know when it will happen!? 2 Quote
Super User J Francho Posted January 23, 2019 Super User Posted January 23, 2019 Many of my top bass were caught between 10 and 2, including my NY PB 7-2. 1 2 Quote
Dens228 Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 4:00 pm, no clouds or wind, about 80 degrees, in 3 feet of water.......... 8 lbs 3 oz. Quote
Super User MN Fisher Posted January 23, 2019 Super User Posted January 23, 2019 Early evening, around 5:30. Partly cloudy, was along the edge of a weed-bed in 6' of water...it probably darted out from the weeds to grab my lure. 4# 12oz Quote

Super User J Francho Posted January 23, 2019 Super User Posted January 23, 2019 I'm not sure if the mid day concentration is because it's a big bass thing, or if it's just that by then, I have things figured out. 2 Quote
GReb Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 My top 10 were all caught after 2 pm. Apparently I’m a terrible morning fisherman 2 Quote
Super User Catt Posted January 23, 2019 Super User Posted January 23, 2019 February 3rd 2007 right at daylight 12 lb 8 oz on a Rat-L-Trap 2 Quote
Global Moderator TnRiver46 Posted January 23, 2019 Global Moderator Posted January 23, 2019 I wish I could remember!!! Haha. I know I caught an 8 lb bass first thing in the morning once. But I have caught two more the same size and I don't remember a time on either. I caught what is probably my PB smallmouth about 930 am a month ago 1 Quote
BassHawg2293 Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 My 2 best were both 8lbs. One I caught off bed in a pond, in March about 30 minutes before dark. The other I caught about 30 minutes before dark in July off a brush pile on a lake near me. However I catch most of my bigger bass at night time between June and September. I love night fishing, a Texas rigged black worm and ANYONE can catch em at night Quote
Super User FryDog62 Posted January 23, 2019 Author Super User Posted January 23, 2019 These are all interesting responses because I’m typically a very early riser to be on the water before other fisherman. But seems like just as many PB’s have come mid-day or other times. Moral of of the story - I need to fish more Quote
Junger Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 About 4PM on a hot day in June but in a creek mouth in the shade. Quote
BCline Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 One PM during my lunch break with two colleagues right next to me. 7-4 on my profile picture. Quote
Super User Choporoz Posted January 23, 2019 Super User Posted January 23, 2019 Everything over 6 was between 11AM and 4PM....crazy. However, the one that got away was almost 11PM Quote
Super User the reel ess Posted January 23, 2019 Super User Posted January 23, 2019 A little after 8 AM October 19th 2018. I dropped my daughter off at school about 7:45 and headed right over to the spot. Put the kayak in and paddled straight to this spot because I had a good feeling about it. I caught her on the first cast at that spot. Air temp was 38 degrees, but water temp was much higher. It's the fish in my avatar. Quote
CroakHunter Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 7 a.m. My next 5 biggest have been around 11 or noon. Quote
tander Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 PB came a few minutes before noon. I can remember the time because out emergency sirens go off as a test at 12noon every month. Quote
Super User WRB Posted January 23, 2019 Super User Posted January 23, 2019 The 5 giant bass I list were all caught in the AM between sunrise and 9:30 on jigs. Tom 1 Quote

J.Vincent Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 I fished a lot of very skinny water with heavy shallow cover last year and my best we’re caught mid day....but typically and historically this isn’t the case. I usually catch my better fish after 5pm Quote
Super User Mobasser Posted January 23, 2019 Super User Posted January 23, 2019 1:00 in the afternoon 1 Quote
Super User NYWayfarer Posted January 23, 2019 Super User Posted January 23, 2019 PB Smallmouth Bass was caught at 9:40am PB Largemouth was sometime around 11am That's my best guess as it was a long time ago. Quote
