That Darkness Thing

[LrgmouthShad]

Hey do y’all know that thing in the fall and winter where it gets dark by 5:30 PM? I don’t like that thing 

[MN Fisher]

I'd feel lucky if it didn't get dark till 5:30 - today our Civil Twilight ends at 5:19...by mid December it'll be around 5:05.

Eastern time zone for the win 

 

I would say you could catch fish after dark but I sure can’t…… so…… dec 21 is your best friend

The first week usually two my sleeping pattern is so messed up. I can’t stand it.

I dunno what you did when we parted ways that night, but I went home to another whooping for staying out so late. lol

I like to fish in the morning on account of daylight savings time and usually if you can get a bite this time of year early in the day, it's gonna be a good one.  I'd rather adjust my sleep schedule and enjoy 'darkness turning to light' every day until days start getting longer again in a couple months.

One thing i disliked about living in the philippines was that every day 365 days a year it was dark out at 6pm.

So are the Philippines on always on standard time and on the eastern edge of their time zone?

I very much prefer the dark. I'm always amazed at the number of boats that wait until the sun starts rising before they launch or head out well before dark. Must be a fear thing as they'll just hangout and wait. The Sun rise and Sun set is so much better observed from the boat versus the parking lot. 

A truly great bass fisherman will adapt to the conditions. 😆

@GreenPig it's a mood thing for me. My energy is high when the sun is up and lower at night. When there's more darkness during the day, I want to relax more often. Unfortunately this season can trend busier.

I lived there for 10 years, all i can tell you is that its dark and everyone lives on philippine time which you have to have lived there to understand what philippine time really is, it screws your brains time process up bad, right Navy Toad?

Everyday is groundhog day no matter the time of year. Get up, go to work, come home, rinse and repeat. Doesn't matter if its light or dark outside. 

[Darth-Baiter]

i'm good with all of it.  i like sleeping in to catch the morning bite.  

 

i go to sleep early anyways, so it feels better to me.  i used to lay down in bad in full daylight like a weirdo.  now it's all good.

I was thinking about how some of your threads make it to the dark side. 😅
