bass109 Posted August 14, 2005 Posted August 14, 2005 When i first started i used to fish all day to 6:00a.m. to 12:00p.m. but i now only fish for about 8 hours on bad day and all day on a good day. Quote
el_jewapo Posted August 14, 2005 Posted August 14, 2005 If I go in the morning I usually fish from day light to about 12 or 1. If I go after work I usually get on the water about 5:30 and fish till dark. All this is subject to change depending on how well the fish are biting. Or on a big lake, sometimes I'll fish all day.

Super User Gatorbassman Posted August 14, 2005 Super User Posted August 14, 2005 As long as the boss (my wife) will let me get away with. Keep her happy and live to fish another day. Quote
Rebbasser Posted August 14, 2005 Posted August 14, 2005 I really don't have a set amount of time. Like several others, first light to 1 or 2, 5:30 to dark-it just depends. Quote
abelfisher Posted August 14, 2005 Posted August 14, 2005 First light to about 11:00 - noon. Then I need to get off...too many boaters (skiers, jet skis) Then I will usually come home and do a few chores, then take my afternoon nap. Then I will ususally take the little lady out for dinner or bbq myself. Usually, Sat. evenings we either do a movie or watch a movie at home. (Or I get on this forum while the wife watches TV...like right now. She is watching some gymnastic stuff....BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
Super User Sam Posted August 14, 2005 Super User Posted August 14, 2005 First, I fish on weekdays so the boat and jet ski traffic is very low. Second, I like to start out at sunrise and fish all day, finding a shady spot or a bridge for lunch. Third, I go in around 3 or 4 in the afternoon unless they start biteing again. My bass club fishes on Saturday or Sundays and we start around 6:30 AM and fish to 4 PM. I am going night fishing with a buddy who is also a guide and a pro next month so it will be interesting to fish at night. Quote
hipster_dufus Posted August 14, 2005 Posted August 14, 2005 first lite till it gets too hot, noon or so,then u have to go home and nap,.i also try to fish weekdays, i work weekends, every weekend,arghhhh! Quote
paiged79 Posted August 14, 2005 Posted August 14, 2005 I usually fish for 4-6 hours starting at first light. I would like to fish more but I am usually in my inflatable boat so I get a little cramped after a while. Quote
ECP1989 Posted August 14, 2005 Posted August 14, 2005 I usually get out there at 6:30 which isn't very early and go in whenever my Grandpa gets to hot which is at about 12:00. I'll be 16 pretty soon so then I'll be able to take the boat out by myself for as long as I want. Quote
Rattlinrogue Posted August 14, 2005 Posted August 14, 2005 In weather like this,I'll generally fish 4 AM-8 Am.Sometimes,I'll it the lake at 6 PM and fish until after dark. Quote
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted August 14, 2005 Posted August 14, 2005 I'm the same as RR. 4a-8 or 9 then back out by 5ish till 10-11 Sat and sun and any day I can get off in between (which has been alot lately!) Quote
Shad_Master Posted August 14, 2005 Posted August 14, 2005 I stop by the "test pond" almost every morning to 1/2 hour to 45 minutes on my way to work. Then I spend my lunch "hour" at one of the local lakes nearby. In the evening it's back to the "test" pond around 8:15 until 9:30 or 9:45 (depending on how bad the skeeters are). On week-ends, if we have a tournament I will fish for 5 - 8 hours depending on the kind of tournament. If we don't have a tournament, I have all the honey-do's to get done, but try to work in a short stop on the way to run errands. What do you guys that have it bad do? ;D Quote
fishnguy Posted August 28, 2005 Posted August 28, 2005 i fish from about 6:00- 9:00 in the morning and in the evenings from about 5:30 till dark. Quote
Chris Posted August 28, 2005 Posted August 28, 2005 I fish until I run out of gas or my batteries are dead. Time frame don't matter. Quote
Guest DavidGreen Posted August 28, 2005 Posted August 28, 2005 From safe light till noon then I have to get back to the shop. I only fish week days because of the heavy ski and wave runner traffic on week ends. Quote
Phishn_Phool Posted August 28, 2005 Posted August 28, 2005 It is really different now than it was BF(before Florida) Now I have my boat exactly 8 step from my back door so all I do is lower the lift and trolling motor and I am fishing. This time of the year I do not fish on the weekends unless I am on them real good. I often in the winter go out 3 or 4 times a day. I do have 1 saying tho.."Fish at least 5 times a week, and no doctor will you seek" CPR ;D PS Thit is a Phishn Phool original LOL Quote
Hillbilly_Hooker Posted August 28, 2005 Posted August 28, 2005 My morning hours are usually taken by work, home, etc. I usually hit the local lake around 5-6pm in the evening and stay until dark or an hour after dark. Quote

Mikey Posted August 28, 2005 Posted August 28, 2005 My brother and I always show up around 2:30 pm and fish until the "Golden Hour" when dusk hits thats are most productive time and the prettiest ! Quote
Super User Grey Wolf Posted August 28, 2005 Super User Posted August 28, 2005 ANY WHERE FROM 2 - 12 HOURS. The situation dictates how long I'm on the water. Quote
jagdbdg Posted August 28, 2005 Posted August 28, 2005 Weekends from 6 to 1, 5 to 8 Weekdays 530 to 8 Quote
Pa Angler Posted August 28, 2005 Posted August 28, 2005 On a day trip 5am till I'm done which there is no set time. On a night trip 7pm till 7am the next day when fishing is good if it's not then anywhere from 7pm till 2am to 5am. Chow The Pa Angler Quote
