Best fishing time - poll

[Bassassin]

Accepted bass fishing wisdom says that the best time to catch fish is early in the morning or late afternoon/evening. Looking back at my own catches, my biggest bass have all been caught between the hours of 10AM and 3PM. Hopefully a poll will provide some useful data based on the combined experiences of the members of this forum.

Doug Hannon aka The Bass Professor has after years of study determined that bigger fish are more likely to be caught at midday. He also strongly believes that feeding patterns are most affected by lunar cycles.

Most of my bigger fish have been caught between 11:00 and 14:00.

I have had success in low light conditions ( first and last light) but the bigger fish have also mainly come out around mid day :blue-idea:

Only at this bass fishing thing for 2 years but caught my bigger fish eg. 2kg-3kg and my PB of 4.75kg between 10am and 3pm but the fish are generaly more active in the early mornings and late afternoons.

90% of my big bass have also come out during 12:00 - 15:00. It is by far the best time to catch a big bass in my eyes and that goes for all year round. :blue-cool:

My biggest fish was caught at about 2pm, but I must say that I have had most of my bigger fish come out after the magic 3pm mark

I have done almost no late afternoon fishing… only really 4:00pm shut offs at compos… maybe it’s time to do a few… all my bigger fish have been caught early morning apart from the Siteka record of 3,02kg’s that I caught at midday if my memory serves me right.
