Do you night fish or just fish during the day??
« on: Feb 01, 2011, 08:29 PM »
I go out fishing and as soon as it is dark--everyone starts leaving the lake.  I fish as late as I can and don't really understand why everyone leaves.  Does fishing luck fall into the crapper that much?

A dry line will never catch a fish.

 We fish the days for gills but once night falls the gills stop and the crappie heat up. So I like to do afternoons till 8-9 pm.
 Good Luck!

Only until right after sundown. The perch seem to shut off around that time, consistantly.

the trout fishing at night can be good. Most of the time it is better than the middle of the day
