A Fishing Guide For Choosing The Best Times To Fish

By Carl Drotsky


A large number of people, who pick up a rod and head out fishing, have often times little idea as to why it is that a fish may bite or not. For many, a common piece of 'stood the test of time' advice about fishing being best in the morning a evening is held fast to, and they go out to do their best. But, after withstanding many hours waiting with rod in hand, hoping for that nibble, one may begin to ask questions. With the asking, one can learn that fishing success can come from following some complex rules. Unfortunately it is not as easy as early mornings and late evenings filling your bucket. There is more to your fishing success than may perhaps be mentioned in the standard fishing guide.

It would probably not work just to start out fishing whenever the mood hits you. There are environmental clues that can reveal to you when you may have the best chance of success. The following tips should help you to see that there are some times when you just cannot hope to have a good fish harvest. We would suggest that in these times you give up the idea for that day and rather head out to your next hobby that interests you instead. We are not saying you need to time your fishing around some complex rules. It is necessary however to understand a little more about how it works.

The first clue to look for as you plan a trip to your favorite lake, is to see what the weather is like. Fish are sensitive to temperature in the air as well as the water. They also pick up the humidity and pressure levels around them. Keeping a log of your trips and how the fish are biting in various weather conditions will help you to determine when in the future it would be a good time to get the tackle out.

In the animal kingdom, every creature, with possibly the exception of the human race, has sensitivity to the phases of the moon. These phases can govern the activities performed at different times. Looking at fish, for example, they tend to feed more vigorously when the moon approaches full. Fishing at this time on the calendar may certainly bring you greater fishing success than at any other time.

A fishing book designed to guide you on optimal fishing times, cannot always give you the most correct local advice. One can really only get an outline of the many different factors that have been researched to affect fishing success generally. What each fisherman needs to do with those guidelines is to do his own research within his favorite fishing areas and in this way apply the tips that one reads to your situation.
