Hello Member's,
Well when is your favorite time to fish on the great lakes?
Well my favorite time is at night when there is not to many fisherman out fishing and I have the lake to myself. When I fish at Frankfort, there has been alot of times when everyone is coming back in and I will go out fishing till 3am and have alot of luck. It is alot of fun trying to catch a fish in the dark to.
well what is your favorite time,
Cazzzz

Rich, I like to fish daytime at least till it starts to get hot in July.
Then I like to switch over and go out about 3 in the afternoon.
Sun is not cooking me, like it does in the morning.

I like to set lines aroud 4:30 and be done by 8:30-9:00 and be home by 10:00 and spend some time with the kids on the weekends.

We like to start in the 5:00 pm range and fish into the dark. We have had some great action after dark but, if your boat is not setup for it, It can be a challenge.
I think the AM fishing is a lot easer when your closer to the lake.

I've only been fishing Lk Mi for a year, but the best time I've found is 6pm -11pm. Right at sundown the rods seem to fire on a regular basis. Day trips seem to be boat rides. Only had one morning trip and it was cut short due to weather and the technocolor yawn being displayed over the side of the boat. :eek: :(

technocolor yawn
That is sweet!... LOL
Can't say I ever heard that before.
I can't say I like any 1 more then the other 1.
As long as I'm on the water with rods set it seems to appeal to me equally. I frigging love it man!
I hang out fishin' with you guys in the a.m. leagues which of course sparks an idea to me....... Night League Date!!!

I love the 5:00 - 8:00 AM and the 7:00 - 10:00 PM time frames. Anyone ever notice on Lake Michigan; when the Sun hits the water and you hear that sizzling sound, The Kings go nuts.:)

This is going to sound like a broken record, but I like the 5am-10am and then 4:30-10:00pm time frame, too. I like the mornings a little better, but those afternoon trips with some co-workers after work are certainly a blast! Most of our best catch rates came in the evenings last year, too.

I agree %100 with you Frank. When the suns hits the water, GET READY!
I noticed when it's late in the day, the fish really start to come up. If we where whacking fish at 60' earlier in the day, as soon as the son drops the fish will come up to 30'-40'

You are correct Frank, here on Erie it's the same. I tell the guys when we are out at night, "as soon as the sun hit's the water, get ready!"
