What is Fishing, Ch. 5: When do fish bite?
Chapter 5
So, the most important question in a blog about fishing is this: When do fish bite?
Let me be scientific: I have fished early morning, mid-morning, noon, mid-afternoon, and late afternoon leading into evening.
I have fished during blazing hot days, windy days, full moon times, misting days, and early mornings with a bit of chill in the air.
On some early mornings I caught fish; others, not. The same with other times and conditions. Frankly, I could not determine when they would bite and when they wouldn't
Bottom line, fish bite when they dang-well want to.
Other than that, it's a mystery to me.
Addendum: I must change the vote tally. I HAVE found a most propituous time to fish: when a barometric change is imminent. They also tend to bite when light rain is falling. I learned these things in the interlude between now (12/27) and the date of this blog (9/30). Fall? Weather changes? Natural events?
