I'm confused. You're going fishing, and you're wondering about what time of
day to catch bonefish. Who cares? Fish all day. When you catch one, you
catch one. There's your answer. :-) If you're on vacation, you only need to
phish, phuque, and eat. Any questions?

I'm about to head south for a week of bonefishing.
This will be trip #7 for me.

Conventional wisdom has it that bonefish are on the move
(and easiest to catch) on a coming tide, and also (but less
so) on a falling tide, and the higher the tide the better.

But I've also noticed they seem to be easiest to find and
catch about 10:00am to 1:00pm *regardless* the tide.

So far so good. Set me straight if I've got it wrong.

================================================

But what about the evening?
I've never been out late--because it's treacherous to
run the boat back (in shallow water) in the dark, and because
it's a little scary to wade the shallows when it's getting dark.

But I'm curious anyway. Do they get active again in the
evening? Like, for instance, trout?

Or is a coming tide in mid to late morning the *only* good time to
look for them?
