I have heard people blame the tides, clouds, and the moon, but never the
time of day. My guess is that the mornings would be best because the winds
are often weaker, and you can see the fish better, and cast better.

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?
