Default bonefish: time of day 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?
