Early morning not only adds a mystique of watching the sunrise and terrific fishing, especially during shad spawns, but you also beat a lot of the wakeboats and knuckleheads out just burning gas
Randy ty for your videos. They are very important to guys like me who didn’t grow up with fishing role models or mentors. You close the gap on our learning curve and I can’t say enough how much it is appreciated
Thanks for this Randy......I'm here in the UK and appreciate this video so much. I so often listen to people including some experienced anglers say early morning, and evening are the only times to cast a line, whatever the time of year. I have gotten so caught up in trying to do the right things at the right times and using the latest in trend method that sometimes I have found myself not enjoying the process. I'm not out trying to win trophies or money, I just want to have a great day. From now on I will go out there and enjoy my fishing at a time and place that suits me. I may as well blank whilst I'm enjoying it as opposed to when others think Im probably wasting my time lol 😂😂😂
Thank you so much 💓!!! Now don't have to feel guilty for not hitting the spot 4am in the morning. 😢 Even when I did, didn't catch any. Also before sunset is a good time but not always. As long as they don't care about what and where you cast, just enjoy the midday time. Great wisdom!
I agree. The only time I do is when I'm lucky and ready. Sometimes I wake up early and can't get back to sleep, on those mornings I'm happy that I keep my gear packed and ready to go at a moments notice. Only time I do some sunrise fishing is by accident when stars align, lol.
During the hot summer here , if you go in the middle of the day here down south you will not catch much , it gets too hot for em , if I do fish during this time you have till about 10:00am in the morning and the evenings you have a few hours before dark that they will only feed in the month of June , July , and August
Great info Randy! I follow Prime Times from Rick Taylor and what you are saying is in alignment with Prime Times. The bite window in the high sun seems to be 11:30AM and 3:00PM according to Rick. I have experienced this bite phenomenon first hand. I never miss fishing this time of day!
Great points! You need to know your body of water, eg your ‘varies lake to lake’ comment. My PB LMB was 4:45am mimicking early morning baitfish (needless to say, no one else was on the lake yet).
As a kayak fisherman, from dawn until 10am is the only peaceful time to be on water. After around 10, you gotta find a no engines allowed lake, or risk death
I would love to fish mid day so I could sleep in, but here in the Phoenix area, anything after 9 am your being tossed by the swells and waves that ski and wave boat make. The lake gets like a washing machine.
Honestly the main reason I fish at sunrise because there are a lot fewer people. My home like is crowded with live bait users all day between noon and 7pm
it depend about alot of things, where i live there is so many different spots, swamps, lakes, rivers. in one spot i can get the fish on the morning and at dawn, in other spots in midday, after rain some spots got really muddy and some swampy place got the crystal clear water. i go from one to the other because in some place i cant get any bites but 3miles aways they bite like crazy. its hard to pu a general fits all thing on this in my opinion
Couldn’t agree more! We quit trying to get out to fish at anytime before 10am. In fact, we never usually catch any bass before noon here in western NY…best bites start around 3-5pm. 🤷♂️
Yeah, just on Thursday water. I caught more during full light, fishing the shadows at 5:00 pm to 6:30 pm. When the evening shade came, I that is when I expected to get better bites.....nada. With that said, this lake used to go off the hook in last 20 minutes before sunset when the sun went behind certain trees. I don't know what changed. But I find myself getting to the lake later afternoon and get a surprising amount of fish in full sun but fishing the tight shade exactly like you said.
Early morning is so overrated. I've caught a lot of my best fish during the day, or at night. But I've noticed a lot of the bite depends on available cover. If they dump herbicides into the lake to kill weeds, they don't bite well during the day. But if there's good available cover, the fish usually feel secure and bite well when the sun is up.
@@Aethelvlad lol well at the risk of bragging it was my 3rd biggest last week. (Best fishing week of my life). I also got a 24" that was 8lbs 10 oz and a GIANT 25.25" that was 10.1
Dawn/dusk is the "magic hours" for a reason. Just feeding habits and biology. Bass are non eyelid fish, in bright sky situations they don't like moving as much because of bird strikes. It's science, bass feed most at night so dawn/dusk isn't made up, it's just the best transition period
yeah there's no way. It's too hot, too many pleasure boaters, and all the fish are hiding from the sun like i should be. I'll stick with night fishing.
Ninety percent of the bass of cotton has been in the morning or in the afternoon to evening.... I've caught big bass in the middle of the day, traffic but I definitely caught more fish in the morning an evening. It was funny that you say it's because we can see better during the day because at night they still eat food and they can't see better then

Hard to argue with that. The water never looks prettier than first thing in the morning.
Yep!!!

Well said

Early morning going fishing with dad was the greatest part of childhood.
Lucky. Mine always refused to take me.

Great advice and the older I get the harder it is to get on the water at day break.
I agree. The only time I do is when I'm lucky and ready. Sometimes I wake up early and can't get back to sleep, on those mornings I'm happy that I keep my gear packed and ready to go at a moments notice. Only time I do some sunrise fishing is by accident when stars align, lol.
In the middle of the day the lake is so busy tho it’s hard to enjoy it
You gotta go where they ain't bud
During the hot summer here , if you go in the middle of the day here down south you will not catch much , it gets too hot for em , if I do fish during this time you have till about 10:00am in the morning and the evenings you have a few hours before dark that they will only feed in the month of June , July , and August
Hi Randy, I’ll see it again. Your correct in everything about fishing ! Thanks Randy !
Thank you for advice

I'll agree to that, I like going early because it's cooler and less boat traffic . But I definitely understand what you mean.

I always fish in the morning I’ve never got something because I just started fishing 3 weeks ago I got. A bite or two but this is really helpfull
Thank you Randy!

Randy the trees behind u with tape is that the property line or trees u plan on cutting for the new tackle room?? Lol 😁😘

Yeah you're up north! Deep south is different. It gets too hot for fish

Randy, your video quality had been incredible lately. Must have got a new camera! Looks great!
I’m in Texas and this summer is dedicated to my big swim baits. I usually just throw XD8 and 10 in deep water. But I’m going to try big swim baits.
Yeah , in Florida in the middle of the day in summer . It's 90 degrees by 9:00 . You can barely stand to be outside .

Caught quite a few good fish at lunch time!
Just got off the water and only got 2 but one was 23.5" and about 8.5lbs
That's crazy bro, as someone who eats bass, I'm jealous

Up north the heat is not as bad or as hot
I wish you could convince the majority to stay home til about ten o’clock
Lovely size
I'm not setting a alarm on my day off for nothing well except for white tails
Fishing from the bank, most of the biggest bass I catch is during the middle of the day, sunny skies.
Would this apply for fishing from the bank as well?
Man our lakes are great first 2 hrs then there is the 10 to 12 dead zone but once the sun gets high it's a whack fest
I prefer mid-day fishing. Most people are off the lake by then. Even in the heat of summer, I still catch fish.
Randy where are u at? Are you moving?
yeah there's no way. It's too hot, too many pleasure boaters, and all the fish are hiding from the sun like i should be. I'll stick with night fishing.
Fish feed a lot at night so why would more light matter?
True. He just said a while back fish feed all night
Cus i dont Wakeup early for nutn
LOL! I can tell this guy doesn't fish anywhere near my part of the country. You can't catch anything mid day around here.
Midday fishing in a small lake with high fishing pressure paddle boats dogs jumping in the water people crowding your fishing spots. No thank you
I disagree
