The Best Time Of Day To Catch Fish

Did you ever wonder what the best time of day to catch fish is? I know, I know, the best time to catch fish is anytime that you can, but the truth of the matter is that some times are better for fishing than others. To the amateur, fishing is all about luck, but to the more seasoned angler, we realize that there is much more to the fish catching equation. The bottom line is that the best time to catch fish can be determined fairly easily.

More than 25 years ago I had the pleasure of learning to fish from someone I have always considered to be a fishing 'master'. This man was the best angler I've ever known, and regularly caught trophy fish (on ultra light gear), out of waterways most anglers thought fish of that size didn't reside in. It was truly a beautiful thing to witness, and in this article I'm going to reveal the secret to determining the best time to catch fish.

This secret was taught to me by the man I was referring to, and has to due with two forces of Mother Nature. Those two forces of Mother Nature are the weather and the moon, and they have as much to do with your fishing success or failure as the bait you use. Many anglers don't realize this, but it's nonetheless true. The best time to catch fish is when the weather and moon are in your favor, rather than working against you.

The best way to make sure that these two forces of Mother Nature are in your favor is by educating yourself a little bit. Don't worry, I'm not talking about becoming a meteorologist or astronomer, I'm just talking about learning the ways in which these two forces affect fish behavior and therefore fishing. All you need to know is which phases of the moon are the most important, and which fronts have what impact on fishing.

If you know the ways in which these two things affect fishing, you'll know what you need to know. As a matter of fact, you can learn what you need know about these subjects in about a half an hour of study. That is of course if the information is compiled in one place for easy access. If you just search blindly, the information may be a bit more difficult to come by.

If you've ever had the pleasure of having one of those epic days fishing, where it seemed like you could do no wrong, you now know the reasons why. Those two reasons are the weather and moon, and they hold the key to knowing the best time to catch fish. After you start implementing this information, you'll realize that while luck obviously plays a role in fishing, it's probably much less of a factor than you ever imagined. Start using one or both of these forces of Mother Nature to your advantage, and you'll begin catching more fish; it's as simple as that.
