Darkness pm vs darkness am

Going to try a spot of night fishing soon.

Anyone noticed any difference in catch rates between evening darkness and morning darkness?

Cheers,
James

Don,t know why but when its real dark its much better. Probs fish are not scared by light. Its the same with fly fishing for trout-to sunny and its rubbish.

The difference is not the evening or morning its daylight and darkness fish come closer inshore during darkness and tend to stay in deeper water during the day, rock marks will out fish clean beach marks during the day because of the weed beds providing cover also the colliery beaches used to fish their t**s off during the day when the sea lifted and coloured the water but since the closure of the pits they don't produce as well. If you look at the trawlers they tend to fish well offshore during the day and close in shore during darkness. The tyne can fish at night but during daylight is normally more productive

There are no hard and fast rules. Dawn and dusk are often good, in my opinion. The change of light, particularly when it coincides with the first push of the tide is spot on.

If its sunny, the trout will stay deep in the water to avoid it. A sinking line usually fishes fine on such days BUT not always Mick !!!

Cheers.

ive always found that fishing at the start and through the night fishes better.

i stopped fishing towards daylight years ago as i found the fishing dropped right off.

About an hour after it goes dark at night seems to me to be best.... fish have been hiding out and not feeding as well during the day... get hungry and as soon as it goes dark develop the confidance to really start to feed.... morning darkness and the fish have been feeding all night and so in my experience it drops off....

As already said though, if the fish comes across a nice bit of food it will just wolf it down, daylight or darkness! I would guess the mark you fish has a massive influence.
