 then I might say the overnight hours provided you can fish most of the night and not just a couple of hours. So a long way around the tree to tell you that I think I like the early morning first and then night fishing second. And the late afternoon is probably my least favorite time because it's so hot it still hasn't cooled off and it takes it so long to cool off as the sun goes down. I'm not sure that I'd choose late afternoon as a time to start unless I just had to. I had to work until late afternoon. That's the only time I got.
