question on time of day

[143447]

Wondering if an afternoon to evening trip is worth it this time of year like April to May time frame?

I read decent reports all summer with evening trips being pretty good, it easier for me to launch in the afternoon and troll till dusk.

Any input is appreciated. Thanks

Better chance to get big Kings in evening IMO. Those big kings that spend their day inactive in ice-water get hungry and move inshore and higher in the water.

Whenever you can go, is a good time. As you know, can't catch'em without a line in the water. To answer your question in detail, I have found evening trips to become more productive beginning in June and continuing through Fall.

We were at Fairhaven this past weekend and we found the late afternoon bite to be better than the morning. We were using stick baits and spoons off of planner boards. Baits with green and orange seemed to work best for us. Good luck!

I have to agree with Capt. Vince, fish when you can. When asked the best time to go salmon fishing I will tell clients -- RIGHT now and if you can't go now than go tomorrow morning.

I have a friend that fishes evenings out of Bear Creek and he puts up some impressive one man numbers. He goes all season long never goes very far from shore. He had a great after work fish this past Friday.
