Morning vs Afternoon bite

How does the afternoon king bite compare to the morning bite (generally speaking)?

I get bigger fish from 10:30-4:00.

Afternoon can be very good especially when during full moon cycles.

The last couple hours of daylight can be some of the best and most productive fishing.

I always fish in the morning, because of the afternoon storms that come up at times, and I don't like messing around in the dark to retrieve the boat and clean fish etc. But I know that wasn't what you asked, so I'll shut up.

I find afternoons are often more productive specially when the morning bite is slow. The last 2 hrs of daylight can be fire !

On the west side of the lake (Olcott) since late june I have seen no advantage to getting up and on the lake by dawn.  Find the right down temp and the bait and its on.  

 

bout time - That is a great bit of info for me as fishing for salmon on the west coast/washington state during a full moon is worst time no matter what time of day.  I have followed the same assumption here in NY but I have 0 evidence to back it up, just assumed....  Thank You for the tip!

I fish am and pm trips many days, and i like both.. But the pm trips can and are usually awesome. I can go back to where i was and know the program with almost always nobody else out.

So if you are new to trolling for the Kings it sound like fishing in the afternoon until sunset is the best time. However being a small boat owner (16'), and assuming no afternoon storms would you recommend this? One of my concern is the less boat traffic. Less help if something goes wrong. Would be going out of Oswego hopefully within the next two weeks or so. I wish i knew other people going up so I had a buddy system. Any suggestion or comments appreciated.

There will always be enough people around to help you if you need it specially this time of the year. Generally as far as waves are concerned the lake tends to lay down during the evening for the most part.
