Here is one I have been wanting to get some feedback on for awhile.
I target my surf trips by maximizing my time in darkness, then look at tide, wind and location. For some unproven reason, I have a bias for fishing from 1am until sunrise, vs. fishing sunset into the night. Any thoughts from your experience? I had one of my best nights in the surf from 8pm to 10pm a few years ago, however, I usually plan my trips from midnight to dawn. I think I may be missing out on good opportunities if conditions look good in the evening.
Any insight into one being better than the other? The same?
