"sunny days are important early in the year.
This helps to warm the water and get those
bass out of a sluggish state".
This is the quote from that short article.I think it is clear on what it means.
Very early in the season the fish are a bit sluggish,when you have a bright sun beating on the relativly shallow water at the west wall it helps to get the "blood flowing" and turn on what ever bass are there to feed a bit more aggresivly.
As far as the 5pm deal goes,I think you are taking that a little to literally.Of course you can go there when ever you want! The best fishing however has always been late in the day.I would not get there much before 4:58pm 4:57 is way to early if you are there any time after 5:01 you will be to late,do not bother and head home and be sure to try and make it the next day for at least 4:58pm.
Peak activity is always from exactly 5:03pm until 5:37pm (on sunny days) On the cloudy days the peak is at 4:41pm until 5:06pm. You do have a window of exactly 32.68888 seconds where you may get a strike on your lure but, only if this window accours before the high water mark at 5:27pm.Also, if the moon and the sun are sincronized to the blowferdy condition which occurs on march 28th at exactly 5:15pm and lasts until 5:17pm,your in luck!! It will be blitzy!!
Please remeber! Whenever you have a mid tide tredgeover condition cooridinated with a star alighned backwash,you should be there.
I was once on the wall at exaclty 3:32pm on a sunday with a condition descibed above along with that great set of conditions,I also had a current gapover phenomenon!! I caught all the fish I could handle in the next 25seconds!!It pays to stay on top of these things!!
Good luck!!
(Please ask JohnR All questions relating to these wonderfull and little heard of conditions)
