Hi ,
Today i dont have any fishing buddy to go with me to the beach for nightfishing so just thought to write what i am learing since past weeks.
WHEN TO GO FOR FISHING
Generally, any time you can. Fish feed all the time. but if you'd like to better your odds of having a successful shore fishing trip, right before or after a change in air pressure is ideal (before or after it rains is a great time to head out to the water).
I know a lot of older fishermen who swear by the moon phases. 3 days before, during, and 3 days after a new moon.
Others say 3 days before, during, and 3 days after a full moon.
Fish are usually easier to catch at low light periods. From dawn to 3 hours after, and 3 hours before till dusk are great fishing times.
Night fishing is also a blast, but make sure you have a flashlight or headlamp. Also check the fire regulations if you plan on building a fire. Never, ever leave a fishing spot until you are sure the entire fire is out. Too much of our natural resources burn every year because someone "thought they put the fire out", or they "thought it would burn itself out". Don't take the chance. It only takes a few extra minutes to put it out right, but a generation to bring it back.
Cloudy days, with a lite breeze offer a great chance to catch fish all day. They are usually active most of the day feeding, or just moving around.
Clear calm days without a ripple on the water will produce fish, but the amount of fish may not be as good as when there are some ripples on the water.
If the water your fishing in is murky or dark, use darker baits or hooks.
If you are fishing in clear water, you'll probably do better with a bright colored lure.
General rule of thumb: clear sunny days-use brighter, colorful, shiny bait; dark overcast days - use dull, darker colored bait.
But rules of thumb are just a starting point, nobody said you have to stick to them.
