Agreed. I only get a week so I could care less what time it is or what the tides are.
I will add, sunrise is an enjoyable time to be on the beach.

In a snazzy fit of anticipation, I checked the tide charts for my 10 days in paradise this October...seems that the high and low tides will be following the sunrise and sunset times. In between is 11 hrs and 40 some odd minutes of bliss as the light of day almost matches the night.
So, that will give me 12hrs on the pier, and 12 hours on the lagoon - dragging bottom for the fall flounder.
OH MY! Sleep be damned.
Agree on the dawn bite, it is pretty consistent once it gets started good. But when I get a day to fish, I use it. If I lived there, I might wait till I saw the wind blowing the tops off the waves.....
As Rich said - If (when) I lived there - I would be more selective as to when I fished. Given my limited window..I am quite happy to spend my time leaning on the rail and waiting (see profile) But I do occasionally break for meal times and the occasional nap - and it would be an excellent opportunity for the pier to create a revenue source if they had rental lockers big enough for a pier cart and rods. It would be worth it to not have to load the buggy and rods up..and get them back out in a few hours.
I like that idea.....Okaloosa had lockers for the regulars for a time period. (Rental)......and if I lived there I would be more picky for fishing days,like I am up here in the boat.Quote:
