...mid May
+1. Check the tide calenders. Probably doesn't matter, but I like fishing when there are big tides. Big wind is better I guess....Quote:

Carolyn will eat any fish we catch and clean. She will eat venison, if it is ground, or cube steaks. She will NOT let me cook squirrel, rabbit, quail, or what have you, in my kitchen. I am chief cook. Whenever I work up the courage to ask, " Where else am I gonna cook'em?! I am told plain enough so even my d.a. can unnerstand, " NOT in here!" I believe I have just hijacked this thread. What were we talking about?
Oh, yeah - the topic -- I REALLY like late September and early October for kings. It's usually a good time, as well, to catch NICE SIZED spanish which probably flashed at my lures a hundred times in their youth!
After all --- you need a secondary target fish after catching a couple of kings, right? And then there's whiting, croakers, and speckled trout!
You might have to get creative on the outdoor grill or smoker! If you fry them, you can take a "Fry-Daddy" outside, weather permitting! All you'd need is an extension cord.Quote:

About late September/Early October --- the reason I mentioned that particular time is that the gun season in many states doesn't open until Mid-October and not all people bow hunt.Quote:

Nature is in charge, as much as I hate to admit it! I'd like to think that I can catch fish with a slack tide, no current and no wind, after a big storm has the water stirred up like chocolate milk, with seaweed and jellyfish everywhere -- But I know better. Sometimes, it's just not happening and it's this "mother nature" factor that is the asterisk to "what's the best time" questions. I think that we'll never know WHY fish turn on or turn off when conditions are right, as well!
having to make reservations months ahead of time, we have no choice but to take a chance on the weather. i know how it can influence the fishing. the tides and their relation to the fishing is a foreign topic to me.
The tides move in, the tides move out.Quote:
