Bites don't shut off due to time ... Time of the day does not matter one bit in saltwater fishing

Sure you will always catch a early mourning or late afternoon bite , but saying a place shuts down at a certain time is not true

Fish eat vs tide

When I'm at my camp @ Hebert and I know trout are feeding better on falling tide. I will not leave out till falling tide

Trout are easy greedy eaters ... 99.999 % of the time all that matters is tide
Not wind , water temp, pressure , sky...

Just tide movement , people who think all that other stuff matters don't know enough to know about fishing

I guess its a big coincidence for me then . Everytime ive fished the lake i caught all i was gonna catch before 9:30 - 10.guess ive just always caught the early morning bite

Some of my best trips have been mid day or early afternoon ....

As "W" stated, find a good tide app and you will save yourself lots of time. Catching the tide right is critical to catching fish consistently. Perfect example is the flounder run right now. Fish on wrong tide or slack tide and nothing- Same spot, same bait 2 hours later on moving tide and it is fish every cast. You might hit it right tmw. Morning tide looks like not much- should be a good tide around noon all through the evening. Good Luck.
