Morning vs. Afternoon Fishing

[DragginBallz]

Looking for a little advice. I typically fish morning for salmon and lake trout and usually have no trouble catching them. Multiple times I have fished in the afternoons until sunset using the same techniques and lures and have had zero luck. Wondering if there is any tips or tricks to fishing afternoons? Should I be targeting them differently?

Nope, but there are “some” years that the afternoon bite is better than the morning one. On evening trips I’m quicker to run or troll out to deeper waters and then finish inside.

Moon phase also has a lot to do with it in my experience
