During mid day on bluebird days, I can usually catch a fish an hour (either on a squarebill or spook fan casting the shaded banks) on my father-in-laws neighborhood lake, but once it hits 5-6pm and temps start to cool down, it's like someone flips a switch and I can't buy a bite for the rest of the day or even night regardless of what lures I try (reaction lures to jigs to seniors) I assume that the bass start to roam more freely as temps drop but can't seem to locate them. On my Deeper fishfinder, I'll occasionally see a fish at 5-6ft deep (suspended 1-3 feet off the bottom) but rarely have any luck catching fish in open water. In the dead of summer, top water evening/night fishing is pretty productive but not at all right now. Is this typical or am I missing something?

It's been raining every day here and I can only get bit late in the evening.. Won a evening tournament last Friday.. caught big bass if the tournament right at dark.. My co angler was picking up his stuff and Made 1 last cast with the black spro frog and wham!

I would give it about 2 more hours.  I usually do great between 7-8.  Then some times later between 9-10 (this is a great time for whipers around here).
