Just before the sun breaks over the trees at sunrise until a couple hours after (spring through fall). And then about 1.5 hrs before sunset until the sun sets. My game dies the minute the sun is completely gone. Usually topwater i.e. buzzbait, frog or popper tossed in, on and around shallow grass flats (3 feet of water or less).

In the summer, same times plus anytime not high noon. I toss frogs on the shady side of every grass matt and right against (or on) the shore or weightless worms on the shade side of stick-ups. I love seeing a frog explode on landing when it's 95 degrees in mid-July!

morning

7 pm to about 11 pm. Usually using poppers, Zara spooks or jitterbugs.
