Then in afternoon eve it can pick up again. I was up over the weekend, we were getting only 2 to 4 kokes in the few mornings we fished for 3- 4 hours, caught too many cutts for my liking.
Did have a buddy up Monday he got into a few in late afternoon on S. C. Side.
I did hear of a couple decent catches over the weekend, they were fishing very early then they said it quit shortly after it got bright.
That’s fishing, it leaves us all wondering

I think the huge full moon plays a role as well. When it's hitting the horizon at daylight just when you're getting on the water the fish and game activity is at it's lowest according to the solunar tables. Directly overhead or underfoot are the high periods and they seem to be more amplified on the full moon and the low activity periods when it's near the horizon is the exact opposite.
