What is the best time of day to fish for sturgeon?

I always found that early mornings tend to be better, or anytime before noon (central time). We use night crawlers and a simple hook probably in 10-15 ft of water...they are bottom feeders so they will eat just about anything, but night crawlers produced the best results for me.

Its lake somerville.  Its pretty good right now the white bass are running and a friend of mine went the other day just wading and caught 40.  The crappie and catfish are biting pretty good also.  Black bass are fair in the mornings.  The lake is known mostly for white bass fishing but there is very good catfish and crappie fishing at times.  It is not really known to be a good large mouth lake, I think the current record is around 12 lbs. If you want to catch white bass go to Welch park and take a right.  Follow the road around past the boat ramp. You will see sort of an island out there.  wade out in the mornings about waist deep and use shad or spoons if you prefer artificial bait.

The best retrieve is the one that catches fish on any given day.  Different retrieves work in different circumstances.  Experiment a little until you hit one that works where you are.  Watch the insects or minnows you are mimicking and copy them. Good luck.

All year around is marlin, tuna and dorado, but on winter time water is cold and have to go further.\nJuly to November is the best.\nOctober is when we have all the tournaments.

You have to check with your state, but here in Michigan it always starts the last Saturday of April. this year its 4-29-06. Be careful there are other species of fish that have restrictions too. Also watch your bait, on certain rivers you can only use certain bait, and a certain size. And some parts of streams are only catch and release. When you get your fishing licsends a book, or guide should be available for free. And if all else fails go to your states website, then find your department of natural resources, or something of that sort, and it will be all listed on that link. Most of it is printable too! Good luck, and i hope you catch lots of fish.

This question has a rather large answer. but I will do my best.  Everything!  First of all, the season plays the biggest roll in where the fish will be holding.  Winter time, the fish go deep.  Same with hot weather days in summer.  In spring, the fish do different things.  Actually spring should be thought of as three seperate parts.  Pre-spawn, spawn, and post-spawn.  In pre-spawn, the males will make a nest usually in shallower water, and then stay around the nest, looking, and waiting for a female to arrive.   usually don't fish during the spawn because if you do, you can damage the fish population at the lake your fishing. After the female lays the eggs, and they are fertilized, the male will stand guard over the nest.  Catching the male that is guarding the nest, will leave it open for bluegill and other fish to come in and steal and eat the eggs.  Post-spawn is one of the hardest times to fish, because the fish will seek deeper water, and/or go into heavy weeds to recupperate from the spawn.  During early fall fish will still be in their summer holding areas, although they'll move around more and travel the migration routes between deep and shallow areas. As the water and air temperatures drop, fish will move toward the shallow areas and spend more time feeding in them. A sudden rise in a lake or reservoir due to fall rains can cause a mass migration into the freshly submerged weeds and brush. Major tributaries are also prime fall spots, since fish tend to follow foraging fish toward the influx of water. In late fall, as the lake cools, fish become even more active, needing to fill up before the coming winter months. They can be located almost anyplace at this time, but shallow areas particularly those close to major migration routes as well as migration routes themselves can be productive. The fish are generally moving back to their winter holding areas, and the same places you found them in early spring can again be productive. The upper ends of tributaries and major creeks can be extremely rewarding to prospect as they provide a concentration of shallow water, migration routes and deep water in a relatively small area.  In colder winter months, most fish will be schooled in deep holding areas at this time, although they may make occasional forays into shallow water along major migration routes. Winter fish prefer vertical holding areas such as bluffs, submerged trees and deep creek channels, rather than the sloping areas of shallows, flats, etc. The reason is that they can adjust to light and temperature changes simply by ascending or descending, rather than making a more strenuous horizontal migration. Second, air temperature, and conditions play a major role in where fish will be holding.  The barometer also plays a large role.  If a storm is moving in, it is said that fish will feed before and during the storm. Do to the fact that forage fish are chasing newly stirred up plankton, which in turn starts a feeding frenzy.  As a cold front moves in, fish sense this, and head for deeper water. As I mentioned before, the water level also plays a role. As well as the phase of the moon.  Supposedly, during the full moon is one of if not the best time to fish.  I actually caught the biggest bass I have yet to catch, during a full moon, at 2 a.m.  Here are a few sites to further answer your question.  I hope I have helped in answering your question.

Carp here in MN are running Shallow today. I was just on the Mississippi and caught some NICE ones on crawlers about 10 yards from shore. Fish on the bottom always. Carp that are up high are not activly feeding\n\nLewis, they are the best fighter that the average joe can get from shore.

Best time to fish depends largely on where in OH and when it the body of water is stocked. Along the Ohio River the time of year for best fishing depends on the pool and the type of fish you are going for.  Typically between June and August are great times to fish, but good fishing in general picks up around April. Website may help clear some things up.  But it is up to you to clear your schedule up. Afternoon fishing may be the best time.

We have the best luck with spinners and buck tails.  Usually like them to have a little red on them.  You can use a little red finger nail polish on the head or spinner.  Also perch colored ones work great. When we are going after large pike we like to use muskie bate.  You will usually catch a lot of pike but an occasional muskie.  Nothing beats that!\n\nhttp://www.crazydtackle.com/spinbuckraddog.shtml

Calenders and charts are a waste of money. If you want to find a good time to fish, pick a clear day (unless you are fishing for walleye) with very light wind. Don't fish right after it rains, because most fish are dormant at these times. If you are looking for a good place to fish at this time of year, I would recommend Lake Winnebago, Big Cedar Lake, and small lakes that are warming up faster than the bigger ones, because the fish will be more active and they will stay active longer. If the lake is crowded wait until just before sunset to start fishing, because most of the fish will be too spooked to feed during the day when there are many motorboats.\n\nCatch a whopper!!

Well, it depends really on what part of the country you are in.  Some places go out in the morning and catch Shad.  They are the flat, wide and really shiny minnows.  The others are just minnows that they caught I am not sure of the technical names of them all.

It depends on what fish you are trying to catch. Somehow if you can tell me what you plan to catch, I can tell you which place is better.

Odd, I have found just the opposite as tcat, and the other answerer.  I have had the best results on low light conditions, early morning, and late evening.  As well as when a storm front is blowing in, and during a rain storm.  But on the contrary, I have also caught bass with buzzbaits on sunny days, but not with a big of a result than on cloudy low light days.  I guess I'd say try it out for yourself.  Every fisherman fishes different, so what works for me, may not work for you.  Just as you have seen from your answers.  Have fun, and tight lines.

Lord yes i have a ultra light rig set up, mainly for bream fishing. bream is a pan fish which will get up to about 1 1/2 lbs. best eating fish there is . but to catch it one is like catching a shark. they are the best fighting fish there is.i have a ice fishing rod about 18inches long with a ultra light spinner on it. i carry it on my bike or truck. i see a decent place to fish i stop. i like it when the place is full of snakes because that is where you catch your big ones. wanna go with me lol.
