Been a member for a short time but have learned some good stuff here. As I read the reports, I am guessing the bite on the pier is mostly early, and late, but there are times that schools of active fish move in and feed at different times of the day. So, even in the hot months, a man/woman could catch something nice any time of the day, IF you can bear the heat. With that said, I am wondering about the night bite also. Heck, we coming to fish, not babe watch. Lol
