the super early or super late bite seems to be the thing, off Holland at least 

2 years ago about this time of year we left the pierheads 3days in a row at 4am and by sunrise we had at least a half a dozen fish... may have to try that again

Whoops. Holland

I was thinking about an earlier start as well.

I remember those trips.  It seems like the lake had flipped and the cold water was in close as well.  You had over 30 fish in those trips if I recall correctly.

I have fished the night bite for most of my time on the water because while I was working, that was the time available to me.  Having a bit of moon light is a plus.  Not a big fan of pitch dark.  However, baking in the sun mid day is no picnic either.  My crew from Waukegan days is not here in Michigan so I don't fish the darkness as much unless it is past sunset float.  Then game on.
