time to get out early late, or does it matter?
I got out yesterday a;m to a new lake, and seen more fish then I have ever seen in one sitting, last count 21. I have no doubts , some were repeat visits, but still very entertaining, ( and most were rails). i ask my wife to tag along this morning as well,. If I ask her the definition of morning, it will be 11 a;m. So I told her, no, I set the alarm for 6. she looked at me, like really? Yes really, well, its 7;30 now, and I still hear snoring. Now , after the rant, do you guys find it time related to when pike will move, or not?. I think I fish, like I deer hunt, that it is an a;m or p;m thing. I guess I need 2 books, one on pike behavior, one on wife behavior,lol,,,PS,, want more info on pike behavior

By far my best time for big pike movement has always been between 9:30 and 11:30 am. I get excited when I get a sunny morning to spear.
yesterday I was set up and going at 8:50, and by 9:01, had seen 4 fish, I shooter, but I missed, then another short within 5 min.
Not a fan of sunny days. They don't seem to move.
Just speared a nice one at high noon and the sun was very bright. Hmmm
My favorite time to spear is whenever I can get out. I joined the 4d” club at 2pm. I love dusk tho. Pike come in like freight trains then.
4 pm is the start of the magic time
I haven't noticed a period of the day that's stuck out to me as consistently a hot time. My belief is the more AIS time you put in, the greater your odds of pike dinners.

Since you cospeared it with your wombmate technically you only get 20" of fish to claim...

we had pike last night, egg wash, breadcrumbs, parm. cheese and pesto, incredible eating
A lot of variables involved can affect movement, definitely barameter. On some Lakes it seems like first and last hour are the best. On others it can be all day long. I have noticed that all my biggest fish have been like my biggest bucks...between 10 & 2. I just go when I have the available time and don’t worry about a set timeframe.
Like between 10 and 2. Have stuck some hogs inbetw÷en . 42 and 36. 1 o'clock !!!!
