I have fished in the morning and then tried again in the evening but it has always been too much even when I was young. The evening part kind of interferes with the next day morning part.
My dad use to take a week off during the teachers convention and go fishing down at KY Lake and took me with him. He would wake me up at 4 am and we would be on the water before the sun was fully up and the fog had not lifed yet. It took us 30 minutes to get out on the main lake as the fog was so bad in the mornings. We would hug the bank and fish, working our way out to the main lake. We would fish the part of the main lake at the mouth of the bay where there was a small island between the main lake and the shoreline. We woudl fish this spot with the morning sun slowly peaking over the horizon. We would then work our way down the lake towards the **** and fish the Hot Spot and Shannon Creek. By 10 O'clock or around noon some times if the fishing was good we would head back in and clean the fish and take a nap. He would wake me back up by 4 pm and we would be back out fishing until dark. Then we would clean the fish and make supper and go to bed after watching some TV or reading for a while. Then the next day it was the same thing all over again.

Now that my dad passed away back in 2001 I take my time when fishing. I may not get on the water until 10 am and fish when I feel like it. I'll stop fishing when I get tired and there is no rush ever. I'm the same way when I take a vacation. A vacation is suppose to be a time to relax IMHO. It's not a time to rush around on a time schedule. My X wife was like that and I hated her when she did things like that while we were on vaction. That's what work is for. Time schedules. Vacations are when it's time to slows down and not rush around on a schedule.
