Daylight Savings Time 2024
WVU-SCPA reply :
Only 12 days away and kind of a true start to "fishing season" for myself. Being light till 7 allows for the weekday fishing option.
Now if these 50 mph winds would just bring warm weather. Spring is coming.....
Gundog reply :
I'm with about the DST. I personally wish they would keep it year-round. As far as starting the fishing season, I only wish that was true in my area but it does signal the coming of something better and it lifts my mood a bit.
A-Jay reply :
If simply spinning the hand around on the face of a clock could some how cause this mess (snow & ice) to magically vanish . . . . . I'd have worn my right index finger to the bone a looooong time ago . . .

Changing time twice a year - dumbest thing ever. I hate it. Pick a time zone and be done with it. We were one of the last states to convert. Still one or two left, holding their ground.
Preytorien reply :
The DST switch is my favorite day of the year -- getting "an extra hour of sunlight" per day means I can spend more time outdoors after work
TnRiver46 reply :
It's only 12 days away? Heck yeah !!!!

Agree with all.
Been pretty bad last several weeks....any weekend days where the temp goes over about 42, something triggers major wind events.

Nothing like wanting to go to bed but the neighbor is mowing grass at 9:30.
Glaucus reply :
2 week extended forecast into March... 20s, teens, and single digits. I'm so freaking over it. Best weather comes at the end of the forecast with 41 degrees and... 80 percent rain. Illinois is a true cesspool in every way.

I'm just one state east of you. We're in for it, too. I will say that I remember early March blitzes like this transition to nice weather real fast. Last year everything tanked the second half of March. Let's get it over with.
Don51 reply :
Hate it! I live in FL, it's hot! I need to get out at sunrise and now it will be even a later start. It won't get light here until 8 a.m.! For me the day is half over! ????

Sam reply :
Love it!
Love the late sunsets and the time it allows us to do more fishing at the end of the day.
Hate the late sunrise when you have to drive and get set up in the dark.
But it is what it is and you just have to roll with the punches.
Koz reply :
I love the days with longer light because it gives me the opportunity to do a lot more outdoor activities after work. Since I'm a bank fisherman here in the SC Lowcountry I can't fish the banks in the dark of night for fear of alligators.
RAMBLER reply :
I don't care if there is daylight savings time or not. Just have it one way or the other and quit changing it. If you want to do something early or late, do it, but don't make a law that says everybody has to live by your clock!
Glaucus reply :
If it wasn't for smartphones automatically changing time I would always be late twice a year. Or early in one case I guess.
Oregon Native reply :
Interesting and fun reading all your different reasoning's....mine....as I get older the ol brain doesn't seem to be getting any younger other than forgetting stuff. As the days get longer I just flat wear my self out. I'm up early usually and so when I go fishing it's dawn to usually close to dark. I've had friends (kinda) want to go fishing and after four or five hours they casually mention...what time ya going in...I say...close to dinner probably....Oh...they say....wife wants me home earlier ….she has stuff for me to do. Oh....I'm thinking....!@%&....this guy will never see this boat again!!
Troy85 reply :
Yep. DST means the start of Wednesday evening tourney and fishing after work.

Or having them do it before you wake up. Pick your poison. I hate when it gets dark at 5:00. Who does that help? Criminals? Car accidents during rush hour?
Bluebasser86 reply :
DST means I get to work 7 hours and get paid for 8 that night ???? Of course I get to work through the longest hour of the year each fall too when the clock sets back.

You need to do what I did. Bought a snow blower with a headlight on it. Hate to make people mad but we haven't had enough snow here to use it yet this winter.
Ksam1234 reply :
Yeah the two week forecast here shows lows of 10 and highs of 30!! So excited... not! I hoping it warms up by end of March so we can have an early ice out!
WVU-SCPA reply :
Annual reminder, only 10 days away till an extra hour of evening fishing.
The weather outlook for PA isn't hateful either.

No offense, but the dumbest practice, ever. Indiana used to not observe it, one of the last to change, but we caved and I’ve been bitter ever since - lol ????

I’m with you here. I like ST! Light earlier and dark earlier. Early to bed early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise! Ah, maybe sometimes.

X2. But up here in Virginia we don't fish at night due to the snapping turtles and copperheads.

The same way Arizona and Indiana and their bordering states do it.
TnRiver46 reply :
Can’t wait til 1 more hour of fishing after work!!
Eric~ reply :
Yes, I can’t wait! As a bank fisherman that extra time before dark on the weekday after work is awesome.

You guys are lucky. I'm next door to you and think its so ridiculous. We passed a prop to end it, but it needs to be approved by legislation and now the bill has now been delayed. Ugh.

It messes with our sleep schedules and for us old, retired gents - that's a major pain. Waking up when it's still dark out is NOT something I like.
Ban Daylight Savings Time - it's a pain in the rump.

Yea - Just weirds me out - I mean more than usual.
On the other end of this is that since we are so far west in the EST zone,
come June & early July, sunset's after 10 pm . . .
Of course we'll still have snow . . . .
Hep me hep me . . .

I’m retired. I get up when my body tells me too and I go to sleep when I’m tired. If it’s still dark out and I don’t want to get up, I don’t. Doesn’t matter to me what time the clock says it is.

Well, home situation...wife likes early-bed, early-rise...and since I'm her PCA, means I do that too.
geo g reply :
I would love to have it all the time, but it makes no sense if one state does it alone. It would be a nightmare to have to adjust constantly to time change, adjusting watches, and interstate business would have some real problems both vertically and horizontally! Lol

Tn, I don't fish local ponds at night.
On Hobbyhill Road in Richmond there are snapping turtles. How do I know? Saw one trying to cross the road from the pond.
On Lochinvar Road in Richmond there are snapping turtles. How do I know? Because I used to throw bread to them (there are two) while fishing the pond. They would stay their distance and float in the water watching me.
And on Lochinvar Road pond I saw a copperhead slither below me as I stood on the dock.
No reason to go fishing at night at our local ponds.

Another vote for al year long.
ohboyitsrobby reply :
I'm super excited about extra daylight. Being as the shop is a whopping 3 minutes from the boat ramp it's easy to get excited. Just tote the ole javelin to work and fish till dark. Plus dst means it's getting warmer and there'll be more ways to catch em.

My internal clock has me up at 5am every morning, once summer rolls around I have to set the alarm for 4:30 so I can be on the water as the sun comes up.
Wife still finds it amusing that I dont set an alarm for work but do for fishing
I think TN is talking about making DST permanent because of how the state is split

Is there something preventing you fron fishing before daylight?

For me, it's the lack of daylight
OCdockskipper reply :
I will take the opposite stance from most of you, DST serves a purpose and benefits society.
Where you are in a time zone will vary the specifics, but the issue with Standard time is you have the sun rising so early during the summer. In So Cal, if we kept standard time year round we would have first light at 4:30 am and sunset at 7:30 pm. DST moves an hour of sunlight to a time it is more useful for most people.
Now my state is dumb enough to have voted to stay on DST year round (pending federal approval). That means come December, we will have 8:00 am sunrises. That creates an even bigger mess on our roads as well as safety issues for kids going to school.
DST is nothing more than a simple way to manipulate the extra daylight we get in the summer months. I would prefer it to begin later (April) and end earlier (October). Nonetheless, I like the purpose it serves.

Me too. I remember trying it year round, and it was dark too late for the bus. I definitely don't need sunrise to be any earlier in June/July, and enjoy it getting dark later.

Have yet to be bothered by one and most of them will turn tail and run if they see you coming. The probability of you getting attacked is lower than that of you getting in a serious car wreck. Without knowing your situation, I can tell you I'm young and still willing to take risks but don't let fear hold you back either. Plus, there are lot's of precautions you can take to prevent a chance encounter. Gotta risk it for the biscuit. ????
