motlyman 0 Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Hi,When we have been fishing in the boat we seem to have quiet mornings (we go after school run) then just before we leave, to come back early arvo (for return school run) the fish seem to come on.I was wondering if the change to incoming tide is more productive than outgoing? Or maybe just a coincidence.Colin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carps 1 Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 give the kids the day of to come with you then you can hit both tides and find out Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ranger 48 Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 I'd suggest to just worry about fishing the "turn" of the tide (incoming OR outgoing), especially when it coincides with dawn or dusk. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest undertaker Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 I tend to think that any turn of the tide is a good time to fish.You can catch fish at vitually "anytime",you just need to be a bit selective about where and what species you target......these "answers" all come with time and effort put in.

benny 1 Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 I fish all stages of the tide and still get good results, the trick is to find where the fish are at on certain stages of the tide, for example my favourite mulloway spot in the port is crap on the high and the low produces fish as they are congreated in a certain area as they hang around to eat the baitfish holed up. Another example is a couple of favourite drummer spots, one seems to produce only on low tide as they spread out once the tide is high, and the other is only fishable on the low as then the rock I stand on gets covered. High tide is good for all fish if you can find where they are feeding and can provide suitable depths for predators. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sideshow 0 Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 i reakon low tide is the best fishing because you then have the less water quantity, to find the fish in! it has produced 4 me over the years but then again so has high tide..thanx lloyd Quote Link to post Share on other sites
