The change in the fish behaviour directly correlates to the change in water temperatures you see here:

Hopefully you will get out there soon, Mike. In this water temperature, they are really fired up. So you should look forward to a good session when you do.

If a large morning tide occurs mainly before daylight, there is a higher incidence of Prawns in their guts. Prawns are primarily nocturnal. Although the YFW can access them buried in the sand where they hide during daylight hours and are occasionally disturbed out of hiding. Often by Stingrays. So it is not uncommon to see YFW close to feeding Stingrays. I have only caught one YFW on a Cranka Crab lure. I think I have to use them in the Crab habitat and not on the flats. The Sugapen 95 in Col-MB16 I feel mimics the prawns best. The Ecogear ZX43 blade mimics a disturbed fleeing prawn

ALWAYS !!! I gut my fish before leaving the water. This lot ... Haswell Crabs in the larger ones and Lug Worms in the smaller ones. The big morning tide ( in daylight ) would have given them plenty of access to the Samphire beds holding the Haswell crabs. Lug worms are abundant on the sandflats.
