Big Low tides

Post by Everydog »

It seems nice that these big low tides are lining up with the afternoons.
I may test one or two... hoping for low winds; waves are reasonable.
Any thoughts?

I'm a believer that you should try anything once. Fish those low tides and let us know how it goes!

Oh, I know it can work, including from experience. The mussel would catch, but I am thinking of plastics, which are more iffy. Maybe both.

I am definitely intrigued by the small waves and the low tide... in my head, its like pier fishing from the shore. You can the bait/lure WAY farther into the water than you ever would in normal conditions! I just typically only have morning availability to fish, and the extreme high tides can be a bit challenging down here.

I haven't made too much of high tide; sometimes pretty good with perch, croakers, corbina. Unusual luck seems possible with low tides and accessible structure, or with more species, such as black perch, Sargo, bass, halibut, and others. Someone more knowledgeable can counter or add to some of that. It depends on the area for sure.
