when ??

[baitmaster]

ok this is really stupid and i think i know why but i,m going to ask it cause i might be assuming wrongly but i,m sure there are a few out there who will give the right advice to me (the sea fledgling )
now when fishing off the beach is always better to fish going up to high tide and down for a couple of hours
or is there times when fishing bottom of the tide and starting to come back in could pay dividends ?
also day time fishing is this normally poorer than fishing a night tide
is there any particular time that are better than others like a coming in tide at sunset /sunrise
also i know this will matter where you live but what winds in you own experience either during or just after a big blow has give you favourable catches .
again i,m trying to get a feel for the basics that i will need in my armoury as a starting point to get me going .

arround here over high is best for local beaches, but on some estuaries over low can be best, its very venue dependant though so if you can get local guys in tackle shop to spill beans then so much the better

here day after good blow can be good, bass, doggie huss
unless want makkie/gar and flatties then calm and clear is better

bass = v early or v late dont like big noisey beaches

sure others may give you ideas on your area

will look in topmarks book later for norfolk venues

Every mark fishes at some state of the tide Kev.
There are low water marks and high water marks and those marks that produce 2 hours down etc.
As pingu has mentioned its all about knowing your local beaches,best thing to do is get out for a walk and speak to people fishing.
