First, Courtmac is a tidel estuary so the date your coming down is needed.
If your down on slack tides you have a good chance of getting flounder, bass and maybe a gilthead bream in the estuary where your best bait will be crab.
Outside that you'll only fish the estuary on the top and bottom of the tide.
There are good rock marks near where pollack, wrasse, dogs and huss hang around.
A post nearer the date will get a better response.

Mon: l.w. 15.45.......0.6
Tue: l.w. 15.20......0.8
Wed: l.w. 16.00......1.0
Thur: l.w. 16.45......1.2
Fri: l.w. 17.40......1.4
Sat: l.w. 18.50......1.3
tide times are approx.
The slacker tides at the end of the week will be best for fising the estuary.
