spring tides

#1 Post by fishermannum1 »

right everyone i would like to know what you think about fishing spring tides, i for one don't like them. example;- i always fish an incoming tide, "except for fahan and an other few marks i fish for ray witch is better fished at low water" i can catch trout hand over fist on my local estuary, but on a spring tide there's nothing, not even a bite :roll: its the same story on beaches and piers, has anyone else experienced this????? its got to the stage that i wont even go fishing if there is a spring tide. even at my local spot fahan, i find it useless on a springer at low water. would be grateful for any comments or opinions on this.
Cheer's in advance.
as ole rab c said " see me' see the sea' i love the sea me"
right i'am off for a swally!!!!!!! so were's the F***'n purse!!!!!!!

very dissapointed with the results of big tides over the last few months but the weather has always kicked up here in Wexford around the same period so what can you do...
