Fish Species behaviour towards wind/tides/swells etc
Just wondering if there's any info on ebooks or books on how the feeding habits of certain species is effected by weather, tides, and wind direction?

[quote="yngkmd"]this is just gonna turn into yet another Bass thread [/quote Here goes as expected 
One of my favourite bass marks tends to only work an hour or two after high water on a big tide with a cross shore wind. Swell/surf seem to have less of an influence as it is an estuary mark.

Re: Fish Species behaviour towards wind/tides/swells etc
didn't realise i opening a can of worms on this. I did on purpose not mention bass in particular though in the title... I think the more opinions the better to be honest. every angler i meet has there own way of looking at it, and it would be great to hear them, and useful for everyone to learn from others expriences.
would be useful for picking marks on a map say to target bass, codling, smoothies, Tope, ray, gunard, and flounder.
Personaly i'd fish anywhere from skerries to rosslare but it takes me so long to decide on a mark;
If theres a NW on a spring neap tide what kind of beach direction, dept should i be looking for on a map
if theres a SW/SE wind with a swell again what should i be looking for on a map. north facing beach, east or south?
How does the weather effect your decision making on which mark to visit?
