I'm afraid the above post is correct, you'll just have to head down to a spot you think will fish well and learn it. You could say it part of the fun. Although hours spent fishing useless spots wasn't much fun, then again I could have missed something. Certain marks seem to fish well for me others seem to go well for different anglers. Ask around most people will help out.

Hi

It depends what you are fishing for.

If its bass that you are after you need to focus your fishing on the spring tides. You get these tides twice in the month for about 4 days before and 4 days after both the new and full moons. Google moon phases to identify these periods and then look at your tide book for timings in your area.

There are other optimum times/tides but if you concentrate on these periods you will see your catch rates improve.
