Hairy - you know how much I fish the Antrim Coast and I try to avoid a dropping tide where possible mate.

Others may disagree but I can only go on experience...

go to the north coast on dropping tides, the likes of downhill at night, around low water good for bass

even on the north east coast beaches they will produce fish on the dropping tide, its just a matter of varying your tactics to get them
Not the BigPhil from Irish Angler mag, I'm the original, i swear!!!!

I remember a meet away back that we were fishing a dropping tide ' East Strand', thinking it might be worth a throw
