Times of day and tide

[Matt Ireland]

Hi
What stages of tide and time of day are best for luring bream? I know it would vary but is there any basic rules. I guess different areas eg. tidal creeks, oyster racks, sand flats etc. would also fish better at different times so if there is any advice on that you can give me that would be good

Thanks for your advice
Matt

I prefer a rising tide early in the morning myself. I like the early morning cause generally there is less wind about.

Hi Matt,
We have found that is is much better in the mornings on any tide.

I have fished the afternoons as it's the only time I get during the week and still have not done any where near as well as we have done during the early starts on the weekends.

Tides aren't huge here, though I have found it better on the in coming tide.

HTH.

Yeah go for sunrise or as early as possible on any tide or if that doesnt happen go for a rising tide any time of day.

Matt,
To my knowledge you can get a fish any time of the day however dawn+ a few hours and Dusk + before and after are awsome times to go.
However, at a low tide like we have here or anywhere you will need to find a place where the water is deep enough to contain a food source eg mussels, barnacles etc.
I went with Richo and Craig to a spot that produces 10 to 15 fish a session usually, at low tide and got bugger all. I am talking a .26m tide, however when the tide is low say .46m the same spot we fished, the snags were in the water and the fish were on.
You do have to consider both, if it is low in the morning put it off till afternoon or go find a spot with a better low tide, I look at what both the Murray and the Swan are doing.
Yesterday the Swan was .29m at 8:30am, the Murray was .59m at the same time, hope that helps.
Regards Geoff
