Beach Fishing

[autocad]

hi..just a quick question

planning a beach fish tomorrow.....but the tides arn't ideal.

low at 8am and high at 2pm.

would it be better to fish the morning or the high during the day. I'm after usual beach fish salmon, tailor, bream whiting.

thanks

Hi autocad. You always get more fishable hours in an afternoon session and a 2pm high is a good one to fish for six productive run out hours for predators and you should do ok fishing thru to the evening tide change about 8.30pm. Otherwise you only get a couple of hours of good fishing after an early wake up call and a daybreak start.

Cheers

hi autocad

give the beach a go at dawn especially at the ends of beaches where sand meets rocks

you will get a good run out with the ebbing tide salm on and tailor willbe hunting for baitfish in this channel

good luck hope this helps

Also depends on your target species is:

Whiting: high tide at any time of the day. can bite really well in bright and hot weather as long as there's a bit of wash.

Bream: high tide in the early morning, evening or at night

Salmon/Tailor: high tide in the early morning, evening or at night

Flathead: Runout tide in the early morning, evening or at night.

But there are always fish off the beach. If you don't have a line in the water then you won't catch 'em.

But there are always fish off the beach.

Unless you're fishing for jewies.

I swear something is wrong in my brain to spend the hours I do standing on a beach staring at the tip of my rod.
