I've been puttin some hours in on the water lately. Doin everything that has always gaught me fish before. Why is evryone else hittin it when I'm not.........I got out around 1300 so I could make bait and set up for high tide at 1600. After high tide , I was done so headed in around 1730 only to see everyone else headed out :?: . Why are guys going out after high tide has passed? I also see guys going super early when the tide is at slack. I usually fish the tide but am definitely not catchin the yellows on the yak. Take the boat out paddy hoppin ...Bang...Bang...Bang!!! Go high tide on the yak Nathin..... Does the tide even matter?????? Catchin the crap outa callies but lookin to get towed...Help!

Same here....no rhyme or reason. I think because the am high tides are only 3 ft and is not enough water movement to make much difference. It starts to improve in September with some 6 ft am highs.
