4/8 deadsville - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Honestly, I don't know what tides are going to be best and exactly how pressure changes affect the local fish. I have only lived here a few years but my east coast experience and instincts tell me the fishing is almost always better with movement. Solunar fishing indexes make a lot of sense to me so you may want to look at them. I don't like to fish full moon but friday was just after a new moon so it should have been good had I gotten there earlier and under normal conditions. I think the cold night and front put the fish down. Also, this is especially noticeable in the northeast, just before a pressure drop there is usually a pre-frontal feed where the fish go nuts for a few hours. The fish know feeding conditions won't be good (bad visibility, dirty water messing with sense of smell etc...) and put on the feedbag to ride out the storm.
