Tide Question - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

steveooo · 11-18-2007, 05:24 PM

This is sort of a noob question but thats ok. I usually just fish when I get a break from teaching and don't really pay attention to the tides. What exactly am I looking for when I look at a tide chart? Big swing? Is it better to fish on the upswing or downswing? High tide or low tide? I know that asking this question 20 years after I started fishing is a little late to be asking this, but any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve
