i drop 4 nets with 4 different baits: salmon heads. macs. sardines. cod heads. cod heads are only $1.20/lb and it STINKS. whatever bait catches a bug.. i switch to that bait for the night.

as for tides... the genuine overall statistic... it doesnt matter.
personal preferance.. i like to go during a higher tide (doesnt matter if its incoming or outgoing). i try to fish close to breakwalls.. and the higher tide will let me drop nets over rocks while still being a bit further off the walls.

i've tried a morning and an evening crawl. i even did a 10hr session before. i can say the first few hours after the sunset.. and the 1hr before sunrise is best. the in between middle of the night is slowww.
