Reading the tide for this mark
- Rising tide (flood): often brings fish closer in as the water covers new ground — many anglers target the last two hours of the flood.
- High water: useful for marks that are only accessible or safe to fish when the tide is up.
- Falling tide (ebb): can concentrate fish in gullies and deeper channels as the water drains off flatter ground.
- Low water: exposes structure, gullies and rock marks worth noting for next time, but check timings carefully around estuaries and soft sand.
