Everyone has their opinions and I don't want to start any trouble- this is a good discussion though.

Yes I would favor the last hour into slack than the full running tide. Large fish will hold and wait for food behind structure - they are attracted to some places more than others. Hooking a large fish during a running tide - like in the canal is tough! Most huge fish are taken there when the water is barely moving.

This whole convo applies to inlet/rivers/canals (with strong current)and is totally different than a rocky shoreline or beach. I'm also commenting on large fish - 40#s and up. This has worked best for me, just sharing my experience.
