it used to mean a lot more than it does now.. i used to swear by the 2 hour mark before and after high.. after last year... i just means "find water deep enough"

actually that said.. at high i hit back waters and bays.. low i hit the open beaches. fish would much rather trap bait in small areas like rivers and harbors and what not. buuuuuuut... they still eat at low tide. i caught way more low tide fish last year than high tide fish. usually bigger too. i think it's because of a funnel effect.. at high tide there are so many nooks and crannies they can get into, making it hard to find em. low tide they all get forced out.. and swim ""aimlessly"" between those spots. i guess i like to think of low tide as the fishes rush hour. and high tide is their jobs/home time.
