Moosh- Though we've caught them at all times of the tide, they seem to bite best around slack and just before and after slack. I know plenty of people that spearfish for them and they've told me that they definitely get out of their lairs in the rocks and move around to feed more during slower water. The gnarlier the rocks, the better. If you're not losing gear, you're probably not in the right place! Green Crabs work well, of course. Fiddler Crab are absolutely automatic and Seaworms work well. If there's a lot of Cunners, Scup, and Seabass around, they usually beat the 'Tog to the worms, however. You'll get a better worm bite this time of year since the reefs aren't as heavily populated with other fish yet.
