Most of the spots I fish, I used the trial and error method to determine which stages of the tide were best. I am not talking about river mouths or breachways- more point and bowl water. Eventually I figure it out.

Is there some general rules that can be followed to cut down on the trial and error? Generally I find that a point fishes better in low outgoing or first incoming to get at deeper water. Some bowls or flats -high incoming. Sometimes there is no rhyme or reason and the opposite is true.

This is like the Phantom Beach article that was in On The Water question-when would you fish spot 6.

So based on structure or depth that I see on GeoGarage-are there best guesses?
