i believe that most places are "tide specific",
as it relates to the necessary volume of water
available for our prey to predate. BIG FEESH require
just enuff water to hide and hunt and trap bait.
Certain spots are better at High, while other spots are unattainable.
The unreachables, and thier fortunes, become available at Low.
Tides, or water levels, imho relate most directly to the amount of structure that stripers can avail themsleves of to wait and predate thier forage in. Moons, current, forage, water temps, time of day/year, and the "highway" (as GCAB1 so aptly put it) are all contingent parts of the whole.
maybe we like to learn the tides and how they figure in, because they are one of the most predictable criterion and something we can read as we prepare for the surf ~separate from and before we read the water?? By knowing the tides we can choose the "right spot" that fits our fishing window for the "right time".
in my biggest producer, the bite is AWWWN or
off dependent on how much water is where and for how long. And it's usually a 4 hour window, not counting The Change. Also, i LOVE fishing thru The Change from about 0200+ ~~especially on a New and within the three lights of Striper Dawn.
just sum of my views, gents, carry on!
