Timing

When to be on the deck

Moving water is what turns fish on. The hour either side of a tide change is usually worth more than the three hours of slack in between.

Solunar theory is a heuristic, not a measurement. It is worth using to pick between two otherwise equal mornings, and not worth much against a falling barometer or a moving tide. The pressure trend usually tells you more.
