One of the general practices for wading here is to fish the change of the
tide. My experience is that slack tides are down periods. The period just
before and just after a high tide seem productive if you can hit them.

I also try to go at low tides and look for large fish in holding pools and
in channels that hold water at low tide. Our tidal change is only about
2 -3 feet on this coast but even so, it is important to avoid being trapped
by rising water. I tend to limit my wading to about waist deep even in high
tide periods. It is far too easy to step into a hole.

Another benefit to low tides and falling tides is that the larger
predators, the ones that can make a meal of us, are further away in deeper
water or are more easily seen if they are present.

Can you ask the local folks when they recommend?
