Just have to be in the right spot when tide starts. I like to be in one of my favorite holes at the beginning of either outgoing or incoming tides. Most of the time I will wait for it before leaving a spot if I know or think fish are there. If tide are big and strong like around the fullmoon I like to fish certain spots at the end of a tide. One thing is for sure! No tide usually means no fish for me. Fishing as much as I have been lately I don't run around near as much. This us mostly just to save fuel but having the Patience to wait for this tide to start or switch has been paying off big time. Example this am when I got there tide was going out of turners and I caught fish all the way up til it stopped. I think I caught one trout during slack tide which wasn't long and as soon as it switched coming in I started catching fish again one after another. All year I've watched boats come and go rather quickly while I'm catching fish. I will say the biggeset difference I noitice on the boats that come and go don't have live bait or they come in with live shrimp and catch a few Dink's and leave. I waived a guide boat in this am and he got just close enough to see what I was catching and trolled back out to the birds. I guess they were after trout and not reds. Reds and trout have been mixed for me. Only ea few trout today though.
