Ok so flogging a dead horse aside.

ok so SUEPR MOON apparently doesnt change the tides much I am just to hear what if anything spearos notice different about this weekend. Im not saying that it will be I dont know but would be interested to hear back from people. Maybe if there is a super low tide I can fianlly attempt some weedlines haha.

But seriously do people think there be anything different going on below the surface.

Bottom of the tide and first two hours of incoming best for kings off the bricks. Never known why this is but is. Maybe less water colomn to push baitfish up against the ledge? Don't know. But if you want to shoot a kingie close to shore be in the water at low tide.]]> Fri, 09 Dec 2011 10:25:35 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=73158&PID=1042858&title=solunar-theory-questions#1042858 <![CDATA[Solunar Theory questions : There's a channel in Kaikoura...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=73158&PID=1042849&title=solunar-theory-questions#1042849 Author: Gareth27934

There's a channel in Kaikoura that I swim through at the seal colony just before dead low tide. If you try it on the incoming tide then the water gets dirty through it but just before slack tide it runs nice and clear. This lets me sneak up behind quite a few fish and has a lot of other fish going past me as the fish use it to transit from the north side to the south side on the colony.]]> Fri, 09 Dec 2011 10:10:25 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=73158&PID=1042849&title=solunar-theory-questions#1042849 <![CDATA[Solunar Theory questions : Was going to swing by for a beer...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=73158&PID=1042846&title=solunar-theory-questions#1042846 Author: Gundry

You need to turn up with beer then.

ps as much as calling it an art appeals it's not. It is simple. Where there is current there be fishies, where there is no current there be none.

You need to teach me the art of deciding where is better on what tides locally MJL getting an idea in certain places I have been 2 at different times but there so many others that I think im picking the best conditions but Often im not

Every spot works better on different tides and current angles. For example if I'm going for a local shorey I'll go to one spot if its incoming and another if its outgoing.

Why not the outgoing Dobo?

Most good fish i've caught on stick have been on the incoming tide, you're going to get fish on the outgoing tide for sure but my theory is that the incoming tide brings in better "fresh food" especially in the Marlborough sounds where I do most my fishing/diving. If you think about the outgoing tide in the sounds it's bringing what's left of the food from incoming back out, but surely it's not as good?

Does anyone know how many times a snapper needs to feed to sustain itself? Wouldn't suprise me if they only had to feed every other tide providing there was heaps of feed for them.. feed on the incoming/ skip outgoing then feed on incoming again? Just a theory from what i've observed but i'm probably wayyyyyyy of the mark!

I've never paid attention to the moon before whilst spearing but It makes perfect sense to me that if the fishing is good for the stickker then it's gotta be good for the spearos..although the current might be hard work!

Mullins, didn't you say something on current not being such a big deal with our local species?
I might of got stories mixed up.

Don't think that was me. But I've been watching the 'hou, telescopes, sweep and butterfly perch on Hunters recently and they seem to feed for a short time a little while after the start of the tide. At slack they mill around, then once the current starts properly they sit up off the reef for about half an hour feeding (got some videos of telescopes sucking stuff in). When the current really picks up the reefies hunker back down onto the reef and the larger pelagics keep going.

Of course that's just the midwater feeders. I've watched schools of tarakihi and moki over the change of tide and they seemed to do all their feeding while it was still. Once the current started up they were back in formation.

So yeah, umm, fish like current and stuff.
