hm...makes sense. at least i know some places landbased are better near low tide where it is deep enough to hold fish. I don't know about open areas like the gulf tho, any one has any experience fishing there with the bite times?]]> Fri, 18 Jan 2013 13:10:49 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=87125&PID=1244516&title=lethal#1244516 <![CDATA[Lethal : Lethal wrote:hi Andy, think...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=87125&PID=1244481&title=lethal#1244481 Author: Skoti

Hmmm this may well be the reason I have alot of luck at low tide in the Manukau harbor , probably wouldn't apply to "open" areas such as the gulf though Wink

the moon phase is what predicts the bite time Andy,
3hrs before it rises, and 3hrs before it sets,
the other is moon and sun aline above and below or together this is a shorter bite time but a goodie...
considering the moon dictates how the tide flows it also has a lot to do with how the fish feed...
moon and sun together make for larger tides and this also influences the spring tides...

usually there will be two bite times..With the Major bite time being around the lowtide and the Minor bite time around the high tide. 

There is way too many things to take into consideration for it to always be 100% accurate. And like you said, a lack of water for a landbased person can be a huge one.

You may fish a spot at hightide during the day and do rather well and find the lowtide is dead. Change the time of day,switch the sun off and Lowtide might come alive. 

The bite times are just indicators that take a number of major contributing factors into account. I use them for picking days that would be generally better than others. But a lot of the time i just go out when i can, and target dawn/dusk for snapper off the rocks.. and low/high tide for kings.

If you start keeping a log book, that may start to show some patterns of your own. Especially if you fish a few spots on a regular basis.

Is Lethal the member who invented the "Lethal Fishing Bite Times" ???
If yes, why is that most "best" times are around or near low tide? Is there a difference for boat fishing times and landbased times (as for some area landbased, the water is so shallow at a low tide that there is basically no water left to fish).
 
So if I am landbased, I couldn't really make use of the "best" times as suggested?
 
I found a couple of other "best fishing times" sites too, they all pretty much had the similar bite times, being that of an hour or two before or after low tide. And so I wondered why fishing is not optimal when it's just before and after high tide (at least this is what the charts seem to suggest).
 
Any ideas welcome. Have anyone tried those bite times?
