Hi there,
I'm a newbie and just wanted to ask (for some of you it will be) a silly question..Whens the best time to fish on a tide.I am about 20 minutes from Lake Ferry in the Wairarapa which is a petty good producer..thx

I would say high tide mate, if you can get their of course when the tides in.  My theory is that when the tides in, there is more water between them and the surface, and can lurk into the shallows more confident and feed on kina, and other molluscs and crustacians.

   Great thanks guys..Low tide it is for a try.I'll do a couple of hours either side to see what happens today (5Pm).Its pretty windy down there and you have to piuck your days LoL..

The lake produces some pretty good fish though, plenty of Kawahi,red cod, gurnard, doggies, snapper and salmon, oh and truck loads of crabs.

I have always gone down there hit and miss on tides etc and usually end up with something, but this time I thought I would just ask to see what everyone finds best with high or low tide.

Yeh sure is tidal.....You really need to pick your days though.No worries bout you contacting me for a weather update :>))

    Well that worked out well...Went down to the lake at 3 oopm Low tide was at 5.oopm...Ended up getting 13 good sized red cod between 4 and 6.30....Windy as anything, water dirty as.!!

    great thanks for the tips.....

I feel kind of lucky being so close, one of the perks of living out here I spose.

I always take a wire trace on the off chance of one coming around, but never needed it.There were seals out there on the weekend but they didnt seem to put any of the fish off.I herd they do??
