HELP
 

:confused: I don't understand a very important aspect to salt water fishing. Tide movement. Say there's 1.5 high tide at Hackberry at 6 am. When would be the time to fish prien area? Or same question on a low tide ?

In my limited experience I have found the tide predictions to be very unreliable. Maybe I don't check the right ones. I have found you have to be there when the tide is moving and I have found no way to know that other than being there. Maybe someone more knowledgable will weigh in here.

I would GUESS that a high tide peaking at 6am in Hackberry would peak in Prien about 11am give or take. A low tide peaking in Hackberry at 6am would maybe peak in Prien about 1am. A couple of hours before the peak is when the water is moving, the actual peak is when its done. Winds also affect tides and a high tide could have water going in one cut and out another cut, and visa/versa on a low tide. They are hard to figure and like the other guy said, the best way to know is to go and maybe keep a log of what youv'e seen in the past for future trips
