Tide movements ? Fish movement?
 

Ok guys I only get to fish big lake a few times a year bc I live alittle over an hour away and I can't really seem to have any constant good days can away tell me how between the tide movements can I Maximize my fishing days , and I understand that it's fishing and nothing is a sure thing but which tides are the best on which structures , ( reefs , channel drops ext...) that y'all have found in general?

Wait a minute, I'm getting my popcorn and coke out for this one....Sledge, welcome to the inconsistent fisherman Club...I'm sure the guys on here will be glad to help you out. I sure can't.....

I just go fishing. When I don't catch just blame it on the tide.

Man really if u want to go right now it's pretty much everywhere any tide movement is good for reefs stop and get u a lake map from lake charles tackle and it shows common reefs good luck.

This has really helped me to figure out when's the best time to make a road trip. Granted there are other variables in the equation but I find it to be an extremely useful tool. There is an offset for BL give or take an hour. You can find a detailed explanion somewhere on the website or get the Magizine at Barns and Noble. Good mag, only fishing mag worth reading in my opinion.

Days in black indicate strongest tidal movement. Link provides time the tide is running above .3 knots.
