Rockin' n Rollin on Mistress out of the Tyne!

[Kartonkel]

The forecast looks ok for wed
gusts to 30 mph south easterly with a 5.6 tide

Wind and weather you never know, but why doing a charter when the tides are awful. You can look it up well in advance.

There might be a 2-3 hours window on Wednesday around slack where the lead hits the ground

Big tides are ok as long you have good clarity the wrecks out on the 20 mile fish far better on big tides say 5.5 even 6.0 tides can fish very well as the tide at that distance isnt as strong as say 5 mile from the shore its all down to clear water the inshore grounds and wrecks fished very well before last big blow the water is now greenly colured and the herrings have also sponsored between 4- 5mile stream and the cod are gorgeing on them i am finding now you need to be off further to get decent clarity and also to get well away from the herring spawn if the cod is on that you have no chance another couple of weeks and the spawn will have gone plus if we get some settled weather and water clears the wrecks inshore will come alive once again.

You should write a book, Paul
I would buy it.
I go with a skipper in Cape Town who has the same "scientific" approach...guess what...he is the most successful
He looks for water temperatures, tides, seabirds etc
And he happily shares his knowledge

What are good tides/conditions for uptiding?
