Change of tide High or low. Certainly darkness or light changes will fish better. You will catch during the day depending on target species, I've found it fishes better with a meter of breaking swell during the day for Snaps, but Kahawai and kingfish, trevally you can catch in most sea conditions. Best baits Pilchards,Anchovies,Mullet, but i have caught well on fresh Kahawai for bait, especially on Gurnards after dark, also Snaps. Have a set of bait flies, or a couple of chrome Kahawai spinners to keep you in a bait supply. Heading thru next weekend, hopefully the weather doesn't rain on the parade.
