we went last year and timed it where as soon as the sun went down we would gig till 11 or so form dead low with tide comming in. We gigged zero all year. all the reports i see, people are going early in the morning. is it better to wait until night time settles in?
I wouldn’t go by time of night, but by tide and water clarity. Don’t go during a full or new moon and pick a secluded spot with little boat traffic.
good luck.

go during the week on the out going tide within two hours of low and work it thru two hours of the change, right at the change take a rest as the tide change muddies the water for about 30 minutes
Local Boy, Just having fun.
2 hours before till 2 hours after low tide is the best. No rain is also good for water clarity. Go on nights that the wind is forecast to be less than 10 knots. Stay off of pluff mud, flounder don’t like it. Sand and shell seem to hold the most fish. Work those small side creeks that everyone goes right past…they hold fish!

Has anyone heard any good reports of gigging. Was thinking about giving it a shot friday night if the weather permits. I think high tides around 10pm so im guessing from what i read, I shouldn’t start till around midnight?? Thanks for all the advice and help.

If High tide is at 10PM, you want to go around 2AM till 6AM, 2 hours before and after LOW tide.
