Wanting to go out for my first time but dont know which tide most prefer. Thinking about heading out 5am this Friday to hit the incoming tide but not sure.
Thanks

For newbies I recommend the incoming so you can scope out the area at low…
much less chance of getting stuck someplace. Two years ago one of or buds got a new nickname…
“Sand Dollar”…high and dry on a bar in mid Bulls bay 2 hours before dead low…
they did catch a few shrimp from the beach…
I’ve always heard the incoming was best. You would think out in Bulls Bay or St. Helena sound the out going would be best just because of the water being more muddy.

The direction of the tide is not as important as the fact that the water is actually moving. I like to shrimp where the water is dropping off into deeper water close by. I want the flow going from my poles to the deep water. I think this takes the scent of the bait into the hole where I think the shrimp like to hang out.
Just my 2 cents,

Midway on high or low tide with the water moving good. It also really helps if the water is muddy. We have been catching them in Bulls Bay, but size is mixed.
They seem to be a bit skittish in the daytime right now is that what everyone else is seeing?
