FAQ

The best tide for fishing is usually the incoming (rising) tide or the outgoing (falling) tide. These tides create strong currents, which increase fish activity. You can track the best tides for fishing using the tide forecasts in the Fishing Points app.

Fishing at low tide can be challenging as fish may move to deeper waters. However, certain spots like channels or deeper pools can still hold fish. Use Fishing Points to find those optimal low tide fishing locations.

Fishing is generally better during high tide or when the tide is rising. High tide brings fish closer to shore and into feeding areas. The Fishing Points app helps you pinpoint the best times to fish based on tidal movements.
