Why this time?

Tide: 2h into the floodFish feed at particular stages of the tide, when moving water stirs up food and lets them into the shallows.
Light: DawnMany sea fish feed hardest at dawn, dusk and after dark, when they're bolder close in.
Tide size: NeapsBigger spring tides move more water, stirring up food and colouring the water. Some fish prefer quieter neaps.
Season: Peak season in OctoberCounts whichever fish here is most in season.
Wind: Light NNE 4 mphLight enough to fish comfortably, so it costs nothing.
Sea: Moderate (0.8 m waves)Not fussy about sea state unless it gets rough.
Water: Sea 16.4°CComfortable between 4 and 22°C, best around 11.91°C.
