Why this time?

Light: DuskMany sea fish feed hardest at dawn, dusk and after dark, when they're bolder close in.
Tide size: Mid tidesBigger 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 11 mphLight enough to fish comfortably, so it costs nothing.
Sea: Slight (0.6 m waves)Not fussy about sea state unless it gets rough.
Water: Sea 13.9°CComfortable between 4 and 22°C, best around 11.62°C.
