Light: DuskMany 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.
