Why this time?

Tide: 3h into the floodFish feed at particular stages of the tide, when moving water stirs up food and lets them into the shallows.
Light: DarkMany sea fish feed hardest at dawn, dusk and after dark, when they're bolder close in.
Moon: Part moonOn dark nights many fish feed more confidently close in. A bright moon can put them off.
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: Fresh NE 21 mphStrong wind makes it harder to fish and to spot bites.
Sea: Moderate (0.8 m waves)Not fussy about sea state unless it gets rough.
Water: Sea 17.2°CComfortable between 4 and 24°C, best around 12.47°C.
