Outside of lure color, the single most debated topic among tidal water anglers is the tidal condition, which is most productive. The arguments cover the entire spectrum-high, low, rising, and falling. The fact is, they are all good times to fish. But, once the angler learns to effectively read tidal topography and moving tidal currents, the 'finding' aspect will become reasonably easy, too. Selecting tidal water lures means paying attention to the primary factors of depth and speed, while also matching them to the type of cover being fished to preclude snagging and tangling.
Smaller lures are more productive in the colder months.
