gonna take my son to tidelands today and i was wondering what you guys think. is fishing the bay better at high tide or low tide?

Incoming tide is usually better however the best day I ever had was an outgoing tide. The time to fish is when you can get on the water. The fish have to eat all hours of the day it is your job to figure out where and how to catch them.

Basically at tidelands all you need is moving water.

Agree with the others, a moving current is more important than high/low tides.

I've only killed it on a high to a low tide. Outgoing seems to work for me.
