Does the tide affect mullet fishing?
Not really, though some marks may fish better at different stages of the tide, and you may have to adjust your tackle and tactics according to the state of the tide. As low water passes, and the tide begins to creep back over the mud, mullet can often be seen swimming and feeding in water barely deep enough to cover their backs, poking around the weed and rocks, and following the incoming tide upriver. Some marks will only hold water near to high-tide, some will fish best as the water recedes. Exploring your local environment, looking for spots that fish well at certain stages of the tide, and with the wind in certain directions, is all part of the interest. Knowing where to go will mean that you can confidently go mullet fishing whenever you have a couple of hours to spare, rather than bemoaning that the tide isnt right! Knowing a location well enough to predict how the mullet will react to the changing conditions can help tremendously. On some venues/tides, the same tactics will work
