Hi Wes, I used to go by the tides religiously once, But not anymore, I used to syke myself up so much when I thought I was going to clean up, I had the full run in tide to fish, I had fresh bait, the weather was perfect, I had the best spot on the pier, and you guessed it ZIPPO ! NIL ! NOTHING ! <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol' /> then I've gone other times with old bait thats been in the freezer for months, weather was lousy, pier was standing room only, and I bagged out ! GO FIGURE ! 
Now I go regardless of weather or tides, and you know what, I catch as many squid now as I did when I took great care of tides, weather, the moral here is Wes just go as many times as you possibly can, look at it this way, the more trips you put in the more chances you have, just look at how many trips all the good snapper fisherman put in through the season, and how many they catch as compared to the weekend worriors that just go every other week? something to think about <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol' /> regards Peter d.
