re: Kayak fishing/redfish newbie question

Yeah that's a huge difference compared to here. We have a 2' swing on a big tide. I've read that the fish can get very predictable with that big of a tide. On high tide, you're supposed to get back up in the flats where the fish normally can't chase bait, on the low tide catch them gathering back in channels. I can't say though, because I've really never gotten to fish that. Here the ponds usually go from 8" of water on a low tide to 18" on high. I've yet to be able to pattern them where I fish. Again, I'm no expert.
