A big tide has some short productive fishing windows.
You should go fishing to a fishing location with a productive fishing window at a proper time if you wish to catch a fish on lure.
In any case, whether you catch a fish or not depends on the state of the wind.
Today's tides were very big.

A good fisherman moves around to be in search of a short productive fishing window in his usual fishing locations at a very big tide.
I made a plan for fishing today.
First, I fish in an outgoing tide at Channel Island.
Second, I fish in an incoming tide at East Point.
Third, I fish at a high water at Mindil Beach.
I went to Channel Island to fish in an outgoing tide.
The state of the wind was ideal.
Barramundi won't take lures in a windless state in very shallows.
Barramundi won't take lures in a very noisy sound of wind.
They have just come back from their seasonal jelly-prawn trip.
A few jelly prawns appeared in the shallow water on mud flat.
I used a Squidgies Fish 70mm/Mint jelly with a 1/6oz jighead.
I reeled the fishing line slowly without any actions.
As a result, I caught 51cm and 50cm barramundi in a short productive fishing window at Channel Island.
