Hi Everyone:
Heading to Nootka on Aug 9 for one week. Been doing a lot of research. This site has been great so far. Can experienced fishers give me an idea on how tides effect the inside fishery.
Obviously fishing mornings and tides changes are best. However, what trolling direction is best on a ebb tide? Should I be trolling with the tide toward the open ocean? How about on an incoming tide? Is it best to start fishing at the opening of the inlet and intercept fish as they enter the sound?
The second week in Aug has big tide swings with a morning low tide. I think this is not good as light tides with am high tide would be best. Any thoughts?
I am asking these questions as other areas I fish, trolling direction and tides are critical. Hopefully by Aug there will be so many fish that I won't have to worry too much. Thanks for all the info this site offers.
