"Understanding tides is crucial." That's an understatement this weekend! Tides ripping in NJ at ONE FOOT PER HOUR yesterday with the king tide making its presence known. Thanks for the video! Typical differential is 3-4 feet, depending on location. Yesterday, it was 6 feet at Manasquan inlet; low was 1 foot below mean low and high was 5 above mean low!
Excellent video! I, for one, have been mediocrally, occasionally, attempting to figure out what natural mechanism of nature actually makes our Galveston, Third Coast area tides switch over from a two tides per day schedule to a four tide per day schedule. Is it purely the moon phase only? I am extremely (extremely!!!!!) curious to learn why. And I’ve yet to find the source. I’ve been noticing it ever since I re-began fishing, again. And have frequented the free online tide charts of for the area. And although I do not understand how it affects the fishing chances, I am pretty sure that it does. Again at any rate, great short tutorial video!
Can't go by such. Taking care of 94 year old dad. So my kayak fishing time is limited from sunup/first light until 8:30am. Gotta get home by 9:30 from la Jolla california.

Hi Luke, I'm just curious to know that if I could couple up my 65lbs braid (mainline) with a 130lbs mono leader line? Should I go ahead with the FG Knot and should I put on a layer of mono before spooling the braid and the leader ? Many thanks!!!
I’m trying to learn how to read the Buoyweather app, it says today NW winds 5 to 7 knots, slight chop small long periods waves, Seas 1.2 meters at 18 seconds ( if I’m fishing on a boat does that mean the boat will get hit with a wave 1.2 meters every 18 seconds? I imagine the that less chances of getting sea sick ? Vs every 6 seconds? Is this right?

Great video brother man and greetings from deep South Texas keep them lines tight fishing family.
Answered my question👏
I live in Savannah GA. Our tide swing for the next couple of days is right at 10 feet. That’s a lot of water moving.
this is a fantastic explanation and I finally understand tide tables, thank you!
Thank you for watching! We are glad it helped!
Can you explain a falling tide. I was to to fish from high tide through to low tide?
Thanks Luke. This was very helpful!

Thanks! Hope it was helpful!
Great explanation. Thank you very much
You are welcome!
Is the tide normally the same in each part of the world or do I need tide charts for my specific area!
Each area will be different! You need to use your local tide stations and data to get an accurate reading of the tides in your area!!

So the high tide would be at the inlet and the ocean? And the intracoastal would be low tide at that point?

Thanks for vid but wanted a more in depth chart I was wondering the best times I just think it’s moving but I’d like to know more
Thanks for watching!
Hi Luke, what app do you use for tides?
Hello, is there a radio station i can listen to daily regarding tides and ocean/storm alerts ??
We have Smart Fishing Tides available to our members, that has all of that information.
