What do fish do in low tide?
During low tides, sight-casters should look for spots that trap or concentrate bait. If you can locate areas where baitfish and shrimp are forced through a specific path on an outgoing tide, game fish wait in these ambush spots. Time it right, and you can catch a bunch of fish in one spot quickly.
Why are no fish biting?
Your leader could be too heavy given the water clarity or conditions and it may be visible to the fish. Try downsizing your leader to a lighter weight, and then see if you start getting a few bites. Downsize your hooks. You may also want to try downsizing the size of your hooks and bait if you aren’t getting any bites.
