Cracking summary. It would be fantastic to do another video to expand on the points of best times to fish for certain species or how pressure affects fishing please 🙏
Excellent video, you explain tides very clearly and concisely. A little thing that I find useful is the rule of 12th's. It is a simple and practical translation of the sine wave for the less scientifically minded of us. Basically, on the approximately 12 hour cycle of tides, the first hour after low, the tide rises roughly one 12th of its range; the second hour, two twelfths; the third and fourth hour, three twelfths each; the fifth hour two twelfths and the sixth hour, one twelfths again. This is then repeated on the ebb. With channels between the mainland and a large island, such as the Menai Straight and the Solent/Southampton water, as you mentioned in the video, the flood is from the west first and, as the tide runs around the far side of the island, a second flood from the east starts, so the rule is less precise because of the double tide effect.
Great point there! That’s a really good way of envisioning the strength of the tide at any point in the cycle. Very useful to apply to areas where the tide follows that normal curve. Thanks for that! 👍
@@HookpointFishingMagazine seriously cool! There’s a couple of spots here that would be really good to fish with a double shot of high tides. My friend Rob that I fished with in Jersey a lot now lives in Southampton so il have to get him to give it a try.
I don’t know what effect it has on the fishing there, I’ve not fished that way myself. The ebb must be a proper handful though, unfishable at times I expect 😬
@@HookpointFishingMagazine In Southampton the the local beach is Weston Shore, There is no tide run worth mentioning even on the biggest tides, I've never needed to use grip leads there
Thats really interesting - I’m surprised at that! Like I said though, I’ve not fished there before, I used the example of Southampton as it’s a classic case for explaining double high tides as the effect is so pronounced there. Thanks for commenting, appreciate the clarification 👍

Glad you liked the video Greg and excellent suggestions! 😁
Very good 👍👍👍
Thanks Jess.
Very informative Ben, plenty for the new angler to think about packed in to those five minutes!
Cheers Jansen! 👍

Excellent idea for a video, Ben, learned heaps, thanks!
You’re welcome mate, glad you found it informative! I learned a bit doing it 😄
Always an epic watch, keep them coming guys!
Thanks Will! 👍
this channel is incredible
Thanks for the awesome feedback! 🙏
Nice one Ben.. That’s really interesting about the Southampton double highs!
Cheers Sam, cool isn’t it! 😄 Ben
