I supose it depends on where and what you are fishing for.
If you are fishing and expecting to target fish that are waiting to feed in the shallows. yep
If you are fishing for whiting for example it is quite usual to pump yabbies on the low then fish the same area on foot as the tide comes up......I have been known to burley up the sand bank on the low...either with chicken pellets of by stamping in frozen burley cup cakes.
If there is a gutter or a shallow channel you might have just as much sucsess fishing it on the way up as the way down
Would tend to agree with Oldboot. It really depends on what you are chasing.
I always fish the flats on the run in. That way you can pump your bait, then walk the flats and see what ground and structure you are going to be fishing on. You can also see what gutters/channels are going to fill first and hopefully draw the fish in. I have also been quite successfully wading out and fishing back to shore. I have also caugh elbow slapper whiting in no deeper than 15cm of water.
If I am chasing barra, jacks, flatty's, etc then the outgoing tide works best.
I guess as a general observation, for fish that graze for food the flood tide works best, while those that ambush prefer the run out.
