dodge tides

[Send-it]

Hi all fisho's.
well i've been out on several dodge tides now, and each time i've caught quite a few KGW.
yesterday we went out and got close to our limit in just a couple of hours.(again).
up untill now people have been telling me dont bother fishing on a dodge tide, but i do and still catch plenty.
anyone else out there that doesn't fish on dodge tides?

whats a dodge tide?

is that a term for slack water - bottom of the tide, top of the tide, run out, run in....?

every location is different though - if it works then fish it I reckon! eg. spinning for jew in a certain river system I know the jew make their way up river at certain times and then follow the falling tide back out - they will take up station at known points at different parts of the tide to ambush baitfish so I fish for them at different locations at different points of the tide - one of the best spots is 2-3hours after the high, one is right at the bottom of the tide and one at the top - all on the same river and for the same school of fish

when there is hardly any tidal movement forecasted for that day.

I'll fish any tide or time provided it is at night, I hate fishing during the day.
I generally fish any time after dark until dawn, so quite often get different levels of tide, tide changes, percentage of tidal flow, moon phase etc etc.
I started trying to read heaps more on it, factoring in moon phases, barometric pressure, tides and all that, but ended up giving up on it. Now I just go and fish, don't care what tide or anything.
Although I am starting to be more inclined not to bother on the full or new moon.
Not that I catch many fish though lol.
