Unlike you we DO have tides! small ones are around 9.7mts, big ones about 13.0mts! so if you fish from the shore here you have to make sure that you are AT LEAST 13mts above the water when you start otherwise you get wet feet.

Tide runs at up to 5 knots, at mid water you have to be doing 8knots to go against it some displacement hull boats have difficulty in going against it, to hold bottom you often have to use a 6oz Breakaway lead!
