Every fisherman has their favourite tide. Mine is a run out tide. And I have a great reason for it.

I find the best tide for Barramundi Fishing is on a run out tide, when the baitfish that have been up small creeks, gutters and mudflats are forced to come out of their hiding spots.

If I want to fish with live bait, on a runout tide I will anchor out the front of a small creek or gutter. The live bait will simulate an injured fish that has come out of the creek. Barramundi and other fish will be sitting out the front of the creek waiting for their dinner to come out.
