Also something worth considering is this. When you see for EG... high tide 14.25 that will mean that othat is when the ebb will start, not when the tide finishes rising. If you are going to go fish a mark that fishes best on the ebb, then you need to be there about 1.5hrs before. There will still be a certain amount of “slack” water and it gives you time to position yourself correctly and not miss the golden part of the ebb. That is normally about the first hour in the solent before the tide becomes so strong you need bigger leads to hold bottom.
