@CoastalGX2 ай бұрын
There are some fishing apps that show you when to expect the low and high tides. It’s never the same. However, the biggest impact is the weather. A high tide and a strong cold front is a definite no for me. Lol

I was going down to big shell one morning on a turn and burn lure day trip and I pulled up on these two guys in their bathing suits holding beers at 7am about 30 miles from the 4x4 sign and they jumped into the middle of the high road (high tide) so the sand was soft and I wasn't trying to stop but I did have most of the recovery stuff and my tire pressure lowered so I stopped in the middle of the road and these guys were wasted and acting weird. I thought they had some major mechanical issue or they were stuck in the soft sand. They asked me do you have cables, LOL! I was like you fuckers came down here on an overnight without a jumper box? Anyways they didn't have fishing poles so IDK WTF they were doing lol. I helped them out and caught some jacks and reds, funny addition is about 20 miles out from SA my gauges and radio all shut off and the next morning my truck had to be jumped! Had to get an alternator the next day after going down PINS so it can happen to anyone, so be prepared with medical, recovery, mechanical, security, etc. Keep up the good work GX!
