Fishing How to - Understanding Tidal Coefficient, Barometric Pressure & Solunar!

Here is a great fishing how to video that gives insight on tidal coefficient, barometric pressure & solunar phases. Knowledge is power and the more that you know about these things the better you can plan your fishing excursions. I personally utilize the tool or webpage: tides4fishing.com
This is a great FREE website that will allow you to do your reconnaissance for planning your next fishing trip. Here is a brief synopsis of what I cover in the video:
I discuss tidal coefficients, which tell us the amplitude of the tide. (Difference in high tides and low). It also helps gauge how fast the water will be coming in or going out. Even though coefficients are the same for the entire planet, the amplitude is quite different depending on what region of the world you are in.
I also discuss barometric pressure and how the rising and falling effect the fishing. Barometric pressure is defined as the weight or mass of an entire air column on a unit if surface area at sea level. Fish sense pressure changes through their air bladder. The fish that have smaller air bladders such as wahoo, dolphins and kings for example aren’t effected as much as the species with larger air bladders: trout, redfish, tarpon etc… Reason being is because fish that have smaller air bladders have a body density that’s closer to the surrounding water; therefore they can’t sense the change as much. Fish with larger bladders can sense rapid drops in pressure and they can feel it too. When their bladder expands fish become uncomfortable and may move to deeper water, the last thing on their mind is eating at this point.
Lastly I discuss the solunar moon phases and their importance when fishing. Using moon tables you can find when the moon is directly underfoot or overhead. The peak feeding times tend to correspond around new and full moons, you also notice healthier tides. Understanding Major and minor moon phases can really increase your odds of catching more fish.

[@redladyfish4201]

Excellent video , I have been waiting for someone to explain this sciency topic of solunar and barometric pressure and how it affects fish, very well explained.👍👍👍

[@Saltyscales]

Thank you Red lady fish, glad I could help.

[@fishinjunkee1701]

Joshua Taylor If high or low tide is at night do redfish or trout feed then ? Or is it a good time to fish ?

[@steveheathcock6843]

I like that,”The best time to go fishing is when you can”. Totally go by that philosophy. Well said.

[@Saltyscales]

Absolutely

[@hoopsheavenpa]

I like to go fishing when the water is wet.

[@ricksonora6656]

Getting skunked all the time makes me grouchy and depressed, so I beg to differ.

[@Huggz13]

I know this is an older one but I had to comment. Great video! I use the exact same website...many times daily actually. I focus primarily on pressure, tides, and lunar transit/opposing lunar transit. (I don’t focus on moon phases so much until we approach full moon). If you can fish a situation with all of these occurring at the same time - rising pressure, the two hour window of peak high tide, lunar or opposing lunar transit, and low light conditions.... grab your gear because it’s on!! If you can catch all that on the day of the month with the full moon, then call in sick to work because it’s going to be epic!! I hope your others viewers are doing the same because it certainly makes a difference MOST of the time.

[@callsignkillerb2u214]

At my age, gas and lack of bladder pressure are par for the course 🎣

[@zcastedo]

Thanks for sharing this awesome resource, man! I'm new to fishing and I'm interested in learning as much about the basic strategies of when/where to fish, so I'll definitely be checking out this site.

[@KUPZ29]

You just gave me one of the most important tools I can use to go fishing. Thank you.....

[@Saltyscales]

You're welcome

[@Jqbigrig]

probably the best explanation I've come across to date! Thanks for the info!

[@Saltyscales]

I appreciate that Johnny and you're welcome!

[@tomasjrvillanueva9008]

Thank Josh, very educational and very informative. I will study this and try it.

[@KwandoRay]

Capt. Taylor, thanks for all the knowledge, I'm surely going to use it! Be well, Ray

[@Saltyscales]

You're welcome, thanks for watching.

[@miltonscornertobylove5068]

Man no wonder jeee, I never knew such thing THANKYOU ! that explain, you have change my way of fishing 🎣 🤔😲

[@TheTravelingFisherman]

What a great site!! Another great informative video buddy! Thanks again for the info!

[@Saltyscales]

Thanks for the comment and you're welcome!

[@verasuncion3956]

Awesome Video.....Now I am beginning to understand Tides, Moon Phase, Pressure, etc....Tnx.

[@jshall1000]

Great video. Ive been trying to understand flood ebb and slack current. But im getting confused wben i see slack water is sometime in between the high or low tide. How can slack current be before high or low. Thanks for great video

[@jameshickey9393]

I use this site but thank you for explaining all the tools here that we can use.

[@-HustleUnion-]

best site for tides that I've found

[@stevenorman3405]

Great video josh, thanks for sharing

[@Saltyscales]

Thanks Steve, you are welcome!

[@joeanthony9162]

Capt. T, bro I always look up this app before going fishing. Down here in the Galveston area, this app really helps, especially at the jetties and the peninsula areas, such as clearlake and Seabrook area ( where I usually fish). Your absolutely right, the app works well. Thanks for the info, Tight lines never stop! Can't wait for the next vid from you, my friend!

[@Saltyscales]

Thanks Joe and I appreciate the positive vibes, sorry about the delayed response.

[@JoshStreeter]

Been using TidesforFishing for almost a year now. Tonight I learned more from this video than I have in that last year. I had the data, but didn't know how it all worked together. Big thanks! BTW, the snook bite was insane under the bridges in S. St Pete tonight. Following the chart, I'm heading back out shortly!

[@Saltyscales]

Great to hear and sorry for the delayed response.

[@bcbaber]

Great info! Thank you so much. What is the closest tide location you have to Panama City, FL that would be in Central Time Zone?

[@jimdrechsel3611]

Awesome video that talks about so many questions I have had. Josh I have heard that morning fishing after a full moon is typically very poor because fish have fed all night. Has this been your experience? Are there fish that prefer outgoing tides as opposed to incoming? I have fished tarpon outgoing with luck because of crab washing out a pass. Would that happen say king fish outside the bay? What is the worst wind conditions for rough water to avoid going out into the gulf? I have to watch this at least four more times. The explanation for barometric pressure was very informative and will check out the website. Thank you.

[@caperjim]

Thanks for the video. In my area the major periods seem to be always low tide. Minor periods are always high tide.

[@Saltyscales]

You can still catch them you just have to find those deeper pockets that hold the fish. It can be a little more challenging and you need the right vessel.

[@derekmiguel2012]

Great info, awesome video keep up the good work.

[@Saltyscales]

Thanks Derek, I appreciate it.

[@zlm2032]

Great info!

[@jgoodman7264]

Hey Josh just subscribed, great video and very informative thanks!

[@Saltyscales]

Thanks and welcome!

[@bigo8192]

I learned a lot from this. It sounded well thought out and the explanations were easy for me to follow. I'll check that site. Thanks this helped this "Tide Dummy"! The pressure explanation was awesome bro, I never knew that.

[@Saltyscales]

No problem Big O. Glad I could help and clarify a few things.

[@kaoskode]

Great video.

[@brianhughes4309]

Excellent video thanks man!

[@Saltyscales]

Glad it helped!

[@cheito72588]

Hey Josh I do like the information keep up the vids.

[@Saltyscales]

Will do and thanks for stopping in Jose.

[@LittleBJT]

Great explanation of this website. I use this site all the time down here on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi. Like you said, there are days that say it will be crappy for fishing, but it ended up being a great day. However, more often than not, it does help with planning out more productive days. Heck, it's a free tool, why not use it.

[@Saltyscales]

Absolutely Brian, it's free and very helpful. Thanks for the comment.

[@mikehamm007]

Great video and explanation!

[@Saltyscales]

Thank you Michael, I appreciate the comment.

[@hikiula]

Where/how to you find tide current speeds? Good video, well done!

[@Jonathan-jo2xu]

So does that mean that you should fish greater depths when the barometric pressure is at that point?

[@pjorgerod522]

Hello, first thanks for sharing. I begin this year to surfcasting and i am very focus in reading beach structure. Can you advise any book ou source of information to go deeply in this subject? Thanks in advance. Paul

[@jiangtao3704]

very professional, I like it.

[@Saltyscales]

Thank you

[@junderhillmac]

Thanks for the info on this website. Very useful. Do you fish the Big Bend area around Shell Point?

[@Saltyscales]

Hey Jim, I fish from the UTB all the way down to Fort Desoto. Thanks for watching.

[@zz-np2sr]

My question - when there is a low tide coefficient (when the difference between high and low tide is small with less currents) is it better to fish rivers/river mouths or in the deep pockets of ocean such as jetties?I suspect rivers are good then because there is less mud kicked up but I only speculate.Any experienced thoughts?

[@thomaswillie246]

Great video Tator Bug

[@rubenrodrigues7903]

I didnt fully understand, if its incresing/rising affect fish and they are less active etc but you mentioned that the rise was a good for fishing is this correct?

[@joebrallierfishing8445]

thank you for explaining this. bring raised in Kansas the tires is foreign to me

[@Saltyscales]

You're welcome Joe, I know it can be confusing to many.

[@salvadorcisneros]

Sounds good my brotha... honestly brother I want to be as good as you.. I want to learn all your tips and tricks and also learn how to read the waters and what lures and soft baits to use so I can become a great angler I've tried to study my waters and I can't seem to get it right thanks and God Bless

[@Saltyscales]

Keep at it, if you are persistent and log your trips you will get it and then you will think it's very easy.

[@kaichen9368]

nice information. definitely learned a lot. I will say that this video is 70% of the success. the other 30% depends on you to learn your fishing spots. Different areas might have different feeding times just because of its geographical composition. I wish you would also touch on the moon phase how it affects the tide strength.. thanks a lot bud

[@Saltyscales]

Hey Mario, you are absolutely right. No matter how much we learn at the keyboard, nothing beats being there.

[@piratesailors4228]

How accurate is this website site regarding the fish activity part?

[@grantfoster9099]

i use this site all the time thanks joshua!! This will help me on the back bay fishing the reefs!!

[@Saltyscales]

You're welcome Grant, thanks for the comment.

[@ryankiernan9995]

Great explanation. When is the next livestream gonna happen?

[@Saltyscales]

Hey Ryan, it was scheduled for today but I may need try tomorrow.

[@HolyPlague1]

Thanks man free and reliable are a plus. Unfortunately with my schedule picking the best day sometimes isn't in the plan

[@Saltyscales]

I hear you there, sometimes you just have to go.

[@salvadorcisneros]

What is the best time to go stripe bass fishing and what's the best lures or bait to use what works best for you thanks josh

[@Saltyscales]

Are you asking for down in Florida or up north?

[@longobardilounge8238]

I use the same site! Even if I don't get the fish I like everytime,but, this is pretty much 85pct to 100pct accurate on my use of this site before I go fishing

[@Saltyscales]

Great site with lots of information.

[@rickfine822]

Joshua, thank you for this; youre a good teacher!.......I tried to find the chart that you put up on your video.....Tides for Fishing.com and typed in my zipcode, it did not come up as you showed, if you would please tell me again. thank you, Rick

[@Saltyscales]

I appreciate that Rick, just go to www.tides4fishing.com and pick your location, then narrow it down to your exact location.

[@autoozero2131]

THAT IS THE BEST SITE

[@Saltyscales]

They did a great job with the website, a great service to us outdoorsmen.

[@KeithMK]

This might sound dumb, Is this info page your talking about just for salt water? with the tide stuff & other it seems like its geared for salt water fishing. I fish fresh water.

[@Saltyscales]

There is never a stupid question, the tides apply to saltwater but also brackish water as well. The moon, wind etc... Applys to all fishing.

[@Poppabill48]

Question.... I fish the south Skyway pier and always do better in the mornings on an out going tide. Any idea why this is.

[@Saltyscales]

If you fish the right areas on the incoming using the correct technique, you can be just as effective. Especially on the first hour of the transition.

[@Poppabill48]

OK but if I'm successful at a location, using what appears to be the correct technique, on an out going tide and the when the tide switches and I catch nothing, can't that mean the movement of the tide has something to do with the success? If you or any one else has an answer I'd like to hear it. Thanks

[@Saltyscales]

Tide definitely will impact the bite but typically the first hour of that tide switch is fantastic. Are you fishing structure?

[@Poppabill48]

Can't really say since I can't see the bottom. I am fishing where I assume the rock piles are, on the South Pier in front of bait house and a little farther up near the second bathrooms. Thanks for taking time out to help. Even if I don't catch a cooler full I enjoy going and enjoying the sun and salt air

[@604roger]

Does this work in lakes which don’t have a high or low tide?

[@Saltyscales]

Absolutely, the moon, major, minor, wind and barometric pressure impacts all fish.

[@604roger]

Joshua Taylor do you think on small city lakes with hatchery trout, it has minimal effect?

[@plantcitychuck2551]

I have good luck on a n wind.not so much on the east.but i do know this.i catch lots of fish when my line is in the water.you will not catch fish if it isnt.this always applies.

[@salvadorcisneros]

Down north as I live here in Sacramento California maybe some day you can come down so we can fish the American river my brotha and maybe I can learn from you how to be a better angler

[@Saltyscales]

Who knows, maybe we can make it happen.

[@adw4464]

Going to check this site out Always fish the New & Full moon cycles....Thanks Joshua

[@Saltyscales]

Give it a look Alvin, are you stopping in on the stream this evening?

[@adw4464]

Joshua Taylor what time ??

[@Saltyscales]

8pm eastern

[@junolegend9045]

Thank you !! That website is liiiit

[@Saltyscales]

You are welcome!

[@SCHan247]

I've used "tides4fishing" for years and it was always wrong. The tides were 45min off and the "high activity/low activity" was never correct. I only use it for information on barometric pressure now. That part is spot on. But don't trust "tides4fishing" for your next blitz fishing... just get your line in the water.

[@Saltyscales]

I've been using it a long time and it's rarely off in our region. 👍

[@dustintatum7408]

yall have stickers I wanna get sum to cover my yeti 45 my friends thought it would be funny to paint it and I need to cover it😂

[@Saltyscales]

Shoot us an email on the website, we will send you a decal.

[@CryptoBates]

is higher tidal coefficenrt better than low?

[@Saltyscales]

I like higher coefficients, much more water movement.

[@richardmedeiros1596]

plenty of apps you have to pay a monthly fee to see the same things online for free. not wasting my money on those anymore lol. thanks for the advice

[@Saltyscales]

That's right, free and a great reliable resource.

[@Aaron.Davis56]

I fish for the fun of it. If I really have to eat some fish, it's available at the grocery store or restaurant. Don't stress over catching

[@Saltyscales]

Don't stress but learn and catch a little more. Catching is always more fun. ;)

[@vega4197]

I dont see Ohio on the site

[@ricksonora6656]

I’m a sore loser. If I expect skunks instead of fish, it will be much better for my mental health and for those who have to put up with me. Thanks.

[@jcmoye1]

No such site

[@Saltyscales]

I've been using an imaginary website for years I suppose? Site is there and in PERFECT working order.

[@jcmoye1]

Joshua Taylor my bad forgot 4

[@Saltyscales]

No worries

[@thegorillatagger8793]

Do you have makeup on ?

[@Saltyscales]

Blake Camacho yea man, that is what I do. Get up and throw some makeup on, paint my nails and dye my hair.

[@zero2spearo]

utilizing = using, why ever say utilize?

[@Saltyscales]

Because I can, why waste time commenting and critiquing something so petty is the question? 🤭

[@zero2spearo]

@@Saltyscales hey man! Loved the vid! My English teacher back in the day just drilled it into our heads so it's basically a reflex now XD XD Sorry for being such an @$$hole 😬😬😬

[@Travis7919]

"Fish senses barometric pressure" ... Fatal non-sense! Just think about physics for a moment if you have any education.

[@Saltyscales]

You definitely need more education lol. We know fish, listen and learn.
