Identify tide breaks at low tide when structure is exposed and the current pattern around it is visible. Mark them and return on incoming or outgoing tide for fishing. State tide guide pages cover regional structure features.

What is a tide break and why does it matter?
A tide break is any structure that interrupts current flow and creates an eddy or seam where bait stacks. Oyster bars, points, dock pilings, drain mouths, and channel edges all create tide breaks. They're the highest-percentage feeding spots in any tidal system because predators position there to ambush bait swept past by current.
