#6040, "RE: Swimbaits for Flatties from Piers?" In response to In response to 2
Time of day doesn't seem to matter much, I've caught them all day long. Not as much at night. Generally, I try and fish in the morning just because there is usually less wind in the morning. Tides seem to depend on what beach you're fishing. Some beaches fish better at low tide and some seem to fish better approaching the high tide.
Try both depths, start shallow (in the waves) and work your way out.
