Was thinking of going fishing again pretty soon but I would like to know the tides this time before I go.
Does anyone know of a site that I can go to, to see what it would be for New Westminster?

Don't know if this will work, but I will give it a try!!! ;D

Ok thanks BS!
What is good tide for sturgeon fishing?or any fishing to that matter.
-
Well, from where you will be fishing, you want a big tide!! This is important, you want to fish it on the incoming tide, get there at least a couple of hrs before high tide and rip it out there like I showed you last time, from "the Corner"!! I would say that you should find the biggest smelts you can, I know that Berry's had some Columbia river Smelt, they are pretty big and I know that they were working last weekend!! Do you remember how I showed you to rig them on the hook?

This is the one that I always like to use:

It has graphs that are very easy to interpret. Add time to it depending on where you are on the Fraser River.

Not really BS but I think its basically just the same as with roe? I will figure it out. Ok will do.
Thanks Rod! Appreciate the help! Geuss I will be down there early! How many hours do you add if the difference is Vancouver to New Westminster?
-
If you look at the tide chart for New West, I don't think there is any time difference? What you see is when the tide will be, but I could be wrong, Rodney?
-
From that tide chart, depending on how strong the tide is, I generally add an hour or so for the tides in Richmond. You probably don't need that much more for New West.
