Help me understand the conflicting advice I get.

Okay. quick poll. Choose your favorite time, or as many as you like.
When is the best time to fish the bay from shore for salmon?
1. Just before high tide
2. Just high slack tide
3. Just after high tide
4. Just before low tide
5. Just low slack tide
6. Just after high tide
7. Just about any time
8. Just stop wasting our time with questions.

9. Depends on where in the system you are fishing.

I would fish the bank off Rhody Drive from Low slack through high slack...

I agree with Roger.

I agree with Roger.

Yes, I suppose it would matter where.
I should have been more specific.
I was hoping to gain knowledge about the only place in the Siuslaw bay that I've fished. There along what seems to be called the Rhododendron or "Rhody" Wall.
I'd be grateful for any advice as to other places where access to the water is available.
That riprap bank of the Rhody wall is about the roughest terrain I can deal with, and even that is a major chore for me to go up and down. Much as I'd like to deny it I'm old, fat, and very weak on my left side which makes the possibility of a fall on the rocks a realistic major concern.

Rhody wall I would say incoming from 3 hours before high to an hour after high. also an hour or so at low slack that might be worth trying...roger
