Hi Michael

You probably already got this info, but just in case:

The three places that seem to me to be High-tide dependent are: (1) Bottle
Beach, (2) Bill's Spit and the (3) Pond at Damen Point. Since you can't be
everywhere at once, it's an agonizing decision about what to try. Bill's
Spit and the Damen Point Pond are about 5 minutes apart by car, so you can
dash madly between them and catch them both.... The last time I tried
this, Brian Bell and I hit Bottle Beach about an hour before high tide, then
Bill's spit right at high tide, and the pond just after, with pretty good
results
