will be going to myrtle and emerald isle atlantic beach nc come this summer. Is low tide a good time to go? and the evening after ppl leave?
 
Not sure about that area but I have found early morning the water is calmer in most areas I hunt. Giving you more of a chance to hunt deeper, being low or high tide.
 
I'd hunt whenever there is less people around ! Like at the very sunrise.
 
No one has asked.... but are you hunting wet or dry sand or in the water? It makes a difference. Low tides early morning is a good time to wet sand or in the water. Tides.... watch the charts. Sometimes in the water you are just as well off hunting when the people are there.... like on dry sand you get a line where most are standing. I prefer early morning for dry sand.... because in the evening there is still people watching the sun go down and its difficult to hunt.
