because a dropping swell leaves food churned up and just enough colour for a bass to hunt without being seen, which is the shortest window and the best one on this coast.

Works when the signal doesn't
Nothing else gives a UK sea angler a plan. There are tide tables, forecasts and catch logs — none of them read the water and tell you what's worth trying.
A tide table gives you the curve. Sprat reads it — and the swell, the light and the season — and tells you what it means.
