Field notes

Tidal upstream reach of the Adelaide River near the road crossings, where the salt-fresh interface fishes hard on the run-off. Barra schooling on the current lines and bait collecting in the eddies. Crocs are constant — do not approach the water on foot.

Best windows combine civil twilight with the hour either side of sun transit — the universal low-light feeding window most species respond to. Moon phase influence is folkloric; full and new moons coincide with the strongest tide swings.
