Are there tide cycles and do they impact fishing?

I was fishing in the ocean out in New Light for quite some time. I was standing out in the water as far as I could go without being under it. As time went on, it seemed like the water was getting lower and lower (based on how high it was on my character after some time compared to when I started fishing), making me think the tide was going out into sea, and thus some sort of tide cycle existed.

I did begin fishing during the night where it seemed the water was deeper, and then once daytime arrived, it seemed like the water was more shallow.

Are there tide cycles in the game and do they have any impact on fishing?

What part of tide cycle is best for fishing?

An incoming tide, or rising tide, is considered one of the best fishing tide times. Water that enters an estuary area from the ocean can have a lower temperature, contain more oxygen, and have better clarity than the water that exists in the estuary during low tide or slack water periods.

In what way does the tide affect the following fishing?

In general terms, fishing is generally better when the tide is running, that is, during the middle period of the tide, instead of the peak of the low or high tide when the water is \u201cslack \u201c. Snappers and a lot of other fish species tend to feel more excited when the water is flowing.

Do tides help fishing?

The high tides also help in fishing. Many more fish come closer to the shore during the high tide. This enables fishermen to get a plentiful catch.

Do fish move with tides?

Tides have a large impact on fish feeding activity in saltwater inshore bay and estuary areas. Fish will generally move towards shallow flats or shorelines to feed on a rising or incoming tide. As the tide goes out, fish tend to follow the current toward deeper waters.
