Before you decide to go out for your fishing which one of the above do you consider the most important to you prior to going out?

Obviously different areas/regions will dictate different views but on the whole, which do you consider first.

For us in Sussex, IMHO, it's all about wind direction and speed...

 

[Ian Morris]

Weather is the 2nd most crucial, the other factors come joint 3rd. The most crucial factor to consider is "permission"!!

 

[Barry Howlin]

If you aint got the weather you is screwed......you always have tide of some description......

I'm no expert but weather is the only thing that would stop me fishing where as the others would not

Strange how different places differ, an easterly for me here in sussex is prime time..

 

[Izador]

I voted state of tide but thinking about it my first consideration would be water clarity, anything less than pea soup and I'm good to go...

its got to be swell it hardly ever fishes well down here without a wave running it just seems to bring the fish on
