Papa was adamant that we had to be there at promptly 6:14. He said no earlier because it wouldn’t do any good, and if we were too late, it would be over. He knew the fish bite was half an hour before slack low tide till a half hour after slack low tide. If we weren’t there at that time, we didn’t need to bother because the fish would not be biting. He knew it would take an hour to get there. It didn’t matter when we quit, but he was adamant about what time we had to be there.
