Watch the rock mark you want to fish over low water and on the rise to see how the water.
I always fish new marks on the ebb, less chance of a rogue wave getting you. Automatic (gas canister that fires on immersion) lifejacket and at least one mate would be my strongest advice.
It depends on the species you are after...
pollack like white water boils and strong currents
wrasse like heavy weed growth so look for sheltered marks with some fresh water
macks will pop up everywhere from now on
flatfish like sheltered waters as well, and clearly prefer sand or mixed ground
rays like to surf along on currents, in and out on different routes with the tide (especially estuaries)
if you search here for each species, you will see where and how they are being caught.
