I would say without doubt thats what they are doing. I have found it varies from one estuary to another. Trial and error and take a note of your catches. One estuary i fish the Bass enter it 3 hours into the rise, and I will catch them 2-3 hours after full on the way out again. I catch more during the 2-3 hours after high so I guess that I am missing some of them on the way in, in general. Obviously we cannot tell when each fish will enter and so on and im sure they dont all enter around the same time. I know of another estuary that as soon as the tide turns the Bass leave with haste. Also depends on depth of water, speed of water and even air pressure. I have kept a record of every bass I have ever caught so over the years it has been easy for me to look at patterns and work out what they are doing.
