You'll find that different marks fish best at different times/tides! All about putting the hours in and sussing it out :-)

SeanA is spot on , im afraid a lot of it is trial and error depending on the location. You could try dawn or dusk near high or low water, i find the best time would be 2 days before the new or full moon. but again it depends on the location. sorryif this all sounds a bit vauge but thats bass fishing.

some of the more experienced guys here might be able to add a little more to help get you started. good luck and tight lines.

Tom.

It's always good to have a look at the mark at low water to see what you are going to be fishing over when the tide is coming in, as said above some places are good at low tide and at 6 in the morning with low light it could be good. So, I would get there for low water to check it out. Good luck.
A bad day fishing is better than a good day at the office!
