Low tide is better for bankies and high tide for boats.

If you want to use a float and jig I would suggest not putting in the middle of all of the drift gear. Float and jig would be best used away from everyone fishing from shore. If you are fishing from a boat float and jig would be a good technique to use. BTW, I have yet to see someone using a float and jig at the Zone.
