Basic questions ...

So I've been looking into tides, swell and winds ...
I was wondering if someone would be willing to educate me on what's the best fishing "conditions"?
1) Wind: I experienced low wind is more pleasant for fishing in the bay and in the ocean. Is it the best condition for fishing?
2) Swell: big swells are lot of work. But what's the correlation between big swells and fishing?
3) tides: what's the best one for the bay or ocean fishing?
4) and finally what are the websites you prefer?
Thanks,

1) fish dont care about the wind , the wind just makes it hard to put in quailty fishing.( boats swingin around , your drifting so fast that your bait isnt within the strike zone , your lucky fishing hat blows off your head ect.)

2) depends on what your fishing for and where.....ive been salmon fishing in 10 foot swells and everyone limited out...but i doubt any halibut or stripers would wanna stay within the surf zone in a huge swell , might have to head deeper, regardless...the fish gotta eat... but then again im not mr limpets **shruggs**

3) bay tidess- traditionally...weaker tides mean clearer water meaning more halibut strikes , in my expierinece the incoming tide had always been better for hali , striped bass usually favor bigger tides and your best windows are at the top and bottom of the tides...try to plan your trip to where you will catch the end of one tide and the beginning of another or vice versa. Sturgeon feed with the tides as well and traditionally people fish the bigger tides but if you find a body of water with some decent( not too strong) current small tide or big tide , the fish will bite (big tides=shallow mudflats... , small tides= deeper channels)
ocean tides..?? not really sure but im gonna assume fish use the tides to there advantage in the ocean just like they do in the bay.

4) saltwatertides for tidal swings , noaa +swell info for ocean conditions

another tip: have a huge circle of fishing buddies who fish everywhere so you can always get day to day info on where the bite is

I'm also looking for 'answers' to those questions.

Normally, I target a species; sometimes the method/s will produce more than 1 type of fish.
The 'hunting' or 'feeding' behavior of a given fish, in a specific setting, pretty much, dictates the behavior to be found in: Wind, Swell and stages of Tides. In other words, a striper's 'feeding behavior' in shallow water, 4' to 6 feet deep, during late fall, water temp 59 to 62 degrees, would be depressed if there was no wind, no swell and a slack tide, and a high sky. However, if the same conditions existed and it was a late night, no moon or cloudy, it's got a good chance of being "lights-out" fishing.
Normally, when I'm thinking, I'm asking: "Am I offering what "they" want, in a 'way' that 'they' want, and is it being offered/staying in the zone in which they are feeding? From a yak, more than from shore,  I'm slowly learning: Wind, Swells and Tides influence the above, a lot.
Normally, if I say, "I'm on fish." I'd like to believe that I've got the Wind, Swell and Tide variables "figured out." Plus, I've figured out "what" they're eating. The "when" came with the Wind, Swell and Tide. Or, so I'd like to think. Like most, too many times, I've seen the 'bite' go ON and then OFF in a blink of an eye; 1 or more of the variables 'flipped.'
The only answer that I've figured out is: Know your water and the fish you're after in your water. Patterns will emerge; then, as soon as I think that I've got 'em all dialed in, BANG,,,"They" throw me a curve ball and remind me:"You know nothing! Now go home with a skunk on your back and lay awake trying to figure "Us" out." Madness.
