The Quote is "A Rising tide floats all boats." and It was JFK
Actually, it was: a rising tide lifts all the boats (1963)
High tide nimo
It depends on what you are fishing for and where. Normally the fish come in when the tide does and when the tide goes out so do the fish. It is said that when the tide is dead high or dead low its not very good fishing, but fish can be caught in those situations. We normally look at the tide charts and catch the tide when it is coming in, up to the point of full tide.
Because tides can change the depth of the water by an important amount. Underwater obstacles you can pass at high tide might catch you at low tide. Or even leave you stranded. Tides can also cause strong currents. Usually not a problem for motor boats, but they can bring sail boats/and really slow motorboats to a standstill.

A rising tide does indeed lift all boats.
The time for high tide and low tide depends on the date of the tide, and the place where you are measuring high and low tide. There isn't a fixed number, unfortunately.
there is a high tide nimo...
The navies needed high tides to be able to have boats land on the Islands of the Pacific and to land in Africa, Italy, and Normandy. When the invasion of Normandy happened they almost had to wait two more weeks because that is how long they would have had to wait for the next really high tide. But a storm lifted some and they were able to go on June 6, 1944 while the tide was high. In the Battle of Tarawa ran into problems with the coral reef because the tide was not high enough to get their boats to the beach. Men had to get off the boats and swim or walk to the beach. Some drowned from the weight of their equipment on their backs. This happened at Omaha beach in Normandy too.
