A slack tide occurs when the tide is neither incoming nor outgoing, resulting in minimal water movement. This usually happens for a short period between the change from incoming to outgoing tide, or vice versa.

Two slack tidal currents usually occur each day, one at high tide and the other at low tide.
A mixed tide has two ebb tides. The first ebb tide occurs after the high tide, followed by a lower low tide known as a "slack tide." This is then followed by the second ebb tide before the next high tide.
If high tide is at noon - low tide will occur six hours later - at 6pm.
Tides affect fishing because they can provide plenty of fish for fishermen. For example, when the tide is moving, it is more productive and doesn't have slack. When there is less of a slack, then there will be more fishes in the surf.
