Fish breaking journey in rough water (4-3)

I believe the answer is:

tide-rip

'rough water' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'fish breaking journey' is the wordplay.
'fish' becomes 'ide' (I've seen this before).
'breaking' is an insertion indicator.
'journey' becomes 'trip' (trip is a kind of journey).
'ide' going within 'trip' is 'TIDE-RIP'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Another definition for tide-rip that I've seen is " Area of rough sea where currents meet".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
