The Wells Daily Fishing Forecast sometimes show the current still to be coming in after high tide and ebbing after low tide. How can this be?
The times of High Water or Low Water are NOT correlated directly to the time of Maximum or Minimum tidal current. Bottom characteristics such as natural or manmade channels and natural or unnatural obstructions to current flow can all contribute to timing differences. How can I use the Forecast to improve my fishing results. Fishermen use the Wells Daily Fishing Forecast to plan their fishing in advance.
