I hope to fish tonight for Stripers. I noticed high tide at Green Harbor is two hours earlier than High tide at the East enterance of the Canal.
Why is there a two hour difference when the locations are not that far apart?

The tides should be only a few minutes apart. You sure you aren't comparing the high tide at Green Harbor with West end of the Canal?

or this years tide chart? :biglaugh:

Don't worry, we've all made that error before, but we learned that when haul your butt 50-80 miles to hit the canal at the right tide/time and your off by a couple hours, it won't happen again!

Hopefully your outing will be productive!

Think i was looking at current change and tide. ebb is 9:25. probably try another time or day.
