Just remember tide and current arn't the same thing..........current can change and the tide can still be falling or rising ....Rookies that fish the canal think tide and current are one and the same, they are not......to make things worst a lot of folks, myself included talk about current as tide
wind can affect the tide geographically........I.E. buzzards bay.....n. wind blows the tide out, s. wind keeps the tide in.........
