thanks for both sites.I'm specifically looking for current info for the Watch Hill reefs.I was able to get the current info for the Race at the site fishpart listed and I'm guessing the currents off Watch Hill run pretty close to that.

Scotch,

Pick up a copy of the Eldridge Tide and Pilot Book -- It will give you the details you need for any of the areas you work. The currents on the Hill are different than those at Watch Hill Reef. You can pick one up at most boating stores and marinas.

Mike the Pilot book is excellant. I used to print it in one of the shops I worked at. It was my Xmas present to all my fishing buddy's.

The best $11.95 I ever spent. I'm already planning my attack for my 4 weeks of vacation over the summer.Thanks Mike. - Chris
