Introduction to Wells
Daily Fishing Forecast >>>
Sat-Sun (5/3-4)
Both Saturday and Sunday have similar currents
incoming and outgoing both days about the same time. Both afternoons will
be the better times to fish based on the currents. Sunday's GOOD incoming
current ends early in the morning but should be a better one to fish than
Saturday's.
This is an example of how to interpret
the Wells Daily Fishing Forecast tables. Note: Many things can upset tide and current tables. Cold fronts,
thunder storms, winds, barometric pressure, to name a few, can all impact
the predicted times of tide height, and current movement, strength and
even direction. |
