Hey Guys,
I use Nobletec's site (www.nobeltec.com/services/tides.asp)to get my tide and current information. I fish out of Oak Bay (Victoria) and use "Victoria" for the tides and "Discovery Island" for the currents, but the currents don't seem to hold true. When the current graph is reading zero knots, my line disagrees, even taking boat drift into consideration.
I want to try Constance Bank in the next couple of days, but I want to time it right. What do I look for, and where do I look when I want to determine a calm current flow. I'm after halibut, so I want a slow current...does the tide matter on Constance Bank or just the size of the tide? What is considered a "big" tide 3', 4' and over? The guys at Island Outfitters have a current predictor on their wall, and it seems idiot proof, where do I find these?
Arggghh, help?
Thanks,
Scooter
