Introduction to the Wells Daily
Fishing Forecast
Tidal Currents are the horizontal movement of tide waters.
This horizontal movement is the most vital factor in marine life. Because
currents control the movement of fish food, they are the only advance predictable
factor in the movement of our gamefish. All the other minor factors which
effect the movement of fish can only be determined on a day-to-day basis.
It can be determined when and where the most fish movement
will occur on any given day. You can decide whether to fish the deeper
reefs, the close to shore feeding areas or the passes from the Gulf.
The "why" it works is known to thousands of fishermen
who have depended on the Wells Daily Fishing Forecast for 47 years. This explanation is mostly for new
(to the Fishing Forecast) fishermen, but regular users can benefit by reviewing
information. For more information...
