@@marathonsportfishing Boynton beach is 30min south of West Palm Beach. We do have an ocean inlet that blows bait in and out with the tides (and we use those tides to time our Wahoo trolls). There are 3 reef-lines running-north south for about 15 miles in both directions. The first reef is in 1mile out from the beach 40--90ft. depth (we avoid this area like the plague when bottom fishing because of snags) . The second reef is 1-1/2 miles out 90-120ft. depth (less rocky) . The third one is not actually a reef, but instead a steep ledge starting at 2 miles and 238ft. and goes deeper (300-400-500ft++ depth) the further you go out. If you will contact me directly, I can provide you a CMOR maps screenshot so you can see the actual bottom. Thank you, in advance. Cell 561-445-zero-five-zero-eight. David.

Hey Kelly, is your last name Willis???

Might suggest a new way to measure yellow tails. On my boat, they have to be at least 11 inches to qualify as a flag, and 12 inches in order to be a true large grade flag. ( FYI,,, 21:06 We measure them point to point, and of course, that is the measurement of the flag portion of the fish. Point to point on TAIL SPREAD). Those, are truly FLAGS.

@marathonsportfishing

Cool, most of these were 18" plus.

What you're calling a "slack" tied at 12 noon, is the middle of an outgoing tide (strongest current) before it empties out completly around 3 to 3:30 pm and begins to change direction and the tide comes back in. This is the point of a slack tide. Zero current and tide changing direction. Youre showing us a (x,y) graph of time vs elevation. The steapest slope is when the highst current is occuring.

@marathonsportfishing

13 күн бұрын

UMMMM OK, slack tide occurs in our location between peak of high and low, and vise versa. It varies every tide period. You can check the garmin for verification, or just try to dive the bridges for lobster and you will quickly understand when slack occurs.

how many pounds is that anchor?

Anthony!!! Lots of comments!

I hate to break the news, but your interpretation of tide flow is exactly the opposite of reality. The tide flow reverses direction at the time of minimum low and maximum hi tides - that is the point of zero tide flow. The maximum flow rate occurs at the midpoint between high and low tides. Differential calculus defines this point of zero flow rate as the horizontal slope of the tangent to the curve, which occurs at the highest and lowest point on the curve. Any idiot watching tide flow at any tidal bay inlet can verify this - as the tide flow approaches a change in direction, the flow slows, stops, then reverses.

@marathonsportfishing

17 күн бұрын

Hey thanks for the info but I am correct. In a progressive wave, the maximum flood and ebb will occur around the times of the high and low tides, with the slack water occurring between the times of high and low tide. If you would like to come down and dive the bridges with me looking for lobster, that will help clear up any misconception of when slack tide occurs.

@r.waynejohnson9968

@@marathonsportfishing We're not talking about a progressive wave but a tide - the large scale rise and fall of the oceans caused by the sun and moon. I dive and snorkel all the time. I'm also an engineer. The minimum flow - zero - occurs when the flow direction changes - at high and low tides, where the slope of the tangent to the tide elevation curve is horizontal. Maximum flow rate occurs at midpoint between the high and low tides, when the tangent to the curve is at approximately 45 degrees from horizontal. Review your differential calculus.

@r.waynejohnson9968

@@marathonsportfishing let me explain it with an automobile analogy - when you reverse your auto direction, do you reverse at full speed ?? no - you slow down, stop and start reverse from zero. The tide flow into a bay or inlet works the same, the flow slows down, stops, then reverses course. The maximum flow rate is approximately halfway between low and high tides.

@marathonsportfishing

13 күн бұрын

I look at it differently, first look at the garmin, it'll give you slack time. In this location it lands between high and low, not on the top or bottom. I can tell you for a fact that this is correct. If you would like to put some fins in the water and check it out, i'll drop you on a bridge at high or low peak and you can determine for yourself if it is slack or ripping!
