7/17 Windanglass - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Would the explanation for downhill current being better-- be that nutrient rich phytoplanton filled water would plume up from the depths of the canyon against the edge of the kelp shelf attracting bait fish and thus bigger fish?

Another interesting idea--I was talking to the owner of Star Marlin and Tuna lures and he said that the angle that the tide flows in daily varies in a predictable manner. If you can plot out and be at that point of the kelp that first intersects the incoming tide flow you should be able to catch fish. He said there are charts that predict this angle of flow in a book called COAST PILOT?

Anyone heard of or used this concept?
