Thanks guys, Ill shop there when I go. One last question, how do I predict what time the slack tide is, aside from fishing until the water stops moving? Up North dead low, or high gives you a 20 min or so window before it swings the other way, but the east/west thing I dont get. Would it be the time it swings from east to west and vice versa, or do hi and low tide play a part?

sLACK IS WHEN THE CURRENT TURNS THE OTHER WAY oops caplock
use the canal tide chart to see what time the current turns.
the chart lists the times it changes at the railroad bridge but it's not far off when it changes direction for the east end either unless there is a strong wind with an unusual tide or something.
once the tide turns east, it keeps dropping down for 2 hours.
it's very complicated , as Buzzards bay has 4-5 ft tides that are high no where near the same time as 10 ft. tides from the other end in Cape Cod bay. I'm not sure of the time difference but it is significant.

...and sometimes in some places the top water is going West and the under current is humping East.

Yup, I've had my lure go west with the current one cast and then go east on the next cast. It can get weird, especially with eels. |

That's when the east is overpowering the west right in front of you. It never really goes slack.
When it's really flat down there, you can see the wave roll up the canal created by one tide pushing back the other. |

Good info here. Nice thread. I would like to add that I always catch more fish after a quick kneel and Hail Mary right before my first cast. I think one of the apostles, either Peter, Paul and Mary were fisherman,
