Looks to be some tough currents on the first day of the derby, be blown out well before noon Saterday with a 2.9 kt ebb JDF East. Another chance at around 3pm- 7pm or so. A good break for lunch and a few pops i guess? Not very many good current days on weekends in May this year.[xx(]

tailspin where do you find current reports so far in advance??

Current tables for 2008, or Tides and Currents Pro, just a quick Limewire search away.
Tickets will be the same as last year, $50 per rod if I remember correctly. The derby area was from Port Renfrew to Sidney last year.

The Nobeltech Visual Navigation program and the Tide and current programs are available but very pricey. i have them on my computer, they are a amazingly accurate tool with 15 min intervals on current speeds. Nobeltech is used my the majority of Commercial fisherman on laptops or computers on there boats. It is basicaly a big mapping system that has tide and Current properties for that your GPS plugs into. The canadian tide and current tables issued each year is more of a basic tool of what the currents are doing with slacks, maximums and turns etc. for JDF East and Race passage. So in short, a flood at 2.8 JDFE harmonic station may take 45 minutes to hit you at Discovery. A guessing game! Nobeltech = less guess work it does the math for you.

Yes its an amazing program, you have every tide and current station for the west coast, good to year 2025 Every tide and current station has a colored graph with all the detail information you need. If you look on e-bay you can find it for cheap...

Hey guys - if you have a Palm Pilot handheld or a PDA phone such as Treo or Blackberry - just "google search" TIDE TOOL for Palm. There is a good, basic program that is a free download - it is actually a fairly powerful program... I use it all the time - let me know what you think.....
