That was the story today off clover point..
the police boat was out, doing vessel/gear checks
which i was able to avoid.
beautful day, but cool on the water.
when the seal started to follow, it was time to go.
anybody else have any luck ?

Better check your tides Noon tommorow youll have a hard time anchoring 6 to 11am your ok but after that your not

Good luck Wolf

not sure exactly, although they had another boat
sidelined for about 10 mins.
i had them check me once, they checked life jackets
heaving line, sounding device, bailer etc.
i was ok, but they can fine you for improper equipment.

hard flood started around 12:30 or 1:00pm
wolf is right, early is best for anchoring.

Awesome day on the water, Mount baker was clear as I ever seen it.

37 lb hally at constance around 11:30 am. After that the tide picked up as I was told it would. Although anchored at constance, I felt like I was fishing pedder bay as the tide pulled so much line out.

Funny thing, tide was flooding after noon but current was going west, not east?? Back eddy maybe?

hmm, i must have been reading the chart wrong? at 2:30 it was ebbing hard but the chart shows low tide at 2:00 pm ?? Do i have to adjust for daylight savings?

Go by the current tables its a lot closer for hali fishing murray tables is one also nobeltec if you know of someone to put it on your comp.or just the tidal book is close as it also has the current tables in it as well most sporting /fishing stores have them

Good luck Wolf

The time of a low tide and the time of a maximum ebb don't necessarily coincide.
