Keep currents in mind—which means keeping bathymetrics in mind—and you’ll catch more fish. We’re sure you already know that SST is epically important for finding pelagic fish with satellite charts, but SST shouldn’t be considered alone. Naturally, you’ll also be taking a peek at chlorophyll. And, if you have a seriously good satellite fishing service (yes we’re tooting our own SatFish horn, here!) you’ll also be looking at how these things interact with the bathymetrics of any given area. Now let’s add currents to… READ MORE

Blueline tilefish may not be the most impressive fish in the ocean, but they’re relatively easy to find and almost always willing to bite. You need to find a reliable way to save the day when trolling has left you with a blank scorecard at the eleventh hour? All along the Mid-Atlantic coast, blueline tilefish… READ MORE
Golden tilefish are big, tasty, and tough to catch—but they’re even tougher to find. You know the golden tilefish are out there, but you don’t know exactly where? The ocean is a vast desert and the oasis that hold golden tiles compromises a relatively tiny swath of oceanic area, so the very best way to… READ MORE
Targeting bigeye tuna takes a 100-percent all-out directed effort. Few members of the Thunnus species are as difficult as bigeye to target. Timing matters, bathymetry matters, water temp matters, and the offerings you choose matter, too. You say you want to sink the gaff into one of these bluewater beasts? Make sure to consider all… READ MORE

Inshore anglers consider tides and currents a critical factor, but offshore anglers often miss the boat. Fact: We know that currents have a huge impact on how and when fish feed. Another fact: few offshore anglers take currents into account. This is especially surprising since inshore anglers often have their current considerations honed to fine… READ MORE
