Re: The Tide and the Ocean
No question there are tides in the ocean. All you need to do is spend some time on the beach, by a jetty or inlet and you can see the water levels rise and fall.
I think what the captain might be saying is that the tides don't effect the fishing as much in the open ocean as they do in rivers, bays and inlets. In these areas the tides dictate the water movement and direction because of all the water running in and out through more restricted areas.
In the open ocean the currents have more to do with the direction the water is moving then the tide.
