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.

Great explanation Gerry. There are tides out in the ocean, currents are not as effected by tide in areas where there is little restricting the waters flow.
