The N.E. US has current charts giving speed and direction like we get a tide chart at the bait store. I have been trying to find something on line without any luck. I was hopping someone there had something. You hate to spend a couple hours running out to deep drop and have the current ripping as apposed to knowing a time of day to head out.

You want to pay attention to where the gulf stream is then. NOAA releases this info with the marine forecast. If you use your tide info along with that you should be set. I know on my Garmin it has tide and current info as well.
