Hunting Fish inside Bluewater Supermap...

Temp breaks are very important....in the spring and fall when warm water is here and cold water is there. This time of year it is ALL warm. If you look at any SST shot it will look "Muddeled". Unless they "Dumb" it down to say 1 degree breaks. (We do not do this...we give you the temp...Kind of like a color scope vs a b/w with fish symbols)

SST's can very good this time of year showing you the movement of the water. IT is this movement during the warm months that you pay attention to.

Here is what I do....
I pull up an SST....Find the Correct Temp Range...

This is the Modis Shot from Aug 31st 2:24 am ->Color Ramp->All (I clicked on the image)

You can see where the hot water is pushing over the break...

Now I flip over to Clor....
The Modis Clor shot suxed so I used teh SeaView Shot...
IF though the shot kind of suxs you can that there is Blue Water to the North and Green Water Inshore. This matches what we are seeing in the SST Image....

Now I flip over to SSH in SeaView
You can see HIGH water to the North and Offshore and LOW water South and Inshore. Once angain we see the same pattern right along the break where the even water is.

Now SeaView Salinty...
You see the SAME Feature....

and Last But Not Least....My Personal Favorite
SeaView Mixed Layer Depth...

This one is Zoomed in the Area in Question....

This shows two Troughs of LOW MLD being pushed tot he North.

What we want to do is fish right inbetween the area of HIGH Thermocline and LOW thermocline. It is this area that is the "Converance Zone" as discussed in Fish Finding from Space, The Hand Book.
