So I picked up the Eldridge Tide and Pilot book for 2008. I have no idea how to interpret or decipher the info contained within for the Fire Island area. If someone can give me a couple of pointers it would be greatly appreciated.

(pg. 16) Moriches inlet and Demo Pt. What are the "H.M." numbers?

(pg. 26) Time difference based on The Narrows (pg. 116-121) . How do I apply this information to the F.I. areas that I fish? Maybe it's me, but I have no idea. A few guys have mentioned the book at some of the seminars so it must be usefull, maybe someone could help me out. Thanks guys.

It is. I don't use that tool. I fish when I can. I use the simple tide charts on the site here. I try to target a moon, tide, sunrise, sunset, etc. but I have the opportunity and those things aren't in my favor, I still go. Same thing with wind, although this will be the first season I pay attention to that.

I hear you. With a very young family it is sometimes hard to fish the times I know I should be fishing. Go when I can. But with the family getting a little more independent now it's possible once again for me to plan around the prime times and tides this season a bit more.

I Just thought it would be handy to have the ability to look weeks/months ahead and have pretty much any area I wanted to know about right in the palm of my hand/glove box.

Thanks for the reply though. I know there is plenty of guys who use it, thought I would get a bit more of a response.
