Films

Short films on the questions we get asked most, shot on the water we fish.

• 

  One tide on the Charleston flats

  A 1:26 film: follow the water that floods one Charleston flat, from the Gulf Stream to a summer storm, the rivers, the wind and the low tide. Then ask TidalMap when to launch.

• 

  How to plan a flood tide

  A 1:30 film on planning a flood tide on the Charleston flats: the moon, the calendar, the hour, a tide alert, the ramp, the forecast, and the live gauge against its prediction.

• 

  So you want to be a trout bum: know your flows

  A 1:15 film on reading the flows in Southern Appalachian trout country: the storm on the ridges, the freestone creeks, the tailwaters below the dams, and the TVA release schedule that decides wade or float.

• 

  So you're going offshore tomorrow

  A 1:18 film: the night before a run from Beaufort Inlet to the Big Rock. Wind and swell first, then the water temperature edge, the LORAN lines on grandpa's chart, and the radar.

• 

  TidalMap in 30 seconds

  A 30-second founder film: why TidalMap puts tide stations, Tide Replay, radar, satellite imagery, wind and your own tracks on one chart.
