Surface temp map

[fitz67]

So I am looking at the surface temp map and wondering how to interpret the info

I see into finding fish .Is it as simple as fishing the areas with the tightest gradient lines ?

Thanks

between currents and winds it's hard to tell what's going on below the surface.

We all wish it were that simple.  But that is a good start.  You also have to remember that those temp maps are at least a few hours old.  Look at the sites that give a history for the last 2 days or so and try to visualize the pattern of how the water is moving.  It can change drastically in a hours time.

This is what is important

Exactly!  Play the loop feature.   Put the surface, the transects & the surface currents together in your mind to get a decent picture of what's going on out there.
