I used to go to the AC press office every year and get a whole case of the tide charts to give out at the shop. But 10 years ago Freestyle came out with the digital tide watch. Now every fisheran and surfer I know has one on their wrist and nobody uses tide charts anymore. Tidecharts have gone the way of vcr's.
A digital tide watch is not the same as the old analog tide watches, they were worthless, Every inlet in the world is in the program. You simpy choose your inlet and for the next 7 years the program will know what the moon phase is so acuratly report the excact tide info for the inlet you are tracking. They use words and also a simple graph of peaks and valleys.
