    Currents are the invisible highways of the ocean. In Crystal Bay, they decide everything — where the baitfish gather, how predators move, and when the bite begins. Learning to read the current can turn an average trip into an unforgettable one.

    There are two main types of current here: tidal flow and wind-driven drift. When these two align, fishing becomes extraordinary. Too strong, and lures drift off target; too weak, and baitfish scatter. The best current is moderate — just enough movement to carry scent and keep the water alive.

    Skilled captains watch the water’s texture. Smooth patches mean slack current; ripples and diagonal lines signal moving water. Even floating debris tells a story — predators often lurk beneath.

    In Crystal Bay, strong currents near the 70-meter line often bring tuna close to the surface. When that happens, the action can last for hours.

    The sea may look still, but beneath, it’s constantly flowing — a world in motion. To fish well is to move with it.
