2019, How Altimetry Charts Improve Fishing Forecast
Temperature and chlorophyll satellites show surface conditions but miss the vertical water movements driving productivity. Tom Hilton explains how altimetry reveals upwelling bringing nutrients from depth versus downwelling pulling them away, why upwelling edges outperform centers for predator positioning, and what sea surface height variations indicate about food chain sustainability.

2026, How to Fish Upwelling Around Offshore Structure
When current hits offshore structure, cold nutrient-rich water rises toward the surface. That localized upwelling compresses bait and predators into defined zones. This article breaks down which structures create the strongest upwelling, how to read the signs before and during a trip, and how to position and present baits where predators actually feed.
