US East Coast
Eddy Forecasts with Weather Intelligence

The Gulf Stream is the dominant oceanographic feature of the US East Coast, and it generates more warm-core rings and cold-core eddies than almost any other current system on Earth. From its origins in the Caribbean and through the Straits of Florida, the Gulf Stream flows northward along the entire Eastern Seaboard, shedding massive eddies that create some of the most productive offshore fishing grounds in the world. Caribbean current interactions add even more complexity, making the East Coast eddy field a massive and dynamic system spanning thousands of miles.

East Coast eddy fishing targets the full roster of pelagic species: bluefin tuna, yellowfin tuna, bigeye tuna, blue marlin, white marlin, swordfish, mahi-mahi, and wahoo. Anglers launch from ports stretching from Miami and the Florida Keys to Hatteras, the Mid-Atlantic canyons, Montauk, and all the way to Gloucester, Massachusetts. The fishery operates year-round with seasonal peaks — giant bluefin on warm-core rings in the Northeast from summer through fall, yellowfin and marlin in the Southeast and Caribbean through winter and spring, and canyon fishing in the Mid-Atlantic from June through October.

EddyCast provides comprehensive coverage of the entire East Coast eddy field, from the Caribbean to the Gulf of Maine. Every eddy is scored for fishing potential, overlaid with real-time weather safety ratings, and accompanied by species-specific tactics and positioning guidance so you always know where to fish and when to go.
