I love that site!  It is often hard to describe to people what an eddy is and why it's different from a sliver or wash (my term).    In the pic below, the circulation on the right is a true eddy.  It has split off from the gulf stream and will hold fish.  It it reaches the edge, it would be a very good target to look at further.

 

The one on the left though is a different kind of circulation.  It isn't really a part of the gulf stream (it's drawing shelf water into a circular formation and drawing some along with the stream current) and is nowhere near an area we can reach.  If the gulf stream wanders a couple of hundred miles north, it would be fishable, but in a much different way.

 

Anyway, great site!
