if its a wide opening I usually pull right into it and let the boat drift back with the current until I start picking up steady fish. if its narrow I stay back out of the strong current and start drifting with it. a lot depends on current speed as to how far back the fish stage to feed so its as random as the weather but I try to look at where the tide loses about 2/3rds of its speed and concentrate there and it serves me well. as the tide slacks you move closer in and as it increases you back off more but its up to the fish to tell you where to be, sometimes they are off to the side and sometimes they are behind the current when it loses speed.
