Like Scup says the worse is wind and tide in different directions, it'll throw your drift way off. As for speeds, my favorite and most productive are from min. 1mph to 2.25mph. We've had wind tide push us up to 3 and I think it's too fast. When the tide slows, we usually switch off to bucktail jigs. 1/2 hour before/after a tide change and a light rod with a 1oz. bucktail can be deadly.
Our season here in CT won't open until Memorial Day weekend this year and it'll close Labor Day weekend, so I may just stay on the water for 3 months this summer. It, season, starts after the fish get here and ends before they leave. I've found early and late season is when they'll concentrate and be on the move to the east from our area. But once you find the bigger fish you can find them until they leave the area completely. Unfortunately that is usually mid to late September where we fish

If nothing else we'll be trying a few new things this summer and expand on some things we learned last year... i.e. don't always look for big fish in the deeper water. And the fluke don't just lie around but hunt the reefs and rock piles aggressively.
