Where

  • Eleuthera east ocean flats

    hard flat · public structure · skinny

    6.4

    Ocean swell and wind. When it lays down, it is the shot.

    • — hard flat on a high slack tide is a workable match.
    • — In-play: Permit.
    skiffwadefly

  • Current Cut

    channel gut · public structure · deep

    5.9

    Named cut. Current is the whole fishery. Not a beginner wade.

    • — channel gut on a high slack tide is a secondary match.
    • — In-play: Permit.

  • — Waxing gibbous moon — mid tide range. Marsh and passes usually want the extra current of a spring.
