Puerto Rico · La Parguera / southwest
Snook are in the mix — the village run is legal; the trees want current.
Southwest mangrove cays and the drop to the Caribbean. Snook and tarpon in the trees, reef and blue water a short run south. NOAA 9759110 Magueyes Island is the clock. Not San Juan. DNER and any reserve markers are the law.

Magueyes Island

NOAA 9759110 lives here. University water. The clock, not a honey hole.
- — structure piling on a high slack tide is a workable match.

Parguera mangrove cays

Southwest trees. Snook and a baby tarpon. The village is the door. Reserve markers are the law.

When
When is moving water in a good hour — not the day. First light and last light are named when the clock is the story. Today’s ring mixes the best mark, the lead fish, and the best window, then taxes the sky. A strong incoming can sit under a weak day if the wind or the fish is off. Calendar cells are a third recipe: range, moon, and the day’s forecast.

Why — and who
- — Tide is high slack (modeled — NOAA 9759110 Magueyes Island did not answer).
- — Clear. Sky is workable.
- — Wind 9 mph ESE. Castable. Sight-fishing is on if the sun is out.
- — Waning crescent moon — mid tide range. Marsh and passes usually want the extra current of a spring.
