Snook are in the mix — flood the mangrove cays — snook first, a tarpon in the darker mouths.
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.

When
When is moving water in a good hour — not the day. 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.
