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 low slack from NOAA 9759110 Magueyes Island.
- — Clear. Sky is workable.
- — Wind 2 mph NNE. Castable. Sight-fishing is on if the sun is out.
- — Waning crescent moon — neap tide range. Marsh and passes usually want the extra current of a spring.
