Day

low

Giant trevally should be the day — the same sand as it empties; the GT still owns the edge. Work the leeward shore — fly gets harder.

Upper Laguna / Baffin

6.5OF 10

Day

low

Speckled trout are the hunt — Nine Mile and the Badlands guts, not a wade across the flat.

10 mph SSE · low slack

No live gauge this hour — the printed tide is the forecast.

Where

  • Land Cut · 7.1channel gut on a low slack tide is a workable match.
  • Baffin Bay rocks · 6.9serpulid reef on a low slack tide is a workable match.
  • TX - Kaufer-Hubert Park (Baffin doorway) · 6.9serpulid reef on a low slack tide is a workable match.
