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.

Redfish should be the day — flood Snake Bight and the Flamingo banks — backcountry reds and snook, not oceanside bones.

6 mph SE · rain · incoming

  • Flamingo basins / Buttonwood · 6.2mangrove edge on a incoming tide is a workable match.
  • FL - Florida Bay (Flamingo) · 6.2mangrove edge on a incoming tide is a workable match.
