Day

Redfish should be the day — pole the remaining water; slack here is short. The wind is the tide. Work the leeward shore.

18 mph SE · 35% rain · high slack

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

Where

  • Copano Bay reefs · 7.5oyster reef on a high slack tide is a workable match.
  • Redfish Bay grass · 7.5grass flat on a high slack tide is a workable match.
  • TX - Army Hole, Matagorda Island WMA · 7.5grass flat on a high slack tide is a workable match.
