Redfish should be the day — pole the remaining water; slack here is short.

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

Where

  • Copano Bay reefs · 8.1oyster reef on a high slack tide is a workable match.
  • TX - Army Hole, Matagorda Island WMA · 8.1grass flat on a high slack tide is a workable match.
  • TX - Pringle Lake (boat-in via POC) · 8.1grass flat on a high slack tide is a workable match.

Day

Bonefish should be the day — East or West End pancakes — one fish, on foot. Work the leeward shore — fly gets harder.
