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

16 mph ESE · 21% 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.

Day

low

Permit should be the day — the same banks as they empty; the harbor holds the tarpon. Work the leeward shore — fly gets harder.

19 mph E · 44% rain · outgoing

  • Isabel Segunda harbor · 7.4channel gut on a outgoing tide is a classic match.
  • Esperanza banks · 6.1hard flat on a outgoing tide is a workable match.
