7.0OF 10

Day

low

Speckled trout should be the day — sight the grass and serpulid — do not fish Baffin like Rockport.

11 mph SE · incoming

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

Where

  • TX - Mustang Island SP · 7.8pass jetty on a incoming tide is a classic match.
  • TX - PINS South Beach miles 0-5 · 7.8pass jetty on a incoming tide is a classic match.
  • TX - Yarborough Pass (PINS mile 15.5) · 7.8pass jetty on a incoming tide is a classic match.

Day

low

Giant trevally are the hunt — the lagoon is a look; the pass wants water. Work the leeward shore — fly gets harder.

24 mph SE · rain · high slack

Where

  • Farquhar passes · 4.8pass jetty on a high slack tide is a secondary match.
  • Farquhar lagoon · 4.6hard flat on a high slack tide is a workable match.
