Upper Laguna / Baffin

Day

low

Speckled trout are the hunt — Nine Mile and the Badlands guts, not a wade across the flat.

11 mph SE · low slack

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

Where

  • Land Cut · 7.1channel gut on a low slack tide is a workable match.
  • Baffin Bay rocks · 6.9serpulid reef on a low slack tide is a workable match.
  • TX - Kaufer-Hubert Park (Baffin doorway) · 6.9serpulid reef on a low slack tide is a workable match.

Day

low

Giant trevally should be the day — the lagoon sand, then the passes if the GT are up. Work the leeward shore — fly gets harder.

20 mph SE · incoming

Where

  • Farquhar passes · 7.1pass jetty on a incoming tide is a classic match.
  • Farquhar lagoon · 6.7hard flat on a incoming tide is a classic match.
