Day

low

Speckled trout should be the day — Nine Mile and the Badlands guts, not a wade across the flat.

Wind not in · low slack

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

Where

  • Land Cut · 7.3channel gut on a low slack tide is a workable match.
  • Baffin Bay rocks · 7.2serpulid reef on a low slack tide is a workable match.
  • TX - Mustang Island SP bayside launch · 7.2serpulid reef on a low slack tide is a workable match.
