Day

low

Speckled trout should be the day — look, do not grind — this water is clear and they see you.

10 mph SSE · high slack

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

Where

  • Baffin Bay rocks · 7.2serpulid reef on a high slack tide is a workable match.
  • TX - Kaufer-Hubert Park (Baffin doorway) · 7.2serpulid reef on a high slack tide is a workable match.
  • Baffin Bay - TROPHY TROUT, MIND THE ROCKS · 7.2serpulid reef on a high slack tide is a workable match.

Redfish should be the day — fish the wind-blown shoreline — the table is not the tide here.
