Upper Laguna / Baffin

7.6OF 10

Day

low

Speckled trout should be the day — sight the grass and serpulid — do not fish Baffin like Rockport. The wind is the tide. Work the leeward shore.

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

Where

  • Nine Mile Hole · 8.4grass flat on a incoming tide is a classic match.
  • TX - Bird Island Basin (PINS) · 8.4grass flat on a incoming tide is a classic match.
  • Nine Mile Hole / upper Laguna back country · 8.4grass flat on a incoming tide is a classic match.

Sailfish are in the mix — the Cancún / Mujeres bank — sail on the current, not a bonefish morning.
