Upper Laguna / Baffin

6.8OF 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.

20 mph SSE · 31% rain · 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

Redfish should be the day — wait — slack on a border estuary is a pause, not a hunt.

14 mph SSW · 20% rain · high slack

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