Day

Redfish should be the day — flood Calcasieu Lake shell, then the pass if the wind lets water in.

6 mph SSE · incoming

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

Where

  • Calcasieu Lake reefs · 8.2oyster reef on an incoming tide is a classic match.
  • Calcasieu Pass · 7.8pass jetty on an incoming tide is a classic match.
  • Cameron jetties · 7.1pass jetty on an incoming tide is a classic match.

Day

low

Giant trevally should be the day — the same sand as it empties; the GT still owns the edge. Work the leeward shore — fly gets harder.

25 mph SSE · rain · outgoing

Where

  • St François flats · 5.5hard flat on an outgoing tide is a workable match.
  • Alphonse lagoon · 5.5hard flat on an outgoing tide is a workable match.
