Day

Redfish should be the day — hold for moving water; Galveston slack is a boat ride. The wind is the tide. Work the leeward shore.

20 mph SSW · 25% rain · high slack

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

Where

  • East Bay reefs / Hanna's · 7.5oyster reef on a high slack tide is a workable match.
  • West Bay grass · 7.5grass flat on a high slack tide is a workable match.
  • Christmas Bay · 7.5grass flat on a high slack tide is a workable match.
