Day

low

Redfish should be the day — slide to guts and the ship-channel edges until it moves.

No wind reading · low slack

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

Where

  • East Bay reefs / Hanna's · 7.7oyster reef on a low slack tide is a workable match.
  • Galveston North Jetty · 7.3pass jetty on a low slack tide is a secondary match.
  • Bolivar Roads Channel · 7.3pass jetty on a low slack tide is a secondary match.

Day

Bonefish should be the day — the same banks as they empty; the harbor holds the tarpon.
