Redfish are the hunt — slide to guts and the ship-channel edges until it moves.

11 mph W · low slack

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

Where

  • East Bay reefs / Hanna's · 6.8oyster reef on a low slack tide is a workable match.
  • San Luis Pass · 6.5pass jetty on a low slack tide is a secondary match.
  • Galveston North Jetty · 6.5pass jetty on a low slack tide is a secondary match.

Bonefish should be the day — the Esperanza and Culebra banks — bones and permit, not a San Juan tarpon sentence.

  • Culebra banks · 6.1hard flat on an incoming tide is a classic match.
