Day

medium

Speckled trout should be the day — push Barataria and the bayside grass — trout first, reds on the drain later.

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

Where

  • Caminada Pass · 7.8pass jetty on a incoming tide is a classic match.
  • Grand Isle State Park · 7.4sand dropoff on a incoming tide is a workable match.
  • Barataria bayside · 7.4marsh drain on a incoming tide is a workable match.

Day
