Day

low

Sailfish are in the mix — the Cancún / Mujeres bank — sail on the current, not a bonefish morning. Work the leeward edge — troll if the fly will not go.

    Day

    medium

    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.
