Today

medium

Speckled trout are in the mix — Nine Mile and the Badlands guts, not a wade across the flat. Heat is the clock — first light or last light.

7 mph SE · 1% rain · low slack

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

Where

  • TX - Mustang Island SP bayside launch · 5.8serpulid reef on a low slack tide is a workable match.
  • TX - Kaufer-Hubert Park (Baffin doorway) · 5.8serpulid reef on a low slack tide is a workable match.
