Day

low

Giant trevally should be the day — Ste Anne and the inner edges — a GT, not the Alphonse photograph. Work the leeward shore — fly gets harder.

18 mph SE · rain · incoming

Where

  • Ste Anne Marine Park · 5.6sand dropoff on an incoming tide is a workable match.

Tarpon should be the day — Condado and the bay — urban tarpon, then the north drop if you switched to Offshore.

10 mph ESE · incoming

Where

  • San Juan Bay · 8.1pass jetty on an incoming tide is a classic match.
  • Condado Lagoon · 7.5channel gut on an incoming tide is a workable match.
