Day

Giant trevally should be the day — the lagoon is a look; the pass wants water. Work the leeward shore — fly gets harder.

21 mph SE · high slack

Where

  • Farquhar passes · 6.4pass jetty on a high slack tide is a secondary match.
  • Farquhar lagoon · 6.2hard flat on a high slack tide is a workable match.
