Tides today per Tide-Forecast.com: low at 12:24am hittin' 2.4ft, high at 6:42am crestin' 6.6ft, droppin' to a fishy -1.5ft low around 2pm, then risin' again. Sunrise at 6:58am, sunset 5:03pm—plenty of daylight to chase 'em.

Fish are fired up! 976-TUNA reports Pursuit out of 22nd Street Landing nabbed calico bass, bonito, and a big sheephead yesterday.
