Going out there tomorrow with a few buddies. The weather is calling for 18mph SE winds, but it seems the Rigolets should be relatively protected from a wind in that direction. Tide should be rising all day (.3 ft at 12:33 am to 1.1 ft at 3:34pm), but with the SE winds today and tomorrow, I doubt there will be much movement.

Any specific bait suggestions? Any other strategies?

TIA!!

High winds = Goheagan canal and the marshes in Lake Catherine.

what meauxjeaux said and I used to do well in the canals and cuts by the railroad bridge, over 10 years ago, no idea what it looks like now. you'll find some reds and flounders hopefully

a southeast wind will move more more water on a rising tide in the rigolets. it will hold up a falling tide if strong enough.

I'm late to the party since this fella may be out on the water already but with the way the wind was lowing the last 2 days, he's got no chance in hell of finding clean water anywhere, no matter what direction or speed the wind is blowing today.

Hope he enjoys the bumpy boat ride.





(My negative assertions aside, I'd still swap with him and let him be behind this desk while I was out on the water)
