It’s all about the tide on Day 2 (and 3) at the Sabine River. Here’s a look at the NOAA Tide Predictions chart for Sabine Pass, North.
High tide comes at 10:11 a.m., followed by the low tide at 4:38 p.m.
A few anglers I spoke with at weigh-in told me they favor the rising tide. If so, they were in business from the start. Most guys are running the low tide. They will have their go time during the afternoon. For them, having a late draw will be key. So will being in the right place at the right time. That’s usually an easy thing to do. You simply plan your day to arrive at specific spots when the falling water is at peak. Here, not so easy. Most of the prime areas are getting hammered by lots of anglers. So with timing will be fishing in a crowd, managing that and your fish.
With that in mind, it will be interesting to see how those later flight anglers do at weigh-in time.
