7-day fishing planner
Each day’s tides, light and solunar windows. Stars are a simple outlook from moon phase and how well the windows line up with dawn and dusk — a planning aid, not a promise of fish. How we calculate this.

Slack water & tidal currents
Nearest NOAA current prediction station: Poplar Island, east of south end (ACT6046, 2.2 km away). Slack water is when the current turns and is weakest; it often lags the high or low tide by minutes to hours, so check the current station rather than the tide.
