Flood & low finder

🌊 Biggest flood tides at Zekes Island this month: Sep 9, Sep 11, Sep 12, Sep 13, Sep 27, Sep 28, Sep 29, Sep 30. These spring highs push water up into the grass and over the oyster rock; prime for poling into flooded marsh for tailing reds.

🔻 Negative (minus) low tides at Zekes Island this month: Sep 11. These drain the flats and expose the oyster rock, prime for sight-fishing and clamming.
