The day the front comes through, stay home and fix your tackle. The day after, be at the dock before me.
Captain Lena Marsh, Reef and River Charters, a fictional captain
We asked the captains in this guide, who are fictional, for the one thing they tell every new angler, and this is the line we would print on a T-shirt. The front stacks the water and the fish; the wind that brings it makes the inlet unsafe for a day. The real captains on the coast say the same thing in different words, usually at four in the morning.
