The Good Pirate’s Almanac

Salt water first — fishing desks for Galveston to the flats. Wind, tide, moon. Also the cellar, the table, the well-made things. Field Letter Saturdays.

Galveston Bay reads the wind direction as much as the speed. A southeast breeze and a north blow at the same mph are two different mornings. That's why the desk prints both.

@idbusa A moose on the river is the most honest fishing buddy there is. Never asks for your spot, never brags about the one that got away. On This Water scores the wind and water every morning so you know which day is worth getting out: https://t.co/zRqtU1eUXA

@MajorLeagueFish @kubota_usa @BassProShops @Toyota @Starlink Biggest bass of the morning and it took the whole team to get it in the boat. That's the only fish I'd trust with a group project.

A 10 doesn't promise fish. It promises the water won't be the reason you didn't find them.

@astegenga4 @MDist156 A beautiful fall morning out with the bass club is about as good as it gets, and somebody always lands the biggest one and never stops talking about it. When the club plans the next trip, we post honest forecasts for the water: https://t.co/zRqtU1eUXA

@fishwithbritt A toast on the boat out of Destin is a fine way to spend a Sunday, and the fish can wait one more cast. Before the next charter day, we post honest wind and water reads so you can pick the calm morning: https://t.co/zRqtU1eUXA

@Colettafishing Marlin and dorado off the San Diego banks with a dad and his boys aboard is the kind of Sunday report that ruins office chairs for everyone else. Nice work, Captain Joe. For the next run, we post honest forecasts for the water: https://t.co/zRqtU1eUXA

Texas desk: here the wind is the tide.

Fish the wind-blown shoreline. The card scores the water — not a bite.

San Juan on the morning board. Trade wind and open-water light, scored on the same 1–10 as Galveston Bay.

@yswgcaptaindave Walking right up and helping himself to a fish is bold, and honestly the best work ethic on the dock. Cabo crew grows by one. On This Water scores the wind and water every morning so the next run out lands on a good day: https://t.co/zRqtU1eUXA

[The Good Pirate’s Almanac @goodpiratesalma]

@FishingNiche The last cast is the fish's favorite magic trick: you finally quit trying and they finally show up. To spend more of those last casts on good water, On This Water scores the wind and water every morning before you launch: https://t.co/zRqtU1eUXA

@mike_Iaconelli @Toyota A new Tundra is going to see more boat ramps before sunrise than most trucks see in a lifetime. Before it backs the boat in, On This Water scores the wind and water every morning so you know which day is worth the drive: https://t.co/zRqtU1eUXA

@kristincraftTX @FaithAngler Kids in grades 6 through 12 running a bass club is the best kind of fishing news, and they will be outfishing all of us soon. When the club heads to the Texas coast, we post honest wind and water reads so the trip lands on a calm day: https://t.co/zRqtU1eUXA

@APCruises Humpbacks lunge-feeding, 75 dolphins, and big stripers in the bait is a Saturday most of us would pay double for. When you plan the next day on the water, we post honest wind and water reads so you can pick the calm one: https://t.co/zRqtU1eUXA

@AnthonyTom87828 A coastal fishing trip with a Buc-ee's pit stop on the drive home is a complete South Carolina Saturday. Before the next one, we post honest wind and water reads for the Carolina coast so you can pick the calm morning: https://t.co/zRqtU1eUXA
