When the moon is full and the king tides of the fall run high, the spartina grass will flood on Florida’s First Coast. The high water in the marsh allows redfish to access flats that are rarely under water. This phenomenon has a positive effect, providing the reds new real estate to hunt in and added items to their menu. This same flood tide that covers our tall grass and mangrove trees has a directly inverse effect on birds of the marsh such as the Clapper Rail, better known as the Marsh Hen. The high tide reduces most of their cover that they use to hide in when it floods. The result is a concentration of the birds that makes them possible to hunt effectively and kicks off a seasonal southern tradition as well. Editorial StaffNov 4th, 2025
