Cato's Bridge is looking pretty murky today, definitely on the Poor to Fair side. The recent 1.43 inches of rain has really stirred up the river runoff, which is the main culprit for the poor conditions we often see in this brackish zone. The estimated visibility today is 0-5 ft, and with the tide still rising and 5.1 hours until the next slack, those strong currents will continue to push that cloudy water around.
