East Bay nudges up against a 100ft+ of clear, salty Gulf of America water. Yes, a ton of dirty river water is right there, but so is a ton of its opposite. This is what makes Venice so great to fish, and we don’t see the same fishery at the mouth of the Atchafalaya: there’s no deep Gulf water there. Outside the Atchafalaya the structure is relatively shallow and flat for miles and miles. It’s all blown out by river water.
“I am glad I posted this because I forgot about the stumps you mentioned, so definitely want to go back through that. AIS too.”
Yeah, this forum really shines when people use it. lol I know that sounds obvious, but so many folks just lurk and don’t post or make half-hearted attempts and don’t get much feedback as a result. Let your post here be an example to them.
“You told me about something at the end of SW Pass too.”
Yeah, the rocks down there could be good. Like way down at the end, on the inside, there are these jetties that stick out 90 degrees to the river and I pulled a nice speck off them last month. You can see that area in the latest video I put on YouTube (linked above) at 1:55:00
Also, I would consider figuring out cane stubble. The idea is that yards and yards of cane stubble can provide cover for bait and the trout/reds move in to take advantage. So, where is there roseau cane on GED that has disappeared over the years? Those spots could be worth looking at.
