Is there any way you can get to the rocks on the Gulf side of the island? I think those and the surf could be more productive, and it’s gonna lay down.

Yeah, I would definitely go there. Fish the rocks furthest away from the beach and the beach itself. I’ve seen kayakers do it, so there’s no reason why you can’t. Paddling through the pass might be a effort in futility going the wrong way. Porting over the island could require less effort.

The well heads north of the rocks are worth trying, too.
Sorry I’m making so many replies, this stuff just comes to me as I go to leave the forum and suddenly think of stuff you may wanna know. lol

That break in the island between 3 and 4 is worth looking at.
-
If you have steal leader, bring it for spanish macks and blue fish.

You’ll see them in the 1998 imagery.
The path you see below is in the IF101 Student .KML File, downloadable here. It marks the rocks and I’ve used it multiple times and it’s dead nuts on.
It’s titled “UW Rocks” in the folder “Timbalier Island Rocks”.

There’s about 5-7ft of water over the topmost part of the rocks IIRC.
I know people tear up the trout there, I’ve never had a good trip, however. It’s always been sharks, bull reds, rays, blue fish, pretty much anything but a mess of trout. lol

AdministratorMay 30, 2025 at 9:43 pm in reply to: New Reef in Lake Pontchartrain (where is it?)That’s a good link to have bookmarked, but Goose Point isn’t in there (yet). It was the first place I looked, actually.
And that list isn’t complete, I know there’s one AR in EBM that’s not in there. If you guys want it, I can go dig up the coordinates for it.
-
Yeah, there’s literally beached boats on GED imagery there lol
Just don’t be retarded and you’ll be okay.
Given your track record (good), I think you’ll be alright.
-
Ahhhh you beat me to it.

“I’m using this planning post as a float plan. If I don’t post a fishing report by Monday come look for me.”
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Okay, good to go on the VHF radio, that’s a start.

Look at a depth chart for the area and you have 100ft-200ft of water right there. That’s not filled from top to bottom with river water. It’s Gulf of ‘Murica water.
Think of it like an exhaust pipe. If you put your face directly into the pipe then you are gonna breathe all that nasty exhaust. But if you stand off to the side (where there’s far more fresh air mixing in) you will only smell the exhaust and not be suffocated by it.
The Mississippi River is that exhaust pipe, the GOA is the rest of the open air around it.

I can confirm that route, maybe just don’t come off plane until you’re past that sandbar. It gets like 2ft.
