Hey Jacob–I live in Lafayette and fish Vermillion Bay a fair bit. I guide fly fishing trips for redfish part time, so I haven’t been chasing specks lately. That said, a few suggestions to come to mind. It looks like a good strong falling tide Saturday, with low tide around 12:30. If I was out chasing specks, I would target drains and points. Drains like mouth of Shark Bayou or Bayou Pierre, or if you wanted to launch at Burns Point, you could hit up some of those good marsh drains just north of there, like British American canal or Yellow Bayou. I’ve also heard reports of people catching limits of specks at points in the Hammock.

If you want to target some reds/flounder, I’d try fishing the Blue Point shoreline from Bayou Pierre up to the end of the shoreline where it opens to Vermillion Bay. I find a lot of reds along the shoreline east of Bird Island Bayou at Marsh Island. If all else fails, you can hit up some of the crowded community holes (the Cove, Trash Pile, Avery Canal, etc).
