That makes a bunch of sense, thanks for taking the time to draw that up. I hear about fishing the spillways but never exactly knew how to do it.
I’m going to head down there a few more times before Christmas, so I’m looking forward to learning more.
I was getting to the bottom in those 40 foot areas with a 1oz, but I kept breaking lines. It’s a real trick to learn how to fish bottom and don’t get stuck every five minutes.

Just so you know, my last 4 or 5 redfish trips out of Delacroix have been pretty good, and what changed for me was finally getting a new trolling motor and learning how to use it. We just bounced around from each land mass that had any water moving around it. If we put 8 in the boat, we fished 30 spots. We never caught more than 2 at anyone spot, never found them stacked up, just 1 or 2 here and there. It’s a real challenge sometimes to find moving water, sometime the wind is the best you got. It seems that slack tide lasts a long time back there
I hope that helps.
I fished Baptiste Collete Friday in Venice, and there I caught my 4 in only two spot, and I could see one spot from the other one. Just a cut that water was moving around.

We probably saw each other, I was fishing the Head of passes from about 7:30 to 9:30. First time there so I didn’t know if the conditions were to be considered good or bad. All I did was break lines for a couple hours.
I went down to the first spillway around 10am but didn’t go in very far.
Question: when you say you fished the spillways, do you go in and run around or are you saying you’re in the river throwing into the cut? I didn’t fish the cut because the water is just screaming through there, I didn’t think you could catch anything in that current.

Dude, I’ve limited out the last four times in the area of R1-4 and R22. We just bounced around and hit moving water around points, which was challenging a couple times. Only once or twice did we pull in three or four from the same spot, a lot of one and two’s, so don’t hover too long. Gets shallow out there on low tide. Kill it!

You and me both! I have pretty much the same plan. I’m going to have a couple drop shots rigged up, some corks in case I see some birds, and some jigs. I’m going to bring some dead shrimp in case I want to go for some reds on the way back.
I only have a 90 Yamaha with an 18′ War Eagle so I couldn’t keep up, but we should exchange phone numbers for safety and/or to share info when we’re out there.
I’m going to spend the night Thursday and then again on Friday

The red X marks a channel that is blocked. It look like a great shortcut and then it breaks your heart, and your lower unit on a low tide.
It’s a heckuva run and you’re going to pass over a lot of redfish to get there. That’s a couple hours of driving where you cold be fishing. Watch the low tides, as always.

That’s going to be real tough and probably be close to an hour run depending on what size boat you have. Give me a minute and I’ll draw you one up, because I’ve done that run in reverse, launching out of Delacroix to fish Lake Ameda for trout. It’s a tough run with a lot of small channels. I need to do in on my work computer, so give me like 10 minutes

Thanks for that. I’ll do that tomorrow morning on my work computer because I don’t know how to draw on my iMac. Good call
