Vermillion bay
 

Any reports around the bay?

Rumor has it that DaPointisDaBomb has been limiting on gaff tops and drum in the pass.
Seriously, a few have been catching on the outside reefs when weather and water conditions are right. Good luck!

It's been a slow year! went last Wednesday evening, first cast I made 21" red and that was my afternoon...

terrible
 

slow slow. caught 7 flounder and 2 reds last sunday evening. then I started bass fishing in shark bayou. lol

Have heard a few reports from east side on redfish

Worst year I've had in vermillion bay. I hope things change after a few fronts!

It's all about the salinity. That's what makes or breaks the fishing. It's at an all time low for this time of year. The fronts won't help much of the water is still fresh.

Went Saturday with plans for skirting the East side of Marsh Island. Met with 15 mph winds out of the east so "Plan B" went into effect, went into the island at bird island bayou. everywhere we went there were 6" gafftops.

Wife mentioned that it didnt smell like fish in the island. soon as we got into the open heading back to the point we smelled fish. water was too rough to try so we headed in.

It's a shame to have a big body of water like V BAY and not a fish in sight!

Yep, Fresh water from the north (flood), fresh water from the east, (Atchafalaya), we dont stand a chance.

I hear caldwell is bumping

Looked up some salinity reports last week and they said 0 salinity.

We need a low pressure to push in a 3' above normal tide for a couple days to get salinity up, just outside marsh island the water is salty. I've never seen the river this low for this long and water staying fresh. only good thing that came from this is the marsh above intercostal has been holding a few sac a lait for first time since rita in numbers...

seems the trout are still offshore, I don't think it'll be too long before they move in though. There's some salt slowly creeping into the bay.

It has been reported that scientist with LA DWF have discovered a molecule of salt just west of dry reef!

LMAO

I don't care who you are....that thar's funny!

Fished ECGG, which is Eastern Ver. Bay, today, keeping 2 reds & 1 bass, tagged another 5 small reds. Wind N @ 5, water fresh and no tide. Fished 7:50 to 10:45.

Fished East side of M.I. today. Lots of dinks (and 6" gaff tops), only two keepers.

Fished weeks bay yesterday evening, 2lb blue cat 22" red and about 25 rats. had to keep reeling in lilies were hanging up in my cork!

any luck on the bass? or only joking? I've caught some pretty good ones in there before

Good one. Lol

No luck. Water was super clear

The Mississippi River in BR looked high 9/28. The Atch Basin looked low. I think maybe they have reduced flow through the Morganza Spillway to help dry out SW Louisiana. Most Pump Offs in and around Pecan Island got clobbered.

speaking of salinity, this is 2015-2016 comparison. I agree, worst year that I can remember.
