V Bay........anybody been lately?
 

I'll be going to the camp all weekend and I'm gonna do a little fishing. Has anybody been lately or know how the water has been. Has anyone caught any reds lately?

wish i could help you out , i never fished there but i did hear a man talking bout marsh island.

Think you should be able to catch some REDS....
I do not think trout fishing will be good for a while...

yeah, I always have pretty good luck fishing the marshes in Marsh Island, but I'd rather not go all the way to the Island if I can help it.

Yeah i'll be after the red's............the water is way too fresh this time of year for specs. I mainly just want to go wet a line with my little boy.

I think by the time the river goes down and the freshwater leaves.......it will be time to head for the rigs....

Hit up trash pile, I know a few people that have had some luck there. I'm hoping to try and make a trip over the weekend if the wind isn't too bad.

Ask longsidelandry, he lives real close to V Bay

Maybe I'll see ya out there..............I hit the trash pile almost every time I fish in V.Bay

Sounds like a winner, what kinda boat you have? I have a 16' Alumicraft with a 60 yamaha

Marsh island is almost a sure thing for reds,I might go again this weekend.

I'll most probably be in a 17' bass boat with a 90 merc.

10-4, I'll keep an eye out if I can get out there. I'll probably go for a little while Saturday morning. I'm leaving at noon to go to the LSU baseball game so it'll be a short morning.

Just make sure you bring some stink crickets,the water looks like yahoo.

:confused::confused:What is that? Shrimp?

Yes sir! :D

Never leave home without them!!!! :D Especially in V Bay, at least you can load up on some croaker if nothing else is biting.

:confused::confused:What is that? Shrimp?

oops.......I have no idea why it posted twice like that

talked to someone a couple weeks ago when we had some south winds and he said he limited out on specs two days in a row. Was back for 10:00. He fished out the pass around Tee Butte. Check your satellite pictures. If pretty water moves in, I hear you can catch them.

talked to a buddy this morning. he fished the bay sunday. No good water any where. Best bet would be to fish the island. I heard a couple reports the last couple on days!

Where would I go to check out satellite pics for Tee Butte or any other areas. Thanks...

Water looks a "little stained" huh?, You don't realize how much water these rivers push out till you see it when it's high & muddy on sat image.

The water out of the pass looks decent....the bay was a mess when we went sunday,but the reds are still biting if you have shrimp.

http://www.esl.lsu.edu/imagery/modis...ll&sattype=all here is the one I was looking for,shows the whole gulf coast.

Thanks Montauk....pretty cool......

No problem...looks like the water is clearing up around the pass. Too bad the river is about to rise again.

looks like that greenish water almost made it to cove today.

Think I might make a run saturday I will let yall know whats going on out there.

I've always heard if you go far enough in the gulf you can catch trout year round in the Eugene isle blocks......any truth to that???

Yep....the river can still make that area fresh.It won't be long untill the rigs start turning on untill the river goes up soon. I have only fished out there a few times as I dont have a boat big enough. With the river at 11 foot there should be some trout around tee butte and diamond.

man, montauk,you transformed overnight.lol. I might go run my boat this afternoon. Prolly bring some fishing poles too.:D Ill try and post up when I get back.

If you know where the old sunken shrimp boat is at marsh island east of bayou michael....thats where we caught most of the reds last weekend. There is a good shell bottom in that area. Let me know whats up out there,Im planing on going tomorrow.

looks cool the chlorophyll chart should help for vbay

anyone know of any free ones like this?

I have caught my biggest trout at Tee Butte in late may. Best to go during the week if you dont want to fight the idiots anchoring 10 feet from you. I had a guy 2 years ago pass over my anchor rope and cut it with his prop. Karma came only a few seconds later when the idiot smoked the reef with his prop and knocked his entire motor out of the water. My best trip here produced 2 six pounders and 3 five pounders but trips like that are few and far between.

which reef do you like best the first or the second?

Last few summers I went out there we always did better on the second reef. Almost all the way to the bank on the tail end of a incoming tide.

The second usually does not have nearly as many people on it but all I have ever really caught there were reds and a few smaller trout. I have dont alot better about 50 yards off the south end of the 1st reef. The second reef is where I watched the guy smoke his motor on the reef on the high tide. You can see the reef start on the bank and come out, freakin idiot:work:.

I always wanted to try Diamond reef to the east of the pass but never went that way. Any of you ever fish it?

Diamond reef is just as good as tee butte or better. Fish that area on a incoming tide with a southwest or south wind.

yeah, diamond is huge,found a little reef ditch that produces most of the time there when the water is right.

Take it wide out of the pass........its shallow over there

water is nasty and the wind is kickin right now. the marsh in shark island is clean but cant even find a hard head.
