SW La canals and bayous are Muddy too. The majority of the wind the last few days has been out of the West, the beach water around Rockefellar has been chocolate. Actually had to walk/push my boat over 100 yds. to get it through a normally OK Pass, last Tuesday, 10/14. I really wasn't thinking I'd have to jump in the water butt.... I found a few fish(Trout and Reds), worked hard for them though.
There's only a few strategies that might work, look for some LONG Dead-End Oilfield canals for instance, or the protected sides of bays. Trout are very particular about when they want to eat these days. Times like this you got to "pay your dues", it don't take long to realize you shoulda stayed home but again...explore, try something new... and unlike some of the aristocrats on here, bring a cast net to catch some live bait.
