Hunted three different places in Venice
Mind if I ask how far south you went? I have been hearing the feed on the Refuge South of Raphael is almost non-existent. I was planning to hunt there Wed/Thursday but after what I saw closer to Venice I don’t think it is worth it.
We hunted around Venice proper Saturday am but the birds were so concentrated we had to join up groups. Hunted 8 people out of 2 mudboats bow to bow. We had really good cover but still had multiple flocks of Gray’s flair off right at the last second. I think that was the first and last time I hunt out of a 36’ plus blind down there. We ended up killing a typical Venice mixed bag of 38 but pulled the plug on hunting Sunday because the few birds we were sitting on got hammered all morning and afternoon by other groups.

I pirouge hunt. Two hunts off main pass one off south.
I would bet you hunt Baptiste it’s the only place I was aware of a few birds but I won’t hunt there anymore just way too many people it’s not worth it to me especially paddling in a pirouge.

I rode from Southeast Pass--to East Bay (all the way to Pilot town and across to Southwest)-- back up through Rapahel --into Main --and through to Baptiste.
The only concentrations of ducks i saw were on the North Side of Baptiste and some close to river by baptiste. (which are the only two places i saw feed).
All of the ponds south of Main Pass are mud bottoms full of white pelicans chasing mullet.
Be safe if you try to run South Pass--the dredge is sitting right in the mouth of it. (you need to approach it from the west side to go around behind it).

Another confirmation of what others are saying. Have a camp on Pass A Loutre. Feed is gone. What was left got wiped out by the tropical depression that brushed us and sent rain to Florida in October. Our dock was covered in mud indicating a small storm surge. Last couple trips have fished from southwest pass spillway all the way across to Blind Bay on east side. Sawdust Bayou had a little feed but other than there, haven't seen anything. There were 4 groups of youth in there on youth weekend. They were shooting, but I'm sure there were likely 10 groups in there this weekend. Will be fishing again this weekend. Not even bringing my duck stuff.
