Will be launching at the mouth of the Tchefuncta in a little flat boat. We have 10 traps to set out, where would you put them?

well make sure you go straight out into the lake for at least a half a mile before you turn, shite gets down to 2 feet and it will bend up your prop blade

Be very carefull with a flat boat in the lake. If you can get out, look for other crab trap, sometimes I think you could walk across Manchac Pass due to all the buoys...

Rookie. Stumps everywhere over there



But we always go that way in the flat boat, but at a slow speed. We have some redfish honey holes along the shore out the mouth. Best part is that normal sized boats can't get there

i wouldn't even call it straight out, its more like you have to hang a fricking straight right for a mile before you turn.

Yea, if you have a boat over 18ft with a 115 or more on the back, definitely follow the channel markers a half mile right before heading into the lake. I've seen too many ppl run straight out and knock the transom off by hitting submerged stumps

Find crab bouy in lake, check trap, move in to next one and try not to get shot.
