My buddy smoked the bass and reds there last weekend. Limited on both.

He says this weekends tide isn't any good so he isn't going.
My question to the OB - is a bad tide enough to shut a good bite off completely?

Few of my buddies caught 3 limits of specks in under 2 hours on Tuesday and Wednesday morning. They were with a guide using live shrimp if I had to take a wild guess.

No. You just have to work a little harder. You may not limit out, but you can find them. Look for moving water and bait...

speaking in regards to bass only... tide def affects the bass bite in delacroix, they'll be more spread out without tide but can definitely still be caught

Ive limited out on specks and reds in Reggio with a slack tide all weekend. You just have to find water movement.

It absolutely is . Some wind may help the cause but no wind no tide in the marsh canals means play golf for me.

The tide definitely helps, but you can find fish right now without one.

Vudu Shrimp has worked well for us lately down there

For best results there on bass and trout, and most coastal places, water movement of some type is always best. A predicted slack tide but wind driven water movement can be good. If the wind has been howling out of the east or SE the water will be coming in and you can catch em good even in slack tide.

We fished Monday morning with Bayou Charter with not much water movement and only caught 16 trout. Very nice trout and a bunch of throw backs. Got on the reds and missed 2 getting a 3 man limit. Also caught a bunch of throwback reds too.
A friend fished with BC Tuesday and didn't find trout but caught a large box of reds and Drum.

Checked on Sweetwater Marina's site: Jack caught had clients that limited in the morning and another group in the evening.That was Tuesday. TRout. Don't know how the water was then.

I can't speak to the bass but the Reds can be caught. Find moving water like others have said. I'd search points and cuts where water is flowing in or out.
