From BSM. Maybe 40 minutes?


A bit quicker if leaving from Sweetwater, but not a huge difference.

I was at Breton island last Saturday at 5:15 am (before first light) there were already over 25 boats. When we finished up a few hours later there were easily 100 boats out there.

That's insane! Seems like more and more boats every year. I fished the Tressels earlier this year and it was a boat every 25ft. Did you do any good?

Da Hammer made me think of this. If you're going to Breton, it may be better to just go to Venice. Much easier day if weather gets bad.

We fished the Delacroix marsh with Sweetwater Friday and with Bayou Charters saturday. As Webfoot said, we lmited on reds saturday with a few trout and on Friday we had 2 reds 23 trout and a limit of black Drum. Word there then was that Black Bay, Stone Island etc has been extremely muddy. Beautiful water north of there in the marsh to be found. They have stopped going after trout very much.
Among what I picked up on : little Lake, Four Horse, Pencil Canal areas . Corks and skrimps close to islands on reds and skrimps on Carolina rigs in 18' water for drum. and the occasional Red.
We found nice trout, some 2-3 lbs and little ones in a Bay that couldn't hold anymore crab traps, which was frustrating cuz every time we'd get a bite going the crabbers would blast by to, from or while checking traps. No courtesy among that bunch.
Friday, a couple of boats from Bayou ran 70 miles round trip to do little cuz of dirty water. Didn't get a report on the rocks.
As several have said earlier: If anyone is going to Breton, don't arse around anywhere else, Go straight there!

Regarding Stone island: some of you may know this, but a friend warned us if we fish there to Be extremely careful on the east side I think he said. There is a lot of obstacles down there. Ease around slowly if you get close.

Was on the rocks yesterday. Had 3 boys. Caught 30 trout in Eloi and on rocks combined. Not much size. Bite ended by 9. Bigger fish and numbers are further out in sound right now but didn't risk it yesterday with storms around and young kids on boat. Water was clean.

Where are some places the wife and I can go casting for reds, leaving from BSM? I have an 18' Xpress. I'll post pics of MarshMan's wife in exchange for sound advice

Straight south of the launch.

Or you could go to lake lery. You don't need a big boat to fish there

My gator tail is only 18 ft. I've taken it out to the mrgo rocks and as far south as oak River. You should be okay fishing just about anywhere but in the sound.

The rocks yesterday were loaded with reds anywhere from rat size to Bulls. Caught a bunch right up on the end of the short rocks.

Looks like I'll be heading out of BSM this weekend to the Breton island if the weather cooperates.

In someone else's post (maybe it was yours) last week asking about Delacroix, I said this was the EXACT situation down there and a couple people told me I was wrong. I said it was too muddy and too fresh in the outer bays thanks to the Mississippi and that the inside areas were still producing better since the bait, and henceforth the feeding fish, were "stuck" inside due to the muddy, fresher water outside...
