Point Au Fer Shell Reefs

Been out that way a few times, but it always seemed like the water was dirty. Usually there are bunches of boats anchored up fishing what I assume is live bait.

I have been fishing at Point Au Fer for 40+ years, in particular Locust Bayou and going west. Generally the fishing is better on an outgoing tide. I fish with dead shrimp on the bottom but do use a cork on occasion. I usually fish mouths of sloughs, reefs and points of land. Too numerous to describe here, you need to be shown the areas.


What I have found is a north wind is bad. Brings in a lot of dirty water and usually rough conditions. In the winter I fish the canals on the inside of the island.
