My only problem with it is I don't know where to fish reds with it. The only place I ever fish reds is cocodrie by our camp almost in lake pelto. It's hard to find clean water out that way in the winter. I guess I need to learn lake Boudreaux, pac for the reds.
Do y'all find fishing broken Marsh, main canals or bay shorelines to produce more?

I find that a lot of times it's tough to find really good water in that area, I run up on it sometimes, but I have yet to really get in some clear flats like the ones I've seen in Hopedale.

If you have a place in Cocodrie you are in some of the best sight casting water in the state. The marsh holds the same caliper redfish as hopedale but without all the out of state guides. A lot of guides moved their operation out of Hopedale and over to Cocodire, and they didn't do it to chase slot reds, they did it for the bulls.
To sight fish PAC in that boat you're going to want to hang out on the edges of the marsh. You may be able to get deeper into the marsh when the water is up. That hull is far better suited to chase bigger fish.
Boudreax is good, quitman is good, there is some stellar fishing just a few miles to the east. Everything between china island and coco marina, to the south, holds fish and crystal clear water. Those areas were shallow broken marsh drains into more open lakes should suit you just fine in that boat. You have the ability to makes that run, so make it.

Clear brackish water can be found on the north side of Lake Boudreaux easily. Lots of big mullet fed reds there. Big orange pumpkins floating in black water. You just have to know how to fish grass. Great place to pole grass flats.
PAC is awesome too. Leave the PAC marina and head left (northeast). About a mile and a half up, the marsh gets deep enough. There's a canal to your right. Once in that canal, all the marsh to the left holds big reds. Lots of other places as well, but that one always was good.
Cocodrie is great to fish, but anything on the montegut side does get murky with a 5 mph wind. I still fished there mostly since that's where the camp was, but it was just trolling motor. In those other places, I can pole into a small pond, set my power pole and cast from the platform for 5 minutes seeing reds all over the ponds. Had to be a accurate cast with all the grass though.
