re: Poling skiffs in Louisiana

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.
