Chef Pass with a 15MPH East wind?
Posted by fishing1 on 9/30/17 at 10:37 am
I was planning on going fishing around chef pass tomorrow - inside the marshes off the intercoastal and also the bank of lake borgne going up towards alligator point / alligator bend.
With a 15MPH East wind tomorrow, what type of conditions should I expect? Along that side of the bank is usually pretty protected, but I don't ever remember going out with more than a 10MPH wind and never directly East.

Thought people here might enjoy this one:

It is not me in the video, found it searching the other day though.

Shallow and grassy except between the pipes. About a foot and less in places. I trolled mostly, but did have to break out the push pole at one point.
Thanks. I may have to get over my hesitance of really shallow water (boat drafts 12") and start using a push pole versus trying to troll everywhere

Checked it out at lunchtime. Lost a trout, threw back a 15" red, and caught a lunch bass and a nice red. It was worth a try.
nice work!
mind saying the depth getting in? I am wondering if it was just really shallow when I tried

When I first moved out to the Chef I took my woman and a bottle of wine on a sunset cruise to the mouth of Chef at Lake P. On the way back, in the dark, I thought I was taking that curve of Chef back to Venetian Isles, but ended up in Crab Trap pond. Didn't notice I had effed-up until we smelled marsh mud. She was really impressed with my prop cleanin and push polin skills.
That is pretty amazing. :rotflmao:
When I tried to scope it out, the water went from 20 feet deep to 1 foot deep in about 3 seconds... Would love to hear a report if you fish it.

So normally pretty shallow but clear?

Crab traps often mark a channel for you.
Sorry, I was referring to what is normally called "crab trap pond" near where chef pass runs into Lake P.
fishing crab trap pond? depth?

Is crap trap pond knowing for fishing? Tried to go in there recently, but it was really really shallow. Less than a foot in most of the entrance. Is it usually deeper?
fog sucks.. anyone fish near chef pass / intercoastal this morning?
Posted by fishing1 on 12/26/16 at 1:48 pm
and have any luck? Couldn't see further than 10 feet past the boat for a while in the morning. Hid in canals and turnoffs until it passed, but that took until almost noon.

Just go fishing dude. If someone asks you to leave just say you're sorry and move along quietly.
This was my plan actually, just was confused how that particular area could be private.

ishing1, I have a question for you.
How did you come about to start suddenly getting into fishing so much without much prior experiences?
Retired?
Major lifestyle change?
Divorced?
Said screw it?
Just curious, because I am jealous.
Went fishing all the time as a kid/teen with my dad and his friends. Then didn't fish at all during college and while getting my career going. Now have career going and the time and money to sustain originally buying a boat, maintaining it, all the gear needed, etc.
Making up for lost time! I still know how to fish well, the boating aspect is my huge learning curve currently.
This board has been incredibly helpful though with all the local areas and my endless stupid questions.
Is the canal right next to the L&N train bridge really private?
Posted by fishing1 on 12/7/16 at 8:23 am
Was fishing the L&N train bridge recently, and then after wanted to go through a canal/cut right next to it and saw it was marked private. I know that many places are private but I was really confused how the land that holds the bridge could be privately owned.
The canal I am talking about can be seen in these google maps screenshot:
It is in the bottom left of the picture right under the bridge. On each side of the entrance are two private property signs.
Does a private citizen really own the land that holds the bridge and the marsh on the other wise that google cals 'catfish point'?

I like launching BSM. Can have a lot longer line but plenty parking and if your boat is light you might have trouble putting it back on the trailer at Campo's ... the water can flow pretty strong by Campo's launch w/o a pier sticking out to help guide you
This is good to know. We normally launch at pretty protected spots. My boat isn't the smallest - 19 foot bay boat, ~1300lbs, but definitely not the biggest either.

You can launch from Brenton Sound Marina and fish Lena Lagoon and the SE part of St Malo . This is what I did when I first got my boat and didn't know my way around.
I might just do this! Thanks for the idea

I'm not too familiar with the area, but I've found it always helps to get on Google earth's historical imagery and look for times with a strong north wind. There will hardly be any water and you can see which bayous are silted in and which ones have good current.
Thanks. I didn't realize Google earth had the historical view!
Mapping out shell beach - st malo through lena lagoon?
Posted by fishing1 on 12/5/16 at 12:48 pm
So first - thanks everyone for the help yesterday about launching from Bayou Segnette. I am planning on fishing 5-6 trips over the next 2-3 weeks and that will definitely be one of them now.
To today's question - I have never been to shell beach, but want to go there on a trip soon. I was looking at the map, and I plan to launch from Campo's marina. For a relatively short/close trip through the marsh, I was looking at:
- Launching from campos
- Going into Bayou St. Malo from Lake bornge
- After getting out of the main St. Malo run, then fishing on the trolling motor on the way to lena lagoon (heading south). It looks like there a few ways that Malo connects to Lena lagoon and they look wide enough that they shouldn't be incredibly shallow
- Fish through Lena lagoon to the end by the mrgo
- take the mrgo back to the launch
Does this plan sound reasonable? Will there be a bunch of boats running at speed through st malo that would mess up trolling through there?
Thanks for any help.

re: Lake Cataouatche from Bayou Segnette launch?
Posted by fishing1 on 12/4/16 at 9:20 pm to BeauxNArreaux
Thanks BeauxNArreaux,
I really want to explore all over - i have heard around the island is good, fishing the shoreline of Lake C is good and also the tank ponds. I know I can't fish all 3 in a day but was trying to find a launch spot that could make it work.
I have a 19 foot bay boat, it can't handle huge waves, but a light chop I can still run decent.
I also heard that Pier 90 floods alot and is hard to launch from. Is that not true?

don't mind hijacks at all since it helps me understand better too. Where is the gulf canal?

Thanks!
I still get confused by the difference between marsh, bayou, canal, and all the other terms for bodies of water that look exactly the same to me..
