Also my boat does have higher sides then your typical mud rig, 24”. Hopefully if I go I’ll have a buddy with a bay boat with us or be able to link up with some buddies with a camp down that way so I could follow them down.

Thanks for all the help. To clear things up, I’ve been to Venice multiple times but It was always in a offshore boat when we were running in to refuel from the tuna grounds. I’m from south Alabama and have been in rough conditions before and know what to watch out for.
By no means will I be at the ramp with it soup thick fog and high tail it down the river. If we go we will have all the safety equipment (sat phone, Epirb) to do it and probably leave after daylight each day.
Currently I haven’t been able to get in touch with fish and wildlife due to holiday hours but will retry later in the week. There has been some very solid advice given in this thread which I thank everyone for.
I understand the risks and am not even going to drive to Venice unless conditions are favorable.

Is atchafalaya delta any less sketchy trek then Venice? I realize you have to cross the ICW which is heavily trafficked by oil supply boats but I imagine it won’t be as bad the Mississippi.
On the fog is it persistent only when it’s warmer weather out or is there pretty much full time?
I understand a duck isn’t worth dying for by any means maybe it’s best I get one of my buddies with a bay boat to tag along and we can just drag the mud boat behind us.

Thanks for the help. I will look into Baptist Collete further and make some phone calls tomorrow.
I’ll update this thread for anyone else also curious. Glad to help anyone with these answers that seem fairly hard to find.

Educate me on alternate routes then running straight down the Mississippi River then? It seems I’m not the only one attempting this and seems people do it pretty often..
Have never ran a aftermarket exhaust on my mud motors. Never saw the point and the newer generation have become decently quiet. Not trying to piss anyone off just want to shoot some ducks
Another thing is that the even the 35 HP mud motor is the exact same engine block as the 993CC on my 40 HP. The 40 and 37 HP just tuned for a little more horsepower due to EFI. Seems this is just a good way to keep people from hunting I guess, frustrating to say the least
I’m not unfamiliar with rough water, we will be well equipped if we decide to run down there.
Might start off with Atchafalaya delta as it isn’t the mighty Mississippi. Just need to call and figure the deal on if I can even attempt to hunt it. Can you elaborate on the parish owned land? I didn’t realize that was a thing and if that’s what I need to do to hunt down there then I’ll look into it further just don’t know where to start

The 36 HP regulation is kind of beyond me. I could understand if you’re going to regulate it down to 25 HP like other wma’s in the state.. I mean most mud motors now a days are 37 Hp efi engines. I will definitely give them a call tomorrow.
On another note if anyone has WMA suggestions that I would be okay on please let me know. Not asking for any spots just trying to shoot some ducks and willing to put the time in to figure it out

Hi, I have a 1854 Gatortail with a 40HP GTR surface drive on it.
I’ve always wanted to hunt down that way but when reading the regulations it says there is a 36 HP limit on the wma. I’m not opposed to a short Pirogue in if I can park my mud boat at a creek or ditch.
Is this possible to run mud boat over 36 HP down and stay in navigable waterways and use the pirogue to hunt out of is it a hard restriction on the whole area? I really don’t understand what the 4 extra horsepower is going to do over a 36 but would like to do everything legally.
Same question applies to the Delta NWR as well.
Any help would be appreciated.. Also I understand the risks of running the river but I believe my boat can handle it as long as I’m not going when it’s a hard south wind or blowing 25+.
