Taking my 24 ft Tideline to the tarpon rodeo next week and hoping to avoid trailering from Venice to GI. I am very familiar with Venice but have not spent much time on the west side of the river north of Red Pass. Thinking it might make sense to run up the river to Empire and then across behind the islands if its rough that day. Is there an inside route from Empire to Grand Isle that's easy to run?

I have a Florida marine tracks east Louisiana chip in my plotter. I emailed them and they said there was one marked on the chip but figured somebody here might have better info.
