Seems to me that according to this chart that the tides should have been just about perfect for a heavy fall pulling water out of the marsh this morning. As high tide of 2.3ft occurred at 3.50am.... and low tide is a 0.6 at 12:58.


I am asking because it seems like i always get myself confused with when the tides are going to be moving good. I know that big lake itself and places in the rock are going to have a delay from what is posted for calc pass... but is it that much?

Add six hours to that.

Why do i need to add 6 hours? because of the delay in the water moving from the pass to the actual lake?

Water was higher on outside of wier, your probably right!

Don't even have to go to weirs....fishing has been on fire outgoing tide past 2 evenings from turners to prien. Shrimp bustin all over Prien

If u want shrimp just go cast net at the bayou d inde weir.


Most of my money is spent on fishing, fishing tackle, & boats... The rest is wasted.

^^^ all this means nothing!!!

Use Live data and u will see the tide is way above normal and falling late

Shrimp were huge.

Caught some reds and flounder behind the weirs in the marsh. Only caught one slot reds others were big nasty's. Guys fishing at the signs were hammering the reds.

Me and Josh went this morning. Water at Spicers was almost to the top of the dock. About a 2' difference between lake and marsh. Water was pouring into marsh. Threw net for about 2 hours for 6 lbs maybe. Headed home about 1030 and tide was screaming out in lake. Still coming in at Grand.

Can i go with ya?

well looking at this i would say that the tide data i posted is about right then... high tide did occur sometime between midnight and 6am so the 3:50am was in the right area. and therefore tide should continue falling till sometime around 1-3pm

with the delay of the distance to the marsh i think i am starting to get it a bit more.

When we left Spicers about 615, tide was rolling in. Got to supercut and tide was dead.

Where is bayou d inde weir? I've heard that place mentioned a few times. Is it by the 210 bridge, if you are coming from the casino after the bridge on the right?

As mentioned before crabs were on the small side. Didn't start catching shrimp until about 11 and most throws only yielded 2-3 per throw, if any. They were 16-20s though. Threw from 9 to 530 to get a limit of shrimp. Redfish action was excellent, but couldn't catch one under 27 inches.

Weirs will close tomorrow at sunset!!
