looking for back way to big lake wiers
 

Anyone know anything about this little landing off of Hwy 27/ W Creole Hwy?
Click Here for the landing
29.8438, -93.1095

I don't want to trespass on anything but I'd like to launch here and see what I can get into.
Also, is there a special place on this board for coordinates or mapping purposes dealing with fishing spots and landings/ launches?

Don't know Dave but it looks good back there..

There is no back way to the weirs.
That is Miami property. The Miami permit is not good on that side of the road.
That is the hunters and trappers launch. You can only launch there if you have a duck lease, and only during duck season.
There is a commercial crabber who launches there also.

Anytime you see a small launch off the beaten path more than likely it is private.

There was a boat house back there before Rita.
The past judge uses that launch, and the past land manager used it too.
Most of the individuals that launched there with duck leases were ran out and the leases were changed over to clubs and large businesses.

You don't want to launch a bay boat there either.
Without a tunnel hull, go devil, mud motor or mud boat, you ain't getting far.
Lots of shallow water and deep slush. No getting out of the boat.

Everything Ray said plus that road is gated too.

Gotta run the lake!

How wide are those wiers? My boat is 8'6" wide

I made a map a few years back!!! And always wait for the question !!!!

Thanks for letting me post this!!!

(btw party barges go through the weirs ) your fine

Your boat will fit

Dave how fast is that boat

Dude that pic is funny azz hell

I'm working on the speed, but from my rookie skill level of jack plates I got it to 73. Talked to someone who got one like mine the fastest I've heard of and he told me some pointers that should get me at least to 83-85. He said the boat should go faster though. Hey, 73 is way fast enough. It don't chine walk like a v hull. Solid.
I'd be pumped to get it through the wiers. The fish master barely fit

Cotton well rd, locked gate just over bridge.
What ray said, Soupy

I went to one of the weirs once and the current and drop were so scary I chickened out and didn't try to go through. Are all the weirs the same, or is one easier to go through than another? Is there some trick to passing through, or do you just have to go for it? There were several boats back there, but my boat looked bigger, and taller than those boats.

Grand bayou is the only one open and yes it does get small the closer you get. It's like the bamboo shoot at astro world give it gas and hit the hole.

Your boat will make it, they have party barges back there !!

Tip: don't stop once you commit to going

Haha good tip, that one can bite you bad if not followed

also take your rods out of the rod holders before you go through

Keep hands, arms, feet, and trolling motor inside sides of your boat too. hammer down

And always go faster then then current is flowing when going down current. Creeping through it is not always better. Make sure that if water level is high you put windshield down if you can.
O yea one more thing. Have good insurance or a best friend that does fiberglass!!!!

Water was coming out so fast the other day the drop was so bad I had to lock my hubs on my boat to climb up.

4x4? Gotta be a Haynie...

Private launch for Miami Corp.
Do not go there Dave!!! They will make your life miserable if they catch you launching there, if you can even get to it.

Thanks for all the advice and tips! I won't go to that launch, but ones like that I find on aerials seem inviting. But I know if it doesn't look like a public landing, then it isn't. It would be nice to find a way to get a permit for some of those types of launches just for something different and exclusive. A separate saltycajun forum for coordinates could be useful, what do y'all think? I'm a draftsman and make maps, so I know I could make one that shows where the coords are for reference.

Yeah I have a buddy that has a story of all their poles snapped from a wier by not putting them down LOL. I've been in a fish master, but worried about my new one. I just payed a lot of money on fiberglass repairs from the previous owner and am trying to hold off on putting my own damage. Why did they make those wiers so small??
