The area I call the rock pile is just outside the pass before you get to tee butte. Princess ditch is the first cut on the right in west cote blanche bay if your coming from the ivanhoe canal.

and what is the commercial canal in the northeast corner of Vbay near weeks island??? saw that in the article also

What is the rock pile? a reef?

rock pile is a pile of rocks that kinda make a jetty if you will, running out vertically from the bank. Most of the time it is out of the water.

ok, that is right when you get out of the pass on your right, correct?

It's a little ways to the west,just before tee butte. Sportsman has an article about what?

commercial canal = port of iberia canal from port of iberia to the bay.

i remember a few years ago when the sportsman ruined spanish lake with one of those 'fishing reports' lol

I didn't read the article but these spots are no secret...comparing it to a small lake is not the same at all.

That's y I read LSM to cross spots of my list for the next trip. I say give them cords too. Let them throw anchors at each other and scare the fish too me.

good luck with that. lol

So you think fishing with a rod n reel can delete a population of fish in an open bay and gulf system? :shaking:

no, i think a person running their mouth off about a spot, or a article in a magazine doing the same thing, causes a mass rush of idiots to said spot and ruins it. seen it a bunch of times, fresh or salt water.

if you can't understand that, please post up your favorite spots on here so everybody can go catch a boatfull of fish. i mean, since it doesn't harm the fish population in a open bay and gulf system. lol

What other spots are mentioned in this article? The spots already mentioned are far from being a secret. Hell on google maps you can see 15 or so boats sitting on the rock pile. The vbay area is massive...like you said articles attract a crowd therefore keeping other spots not mentioned wide open.

lol yeah you sure can... thats funny

sorry, i was not refering to the story on sw pass specifically. guess i'm still butthurt about the lowlife who posted my reef numbers in the newspaper several years ago and ruined the best spot i ever found in the bay.
guess i just need to buy some good binoculars and look for boats catching fish, like alot of the folks do nowadays. :)

I do agree without a doubt trout fishermen are the most unsportsman fishermen on the water. I gotten to where I might trout fish 3-4 times a year. I rather the peace of chasing redfish or bass n sacalait away from crowds.

So, you found a reef no one else knew about?

It's getting crazy. I want to take a offshore gig ( which I hate ) just to fish during the week.


"Its Just a Ride "

nope. but in several years of fishing it, never saw a boat on it.
i wouldn't fish it on weekends, and would put the pole down when gawkers pass by. my old buddy who crabs for a living showed it to me.

there ain't no secret spots in the bay, no doubt. but there is a a big differance between fishing the trashpile with all the idiots and fishing a small living reef way out in the middle of nowhere with little to no pressure.

i don't plan on going out there any time soon. just asking to know. but, i am sure some people will be out there this weekend due to the article. Hey its public water, and the magazine has to make their money. I just prefer to fish somewhere where i know the water will be salty when i show up, LOL
