Old Bent Well / Tiger Shoal Coords ???
 

We used to massacre the trout at the old bent well head Southwest of tiger shoals years ago. They pulled it out but I am sure the spot is still solid. If anyone has the coords. to it please PM them to me if possible. I marked it one day when we were leaving and it was within sight but never right on it. Lesson learned out there....mark the exact spot...you never know !

pm me as well please. cant find the shoals as well.

LOL.. Good luck

Yes everybody pm me all the good wellheads that have been taken down in the last 10 years please

That spot and another couple are the only ways we can get away from the crowds some times. People are tight lipped when it comes to that. Good luck, but your best bet is to get out there and wait for someone to pull up on it.

what is left there to hold trout? Did they have shell pads?

I was telling a good friend about that well head just the other day. I wasn't sure if they pulled it out or not. I wish they would stop pulling out all prime fish habitat. Glad I have the coordinates in my GPS .

Yes there are shell pads.

I'll send it over, any other coords you need?

Instead of making you sort through your list, just send me everything you have. ill just pick and choose the ones i need.

You talking about the missle??? That's what we call it
If so, it's still there, has a big jack up rig on it right now though.
If you go ride by that big jack up, you can still see it!!!

I work in this field and every summer we're pulling more and more of these wells out of the water. Pretty soon, they'll all be gone!

He better call Capt Paul!

Ha. Please list your top 5 vBay spots and coordinates. Taking kids next week and want to put them on fish.

looks like cpt paul already posted everything on the other site!!!!!!

Yes, but which one is the Bent Well?
 

Helpful info from Capt. Paul, I have his Edge chip for the Verm Bay area, but I wonder which one is the Bent Well? Maybe I'll ask him to see if he responds.

Not only a shell pad that comes up 3 ft off the bottom but a bunch of oyster pads surround it. Most of the well heads that have been in tiger shoals for 20 plus years have oysters all around them. For some reason you're not allowed to harvest them. I guess the oil companies don't want dredgers pulling around well heads grabbing pipe lines. Enjoy fishing these recently removed well heads, before too long they will become silted over pushing fish to other locations.

Trust me everyone .....I knew it was a shot in the dark but I figured maybe someone would be nice enough to share. Trust me.....there are plenty other places to catch fish out there. I know it's where abouts so I will do a little side/down imaging work next time I am out there. I'll find it

When you do can you PM it to me please?

Me too

It is still there, big jack up on it!!
I posted this same thing the other day!

Just go to the 4-post, it is a hot spot, and there are hardly ever any boats:spineyes:

You talking about the wrong one uncle lil. This was real close to 4 post. Not the missle.

I'm coming get my gun this weekend.

not going to give out the coordinates, but if you head due south of Marsh Island 10 miles and you will see a henweigh marking the old spot

yeah those henweighs are kinda tough to find sometimes... does it have a light?

did have one, but i took it out to keep the potlickers from finding the spot

It was refered to as "the leaner" at least that what we always called it. And yes the shell pad is still there and its one of the biggest pads in that area.

Silence is golden

The wellhead with the jack up on it right now is "the pelican". There working on a pipeline on it, prolly be there a while..

Man, we aint got no coods yet? im gonna have to unsubscribe?

FYI, I just found out what a henweigh is...anyone want to know?

Yea, no one ever goes there lol I think every cat with a winch anchor on the front knows about that spot.

No, but it has a piecost attached which will give direction of tidal flow as it always rides down current from the henweigh. Don't try to tie off the piecost, not that strong. Hard to find henweigh when its choppy.

Y'all stop lol gonna have these people chasing ghost out there.

Thanks Rat. Was waiting for pink elephants and UFO 's to start getting mentioned

You think I could tie off to that piecost if I brought my own cable-stretcher, or maybe even a sky-hook?

I had all the good coordinates for Shell pads on my GPS from 15-20 years ago written down as well as on my first hand held GPS. Between living in Brazil for seven years and a few moves that is all gone.

One day I will spend some time on my companies internal GIS program writing down coordinates for all the old platforms that were removed then go on a scouting trip with either my down imaging sonar or a work side scan sonar to find some good pads.

But so far this year we have been scratching a few fish at all the known spots.

Nah those wont work
