Big Lake Wiers are easy limits but fustrating
Ok, First of all. Let me start out by saying , This was my first time ever to B/L. we went to the 3rd weir South of Hebert's. It has a small pass thru for boats in the center. Ive heard ALL the horror stories about the congestion at the wiers on the weekends.. Well, its not that bad..Its WORSE! :eek:This is complete insanity. Some people should not be allowed to own a boat! . They have the attitude that if the boat can fit, they can anchor there! We already had 3 boats fishing the same spot (middle canal about 50ft from weir), then 2 boats come thru and we had to pull our lines in, thinking they are just passing thru the weir opening. WRONG, they both stop in the middle and throw titantic anchors over! Are you kidding me! :pissed: Thank God we only need 1 more to limit out, Which my daughter already had on her line come to find out, so we got him in the icechest and got the heck out of there, !:spineyes: I will NEVER go back on a weekend. I suggest if you have a temper, stay away by all means!
I know this is a report section for fishing results, but I feel the fishing experience is part of the report. Now that I got that off my chest, the fishing was plentiful. Went saturday and limited out (me/wife) in about 1 1/2 hrs. Went bk Sunday and limited out again (me/wife/daughter) about 2 hrs! So 25 reds for the wkend :) We caught them on dead shrimp on 1/4 jig. Im sry.. Looking at map. I believe it was the 3rd wier South of Heberts. It has a small openeing for boats to pass thru... |
That place can be a nightmare lol.

My uncle was out there on Saturday. They got a limit but said there were tons of boats fishing illegally, too close to wier.

Does anyone recall the harbor scene from JAWS???:shaking:

But they keep people off the lake and it's awsome for us lol
It's really crazy because In December Chris and I Cleaned 575 Redfish for customers And 670 in January and maybe 30 were caught at weirs and that was mid week with high winds only reason we fished them and had to ourself If people would spend a little time and learn that weirs are not only place that hold fish . |
Ive seen people draw down with pistols on each other at the wiers before.
|
If you go to the weirs you have to throw all fishing etiquette out the door. Its the Royal Rumble of red fishing. Its the price you pay for easy fishing.
|
Any size to your catch? I haven't heard of much beyond barely legal coming out of the lake lately.

Heard there were ALOT guides in there........ sad
I have only fished weirs 3 times ever , 2 out of the 3 the guides were there doing EXACTLY what the OP described, ridding right up in the center and staking their claim, or doing the swap out with another guide.......... pretty sad when these "guides" have to fish the weirs Withe the exception of W and one or two other guides , I have little respect for the big lake guides. |

There is a big difference between a Guide and some guy with a boat, some rods and reels and a U.S.C.G 6-pack. ;) |
You Said it do not go if you have a temper !!!!!! Most times easy fishing, its good when you are struggling on the lake or have kids or people that don't fish often cause its easy

Hit nail on the head !!! never should a guide have customers involved in that cluster ever .. |
Anyone know what the penalty is for violating the 250' rule?
I haven't been there enough to see whether or not that's even enforced at all. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk |

They will write you a ticket not sure how much it will cost you though. When it gets too out of hand they will have undercover guys out there so just because you don't see a game warden doesn't mean there isn't one there. |

Fine is $250 per person 1st offense
They hammered em in January one day , wrote a pile of tickets and was told 70% of the tickets wrote were from Out of state |
