V Bay???
 

Ok Peeps, you haven't heard from me in a while because I didn't have a boat. She is scheduled to be back this week and I gotta go!

I haven't seen any reports but have been hearing from friends that they have been doing good on reds.


Anyone know anything?

Except Red Robin... he always catching...Im about to hire a PI to follow him around! You da man Red!

I was thinking about fishing west side of the bay Tuesday or Wednesday. Only fished that end a handful of times so just gonna fish the spots I know and hope for the best.
Might try to crab too. I've been to those two weirs by the game warden camp before but anyone know anything about those other two? The hog bayou one by hell hole and the one on bayou prien I guess it's called. At least that's what google earth says.

Anyone know anything about hell hole or hell hole bayou? Why is it called that?

No weir at Hell Hole but there is one at Hog Bayou. It is located in the Southwest corner of the bay. Entrance can get shallow on low tide but canal is deep. You can locate the weir on Google maps if you switch the map to the satellite view. Weir will be after 1st sharp turn to left in canal. Hell Hole is a deep hole at the beginning of the bayou that leads to lake portage. That canal is deep but gets shallow in Lake Portage. Reds on the banks when tide is high enough in the lake. Not sure of how they got names but I see many hogs on the bank when Im at tbutte which backs up to that area so I would assume that's how Hog Bayou got it's name.

Cool
Thanks for the info
I looked on google earth and there is another weir between hog bayou and fearman bayou not far from the point. Know anything about that one?

Yeap.. That's Prien Bayou.. WLF Refuge Crews Just finished removing old weir and installed a new weir back 100ft or so in the canal.. Surrounding land around entrance has washed away... Weir was washing out.. So they moved it... It's a very small canal... U may be able to catch some bait there.. I was at Hog bayou 2 weeks ago.. Lots of live bait there on an outgoing tide... Don't bother trying to crab if water is coming in over weir... I find crabbing poor there if it's coming in... Plus I cant keep a crabline down unless it's weighed.

If tide is up?? I can get my 24' Triton in there.. But I know where to pass. I've been going there for 40 yrs.

I fished yesterday afternoon at T butte.. Water was passable... Not a bite.. Went offshore to Tiger Shoals.. Water was very nice.. Not one bite either after fishing 4-5 wellheads.. Fishing from 2-4:30.. It started breezing up to 2-3 fters.. Came on in...

My fianc? and I fished west side of bay today. Tried for reds in a few spots but nothing. No one else that we talked to seemed to be catching anything either so we posted up and just fished cut mullet on bottom. She had a blast reeling in those gaftops.

We caught a few reds last Friday afternoon around redfish point.

Looks like the tide has to be high to fish and catch around there? Tide was low and water wasn't up to the grass just mud along the bank. A lot of bait though

These 10 Reds were caught last Wednesday in and around Weeks Bay. It was low tide with virtually no water movement.

good catch DVM!

Thurs. Afternoon trip. Cartoon man limit on west side of Bay castin Glow gulp shrimp... fishing about 2 1/2 hrs....

Any Specs or Reds being caught outside of SW Pass, Pavey, Diamond, T-Butte??

I fished the butte last weekend... Water was fishable... No trout though... Ran to Tiger Shl. Water was awesome... No trout... I sure if the winds lay down, reefs may be good. If U had live bait Id go to SMI.233 area..

Ps. It looked like V52 is gone.. I could not see it from 4 Post.

C P is the place I would try....just saying

What do you mean gone?

Sorry.. I thought V 52 had been taken out... Normally I can see V 52 Platform from 4 post at Tiger Shls.

I fished So. Marsh offshore yesterday.. It's still there... I was mistaken...

Thks

Gunner

Yes yes yes yes yes yes

actually I think it is gone.. 51 or 52 is. My buddy went and told me it was gone

Hoping to take the wife out to the V-bay area this weekend if that tropical turn up in the gulf doesn?t make it too rough for me to cross the bay. Plan on fishing around Lake Fearman hoping to put the wife on a few Reds.

The bank from the south east point of little white lake to the mouth of the old vermilion is
FULL of reds... and you don’t have to mess with any chop.

Good luck

A little late with the report, but on the 14th we caught about 35 specs @ Tete Butte between 3 people.

I've always been worried to try learning some new spots out that way. I usually just stick to what I know on the west side of the bay with not much luck on reds. I have an 18 foot Kenner. How is navigating little white lake and the little Bay Area. Fearman looks like nothing but sand bars on google earth.

Little white lake gets really skinny on a low tide. Little bay isn?t to bad to get around depending on any tides. I think the sand bars you are talking about in Fearman is the channel that was dug through it a few years about. The lake can get tricky on lower tide but for the most party you can move around it pretty good.

Cool
Thanks for the help
Might just go put put around those areas for fishing for memories see where people are navigating
Try to educate myself a little bit
When I was younger I feel like I knew the bay very well for my age but as I got less and less time to fish I stuck with what I knew and didn't learn much
Now I feel like I don't know much about it anymore lol

If you knew the bay then are not. That’s the thing about the bay. It will humble you more times than not. Good luck.

Ha! true dat! I am amazed in how much and fast things change in the bay.

V Bay???
 

Went this morning trying to beat the rain. Ended up keeping 8 nice red between18?-26?on dead shrimp under a popping cork beating the banks. Could have kept out ten but through the ones right at or above 16? back. Caught them all in and around Lake Fearman. Didn?t take any pictures because of the rain.
