Venice this weekend - impact of floodwaters?
 

Have an annual trip planned to Venice this weekend, but of course concerned about floodwaters. Highest flooding in Memphis since the 1930'2... sheesh.

Any Salty Cajuns have any insights on what inshore fishing might be? If the floodwaters all head down the chanel and out the passes it might be ok? OR will the shorelines and marsh be a total washout?

Hate to think about canceling.

Any thoughts or advice? :confused:

Just my opinion but, I think you'd be ok through the weekend. The river hasn't really gotten too high yet. Really, it's not much higher, at this point, than it's been in years past and I don't really recall anyone having to cancel trips over it.

Again, I do NOT know the Venice area but, I do know the river isn't all that bad, yet.

I'm heading there after work today to go offshore fishing tomorrow, I'll see what it looks like and let you know.

Muddy.....inshore will be muddy.....several places way down river in marsh that will have clean water on an incoming tide, will be tough!

River water will go west .......go out of the pass and head east, you'll b fine

When river is that high it goes anywhere it can.....east & west will be muddy

Im heading to venice early friday. Fishing a redfish tournament Sat. its gonna be tough for sure

The IFA in two weeks is gonna be real tough... River is gonna be around 19ft in NOLA

Flew out this morning. Water in the delta looked muddy.
Water in the river was very high at Boothville. And MUDDY.

I went two weeks ago, launched out of venice marina, it was muddy then and the river was high, went out toward breton Island didn't catch much, If I was fishing this weekend I'd probably fish myrtle grove or toward point a la hatche, Lake P should be good till the beginning of next week.

I looked at satellite images water is piss poor.... Rule of thumb if river is over 12-13 ft in Nola it will be muddy all the way to Breton island , down river will suck to unless it's a strong incoming tide with a south wind.... IMO u will be wasting yer time head west to fourchon or cocodrie the water at the islands over that wAy is clean n the trout r thick I caught over 250 Friday n sat this past weekend

If u go to Venice grand gossier island may be clean I just don't know if trout r there yet

Is the road flooded down there?

I've read that it was. I talked to the people at Cypress Cove and was told that there IS water over the road in some spots, but some people are driving through it, and others are turning around.

water gets over the road when its high tide, I bet you need a air boat to get around in a couple weeks!

I just got back from Venice yesterday, the water is over the roads in a lot of the usual spots and the water is crap, very muddy.
