Big Lake travel
 

If am going south down the ship channel and head east at the washout to go to the weirs is there anything obstruction wise that I should be aware of ?

Old jetty's

Just watch the washout area itself. Other than that, should be fine. Been across there many time for the past 30 years with no problem.

Well I appreciate that, hadn't been that way since Rita.

just curious, wheres the washout? South of supercut? or maybe the same as supercut? just wandering

East of west cove cut.

Washout is the area south of the island with the old "steam engine" behind it to the south bank.

Supercut used to be the very north cut going into Big Lake on the East side of the channel. I say used to because the little island between the "shell island", pipeline signs, is gone now. I guess it is all now 9 mile.

Question, why is 9 mile called 9 mile?? I can't remember.

9 miles from Hebert landing

It is 9 miles from the mouth of the river.

One more hurricane and it will just be one big opening down there. It is amazing how much bigger the "opening" have gotten in the 15 years that I have been fishing Big Lake.

Storms and the huge ships that make huge waves. It's all going away everyday.

Heard both of these. I thought it was from mouth of river, but not sure at all.

Thanks for the replies.
