Lake Boudreaux - Dulac
 

I'm thinking about fishing Lake Boudreaux for the first time to look for reds. Is there anything to steer clear of? Any areas too shallow to run in a bay boat? And of course, if there are any strategies that work better than others, thanks for sharing. Mostly looking to make sure I don't run the boat aground or lose a prop, but fishing suggestions are appreciated. Feel free to PM if you don't want to post on the board. Thanks in advance, folks.

Fish near the NW corner by the dump in the ponds, or the Chauvin side ponds by T-Loc a dic. Use a gold spoon and reel it pretty fast over the grass beds. Thats how we always caught them.

Thanks for the info. I can see where the ponds feed in in the NW on the satellite. I'm not familiar to T-Loc.

Do you know how deep Lake Boudreaux is? I'm assuming its no trouble in a bay boat, but just making sure we don't get stuck.

You can run anywheres in the lake itself. No shallow reefs or mud flats.

None what so ever up on the North side. Couple poles / old well head structure unmarked on the right side coming out of Boudreaux Canal, just in case you are running in the dark.

I have fished along the rocks on the North East side and have been hit or miss. Drowning shrimp because I have 2 young boys that want to catch anything!

Water depth should be fine . 6-8 ft on the north bank until you get closer to shore. I don't venture very far south. 24' sketer is what I run

T-Loc is at 29.45372, -90.62848

Lake Boudreaux is 6-8 foot deep, it gets very rough when the wind kicks up. In the lake you fine to run wherever, however you need somewhat of a shallow draft boat to run the ponds around it.

Also coming out of Boudreaux Canal go into the lake a little before you turn left, its really shallow right there.

My favorite crabbing place!

Haha mine too...... except when I pulled up about 9' alligator on a chicken leg standing on that weir, I didn't hink I'd could run a full out 4.1 40 on top of a few 2 x 12s nailed together..... apparently I can though. I even wwent around my brother who was standing on the weir as well.

You don't have to be the fastest, just faster than somebody......

It's been my experience to be careful running close to the West Bank. Stumps.
