Nice trip and great report. I love when the Gulf is flat like that.
It seems like the water from the Atchafalya River and the Wax Lake outlet go West once it hits the Gulf. When I fish to the East of the river and the water is salty much closer to shore. Head over to the West side and it's much fresher way far out. When I was younger I used to work in the SMI 243 field and the water was almost fresh most of the summer. It didn't start to salt up until late summer early fall. That said last year I had my houseboat parked at the Atchafalaya Delta WMA and we where catching specks at the mouth of Log Island Bayou on the big flat between there and Catfish bayou. I guess the fish are where you find them.
