looking for back way to big lake wiers

[david79thomas]

Anyone know anything about this little landing off of Hwy 27/ W Creole Hwy?
Click Here for the landing
29.8438, -93.1095

I don't want to trespass on anything but I'd like to launch here and see what I can get into.
Also, is there a special place on this board for coordinates or mapping purposes dealing with fishing spots and landings/ launches?

Don't know Dave but it looks good back there..

[Ray]

There is no back way to the weirs.
That is Miami property. The Miami permit is not good on that side of the road.
That is the hunters and trappers launch. You can only launch there if you have a duck lease, and only during duck season.
There is a commercial crabber who launches there also.

[Montauk17]

Anytime you see a small launch off the beaten path more than likely it is private.

[Ray]

There was a boat house back there before Rita.
The past judge uses that launch, and the past land manager used it too.
Most of the individuals that launched there with duck leases were ran out and the leases were changed over to clubs and large businesses.

[Ray]

You don't want to launch a bay boat there either.
Without a tunnel hull, go devil, mud motor or mud boat, you ain't getting far.
Lots of shallow water and deep slush. No getting out of the boat.

Everything Ray said plus that road is gated too.

Gotta run the lake!

[david79thomas]

I made a map a few years back!!! And always wait for the question !!!!

Thanks for letting me post this!!!

(btw party barges go through the weirs ) your fine

[calcutta37]

Your boat will fit

[calcutta37]

Dave how fast is that boat

[BayBolt23]

Dude that pic is funny azz hell

[david79thomas]

I'm working on the speed, but from my rookie skill level of jack plates I got it to 73. Talked to someone who got one like mine the fastest I've heard of and he told me some pointers that should get me at least to 83-85. He said the boat should go faster though. Hey, 73 is way fast enough. It don't chine walk like a v hull. Solid.
I'd be pumped to get it through the wiers. The fish master barely fit

Cotton well rd, locked gate just over bridge.
What ray said, Soupy

I went to one of the weirs once and the current and drop were so scary I chickened out and didn't try to go through. Are all the weirs the same, or is one easier to go through than another? Is there some trick to passing through, or do you just have to go for it? There were several boats back there, but my boat looked bigger, and taller than those boats.

[Raymond]

Grand bayou is the only one open and yes it does get small the closer you get. It's like the bamboo shoot at astro world give it gas and hit the hole.
