Coastal Flood Advisory and cypremort point

[saltysully]

There's a coastal flood advisory until 1:00pm Thursday. Here's the link http://www.accuweather.com/en/us/fra...arnings/333426. When I got to cypremort point this AM expecting a low tide, I found the winds and tide were so strong that there was actually a high tide with the water over the dock. This screwed up my fishing since I fish for reds on a dropping tide and at marsh island. The waves were so high it would have taken me too long to get to marsh island so I gave that up. Just wanted to let you guys know. On a side note, the water in the cove is really clear, although I caught no specs. some folks are catching 'under the birds'. Also heard Avery canal is producing specs, but when I went there, I found the water to be very dirty compared to the cove area. the two boats I spoke with at the avery had caught nothing.

The mouth of avery's where it meets the bay was very dirty. Likely caught his much further North of the bay.

What are you calling the Avery? The mouth of the Delcambre Canal or the Mouth of the Port Canal? We always called the Port Canal (Acadiana Navigation Channel) the Avery Canal. My GPS calls the Delcambre the Avery. So I just avoid calling any canal the Avery. When someone tells me the caught at the mouth of the Avery I assume its misinformation.

I always thought the avery canal was the delcambre canal. One in the same.

Correct the two canals merge and most just refer to where they meet the bay as the Avery.

He wouldn't lie to me, maybe others he would but I take his word.

You keep giving interweb reports of where he caught fish, he may start lying to you

You're right!

The wind has been extending the incoming tide about an hour and a half from the Weeks Bay tidal prediction since it started blowing out of the East. It has also slowed the falling drastically. Every once and a while the wind will let up for 30 min or so and the water will drop 6". The sudden drop in water level has bitten me in Vermilion Bay more than once. It's unforgiving in November and December. The tides at the Point and Weeks Bay are wacky with a ESE wind. Southwest Pass is not as affected.

I hope my camp is alright at e Delta.

Appreciate the report Marque ... many would not be as informative. Nice box!

[AcadianaProp]

I see a lot of prop/skeg work from those pics fishfighhter.

[wishin i was fishin]

Great job Marque! Even if it was on live bait... I have been seeing the same with the reds, glad to know its not just me.

Storm Surges usually push Salty water into the bay. I bet we see fishing pick up as soon as the bay starts to clear up.

I cant get back out until Nov 5th so leave some fish for me.

9:30 this morn, Oct 29th, drove to Cypromort and tide was back to normal, about 50 empty boat trailers were at the landing but could not see a single boat from the state park. Don't have any idea where the boats were. Only 2 kayaks were in The Cove and the water was dirty. Save your gas until the water clears.
