I have fished there plenty of times and only caught 10/12 inch fish??

Can we get in the back waters with an 18 foot bass boat? After the bridge last time I went the water was about 20 inches after the bridge?

Just wondering????

If you want to fish the area south of the wooded bridge and not have to worry about the shallow water in the "narrows" there is another boat launch to use.

Look on a map and about 4+ miles north of Whiskey Bay exit on I-10, take a right on Bayou Manuel road. Stay on that road until you come to the next road on the left [Refuge rd] and turn on it. When you get to the "T" in the road, turn left. The boat launch is about 1/2 mile ahead. It is a good concrete launch.

Just watch out for the fallen trees when running your boat.
