LOL! There are bunch of fishermen everyday, weather permitting. I find most are running out the Pass, fishing the reefs and Tiger Shoal. Not many are staying in the Bay itself. Those that make it out are catching fish,especially those using live bait. The handful that pound the bay is either hit or miss. Heard a speck tournament was won at the mouth of Fearman in W. Vermilion..some absurd weight of 50+ lbs....I didn't see them and don't know who caught them. I have a hard time believing that report myself...but it could be?

I heard from a good source, that this is true and one of the winners was a game warden from the area. All 5lb. + trout.

You guys are probably right about the salinity in the bay. Something I will be paying attention to from now on though.

yea h e l l hole is closer to southwest pass so its more salty water there or dry reef its been a long time since i fished tha area but there alot of reefs around there. wont be long before they start moving in just gotta watch for the wind and choppy water unless have a big boat which isnt a problem from time to time dependin on which way the wind is coming from the worse time is when its blowin from south east or south west. them water wont let u out there in the open for sure.
