I've always wondered, Is that open pocket to the NW of all the reefs deep enough to run in? Any fish hold up in there? Never ventured inside that western side of the pass before.

Another good source map here. http://coastalmap.marine.usgs.gov/FlexWeb/gomex/ngom/
It has a measurement tool which I find helpful preparing for kayak trips.

Thanks to everyone
Hopefully one day this fall I will be brave enough to venture

Yes but you must remember depth is tide dependent. low tide, it is really shallow. You can also run along the north rum, there is a small channel but study the map closely before you venture in this area. there are some small reefs to look out for.

As always be safe and travel this area at your own risk.

I say my maps are close enough to keep me out of trouble
