I find they hang out in both. Some get stuck in the marsh and decide to stay there.. The only bad thing is, the clear marsh water lets to much sunlight in and depletes the oxygen quickly. If i set nets in clear water, i have to check my nets within 2 days or they will be dead when i get there. I find they hang out in deeper, muddier canals that marsh water empties into. look for marsh leaking into a canal, where you can see the water mixing.. thats usually a good spot. 8 to 10 feet deep this time of year. (keep in mind that i been fishing south of gueydan for 20 years and my ideas are based on the fishing here) I would like to go meet you one afternoon and i could help you rig up some lines and experiment with cats in your aera. We could try several different baits, in different locations, different depths, stuff like that...
