Flounder at the ferry

[PistolPackinMama]

W and Cduhon, where re y'all talking about? At the boat launch? BigK, thanks, but I think the boat launch is fine. If its not, I'll try your advice.

You can only park at the ferry landing public parking lot.
But you have to cross private property to get to a wading spot.
The other places are not public.
They owners are pissed cause of tearing up the property.
There is only one ferry in Cameron.

Someone with some answers! Are they ticketing those who are fishing ON the boat launch, Ray?

[Ray]

No tickets on public launch.

Same as what Ray said. Only one ferry down there right past the Pogey plant. All the parking you want but most people walk north to wade fish which is private property. If you fished at the Ferry that is fine, just cannot cross north across the private property. People were walking 500 yards down the bank north last year across a fence and private property. Other people were fishing at the curve near the drain ditch but were parking on private property. You cannot park anywhere along side the hwy. Most of where people were parking is private property and people have trashed it. Trash, huge holes, beer cans, dead fish, etc..... The amount of people fishing down there seems to double every year. It got crazy last year all the people. Guess the property owners got tired of the mess and starting enforcing their property lines.

You can fish at the boat launch and all along the shore near the launch but just show respect to boat owners trying to launch. Launched there many times and people fishing the boat launch think they own it.

We've always been respectful of those launching there. Not many - they all seemed to be oyster boats or crab boats.

Em... That was when the landing was restricted to commercial use only.... The landing has been reopened to the general public and is busy as all get out now... So I would not concentrate on the boat ramp this time like we did last year.... too much traffic.... And be wary of trash to get hung up on... Bring plenty of jig heads....

Thanks, Jake. I took note of everything you told me last night. If I can find someone to ride with me on Sunday, I'll be out there.

Sounds like a kayak would come in handy there.

Hi Guys.. I fished for flounders Friday in the wind.. When I say they had over a 100 people wading and fishing from the bank. They did easily... From the Pogie plt north to the rocks about 100 or so yards north of the west boat launch..

Everyone catching and some keeping more than their limit.... Alot of Texas boats of all sizes @ the West Launch..

For some reason the flounder WANT the bait swam up the ledge not from the bank and out to the channel..

I was fishing a glow swimming gulp minnow and a friend was fishing a WHITE Swimming gulp minnow.. I had none on one drift he had 4 flounder..

Friday the flounder weren't big.. I think with this front the big girls will be come out and down...

I agree with the trash comment.. It's out of hand.. They where also wading south of the pogie plt by the Pilot boats on the west side..

A friend was catching better size in the ditches on the north side of the road going to Holly Beach...

Alot of waders are using double rigs with one white and one chartuse.

I spoke to alot of fisherman as I would drift the west side of the channel from pogie plt to just north of the ferry.. I'd say 70- 75% were from Texas...

Never asked them if they had a LA. Fishing License.. Would like to know want percentage DIDN'T have a license..

I'm 150 miles south of the River until Next Thursday. Just came out today..

I'll be back @ it in Cameron trying to get a few flounder before it the run ends next week..

Thanks for a most excellent report biggun. Looks like weekends are no good for wading, then.
