That is false, lots of guys hunting along the edge of the lake. Some got blinds built and some just hunt out of the boat.

Must have changed from whe I hunted there. It's been about 8 or 9 years since I've been back there. Some of my friends have a blind they built on the lake but never hunt it. My bad.

Yes it is and Miami is open from middle of March to the end of August and it is 25 hp(33.3cubic inch) and yes they do still patrol that area.

Ive never seen anyone hunting in the middle of the lake, plus its ok to hunt blinds there, but you have to remove them after the hunt...


Make sure you read the small signs. That lake is considered Lacassine, and is off limits to fishing during certian months. Check into it..

Catdaddy, I just looked at the map and the lake is NOT part of Lacassine Refuge.The marsh is the south boundary.

Was it a up-to-date map? I know they've started calling all dat lacassine

i could be wrong..

[Red Devil]

Actually it was a 2003 map. I'm 39 and I've always called it Lacassine. We've always fished the lake and snake run year round. We've had game wardens come to the house boat during hunting season and we were running jugs and they never said anything.

Ok. I'd say fish it, if you get told different...then ...

[Deadly D]

The lake and bayou is open year round. The land that borders them is considered the refuge

[Montauk17]

So I should not have a problem fishing in there during duck season?

Bring you a gun and shoot backNo you shouldnt but be polite and dont get to close around them to scare off there ducks and shouldnt be a problem

[Montauk17]

Might bring the 12 gauge and hit some fly bys while fishing

I hunted alligators on that area. We were able to hang lines all along the North side of Misere but not in the lake.
We did hang lines all over the cut where we went into the bayou.
There is another way in a couple miles East of the Gibstown Bridge.
Launch at the bridge and head East. When the ICW turns left, keep going straight.
Then you are in the lake.

Not sure now, But there was a 25hp restriction, but have not fish in there in a long time. Good Luck and post some picks.

Montauk, just FYI - All that marsh is leased, and they have hunters out there that will be moving around also, so watch out for other boats. Francis Drilling Fluids has a house boat out there and a big lease, so be careful of the traffic. Wasn't that long ago, we had a fatality from a two boat collision on the LAHC.

I would be hitting brush tops w/ a red shad worm if I was out there! I don't know why, but they love red shad culprits back there in high water. Good luck!

And - I absolutely love your avata, aint nothing like a nice pair in a tight shirt!

[Montauk17]

Thanks for the info,but I think I will hold off untill duck season is over. Im a duck hunter as well so I know how it is for someone to run all your ducks off.

The marsh is leased but the lake is open to fish in. FDF doesn't have a house boat he has a camp which can't be reached unless you go thru a locked gate which is up in the Miami Corp canal. Most of FDF's boat traffic is late Friday afternoon or he flies them in. By fishing at the opening of the main canal which goes into Miami is a wide open area and he wouldn't of distrubed any one.
Miami Corp is closed to all fishing now but it seems that the only ones who gets checked out there during the season are the 25hp bass club. I am not relaying this as a rumor. Been there for the last few years even back when you had to get in the cut from Latania and haven't been checked.
