V Bay........anybody been lately?

[rondog]

talked to a buddy this morning. he fished the bay sunday. No good water any where. Best bet would be to fish the island. I heard a couple reports the last couple on days!

[Tannerman]

Where would I go to check out satellite pics for Tee Butte or any other areas. Thanks...

Water looks a "little stained" huh?, You don't realize how much water these rivers push out till you see it when it's high & muddy on sat image.

[Montauk17]

The water out of the pass looks decent....the bay was a mess when we went sunday,but the reds are still biting if you have shrimp.

[Tannerman]

Thanks Montauk....pretty cool......

[Montauk17]

No problem...looks like the water is clearing up around the pass. Too bad the river is about to rise again.

[speck-chaser]

looks like that greenish water almost made it to cove today.

[Montauk17]

Think I might make a run saturday I will let yall know whats going on out there.

[Dink]

I've always heard if you go far enough in the gulf you can catch trout year round in the Eugene isle blocks......any truth to that???

Yep....the river can still make that area fresh.It won't be long untill the rigs start turning on untill the river goes up soon. I have only fished out there a few times as I dont have a boat big enough. With the river at 11 foot there should be some trout around tee butte and diamond.

If you know where the old sunken shrimp boat is at marsh island east of bayou michael....thats where we caught most of the reds last weekend. There is a good shell bottom in that area. Let me know whats up out there,Im planing on going tomorrow.

I have caught my biggest trout at Tee Butte in late may. Best to go during the week if you dont want to fight the idiots anchoring 10 feet from you. I had a guy 2 years ago pass over my anchor rope and cut it with his prop. Karma came only a few seconds later when the idiot smoked the reef with his prop and knocked his entire motor out of the water. My best trip here produced 2 six pounders and 3 five pounders but trips like that are few and far between.

which reef do you like best the first or the second?

[Montauk17]

Last few summers I went out there we always did better on the second reef. Almost all the way to the bank on the tail end of a incoming tide.

The second usually does not have nearly as many people on it but all I have ever really caught there were reds and a few smaller trout. I have dont alot better about 50 yards off the south end of the 1st reef. The second reef is where I watched the guy smoke his motor on the reef on the high tide. You can see the reef start on the bank and come out, freakin idiot.

I always wanted to try Diamond reef to the east of the pass but never went that way. Any of you ever fish it?

[Montauk17]

Diamond reef is just as good as tee butte or better. Fish that area on a incoming tide with a southwest or south wind.
