Reef names?

[alphaman]

what's the names of the reefs south of marsh island. Starting from Tee Butte reef going east.
I see 6 reefs that are not far off the south shore line of marsh island. With 1 really long, its an upside down J shape reef.

Ive never ventured pass pavey reef but I like too this summer once the fishing gets better!!

1. Tee Butte west
2. Caldwell reef at the pass
3. Pavey reef 2 miles east from the pass.
4. Diamond reef
5.

Some of these reefs have several different names, depending on what group of fishermen you are talking too. Thanks for asking, with map, so that I will also know the names. I've fished "T" Butte many times & I think it is located several miles west of SW Pass. You correctly located Diamond Reef but can not help with the other names. Will be interested to read replies, which will not only help "you" but will also help me.

Pavy's reef, chenere le Croix (something like that), and one of the ones on the other side of diamond is long reef.....not sure about the others. All I have to say is you better know where you are running out there. Safest method for beginners is go about a mile out before you head East to look for them....you shouldn't hit anything

If you have google earth, use the feature that lets you look at previous years imagery. Use 2005, the water was really low when it was shot and you can see more of the details of the reefs.

Camille would be the last reef. After Camille you run in to the Shell Keys reefs. Between Camille and Long reef is ol' man reef; not very big but shallows up in the middle of no-where! There are SEVERAL smaller reefs between the two! Run way out to the south between all these reefs to avoid losing your lower unit! Get the chip for your GPS from the guy in New Iberia...best info out there on these reefs.

Best to just go out there on a really low tide and mark the GPS. There are tons of small scattered reefs that people pass by headed east out of the pass. Everyone heads for Diamond reef or Pavy's.

Very true! I know I don't get out there more than 2-3 times a year.
