Wading virginia point?

[IndyKid]

Hey guys, was looking to fish some new spots and wanted to try to wade virginia point and up the shoreline. I dont have a boat or kayak so need to find a place for parking. Anyone have experience with this area?

The only access is the road under the railroad bridge then it continues a ways then you walk.

There used to be a pvc pipe there marking an oyster reef. We used to catch some redfish up there in a boat. After ike though, the pipe is gone and we have yet to find the reef again.

That whole shoreline and point is mostly shell

Kenny is right, the whole area is reef or mud/shell...Ive waded the hell out of it(from a boat) several times and heard stories of monster trout, but have yet to catch anything but a few keeper reds and the occaisional trout. I think you need a fairly high tide in the winter time for that area to produce...not sure about spring summer fall. I haven't figured out the pattern but it always looks like it should be a good area. Let us know if you figure it out.

Ahh, I talked to my uncle and that pvc pipe he put up years ago. It marked a gut and that's where he caught his trout and reds. The time's we've been there it has only been reds. If you find a gut mark it!

Don't drive under the railroad bridge unless you know somebody that will give you permission. When the houses where there a buddy of mine got his truck vandelized by the locals . They didn't see a thing , but told him it is private property and that he shouldn't come back. You could possibly park at the causeway and walk in , but do watch for snakes .

In the past there was a private property sign posted at the start of the road. I have not
gone back to see after Ike.
X2 on the snakes.
