Alright well I am thinking bayou putting my boat in the bayou for the first time. I have been studying google earth about the area can't wait to get a first hand look. What kind of structure should I be keying on? Flats, shallow reef, deep reef? Should I fish the channel or work the shoreline? How deep is the bayou?

The bayou is deep. I would run out into the bay and fish the shorelines/Reefs. The water temps should be back up and the fish should be moving shallow to feed. Find bait and you should find fish! Do you have a GPS with the navigation chip so you can locate structure and stay out of harms way?sigpic

yeah I will be going nice and easy and keeping an eye on the depth. I am used to fishing the slp area so I know all about how fast the shallow water can come up. What kinda bait has been productive lately. I was thinking about throwing a gold spoon or some gulp penny's or the gulp swimming mullet.

What find of bait will depend on the conditions that day, but if you want to take the guessing game out of it, throw a 3" new penny gulp on a 1/4 oz. jig head and bounce off the bottom, you will catch a few. It won't be like tops or arties, but you will have fun.

Any plastics including gulp, mirrolures, corkys, spoons, spinnerbaits, stick baits, tops in the right conditions, just find what works for you and you have confidence in.sigpic

Your right Chip, I just have a hard time considering them arties. I guess I just get pissed that Donna catches more fish them on with those gulp and I am hard headed.

I just found out that Humminbird has a free uni map that should give me some nav help. I really need to get that fish finder installed so I can play with it. I've had it sittin in the box for almost 2 weeks. I think I'll go pick up my boat tonight from the storage and bring it to my house so I can play.
