Chocolate Bayou conditions?

[kcross]

I was just seeing if anyone can tell me how salty the bayou is right now. Thinking of hitting it around Lute's this weekend in my kayak. Also just a question what is the closest launch point to the saltwater barrier and has anyone ever fished it?

You can put in at 2004 or Lutes, but I think 2004 is closer to the bubble barrier. I haven't been out there recently, but you can always call Lutes for conditions.

Give Lutes a call, 2813931021, Cody, Barbara, or Darlene can tell you.
Used to be able to drive right up to the barrier but its all private road now and I haven't tried to get lost up that way to test for a good stern warning.
Its a good paddle from the 35 park bridge but a lot less from the park bridge in Liverpool. Unless you know someone that lives over the RR bridge. May be too cold for the gaters right now but I would be on watch for them as the Bayou aint that wide there.
Its beautiful up that way for Kayak or a canoe and you may catch Crappie,Bass, Flounder,Redfish or Trout. If you get real lucky a 5 foot Gar can challenge the Kayak

salty as it gets. I used to live on the bayou in Liverpool and only caught carp and bass that far up.

I've caught quite a few trout up that way.

I believe the Horseshoe Bend boat ramp would be the closest launch spot to get to the bubble barrier. It's about a 1 mile paddle.

Nevermind... I was thinking of the bubble barrier further downstream, not the saltwater barrier. Sorry.

[Curmudgeon]

past the bridge?

Yeah, north of 2004.

I love that bayou. Never really fished it up past lutes until recently and took me about an hour to figure it out. As soon as I get over this flu, I'm going right back up there and kick some arse.

It's salty right now. I was there this morning till one toe froze off and I was worried about the other 12.

It's a gar hole.
