Brother and I decided to gig the bayou last night out of yaks. We ended gigging our limits. Nothing big. This was our first time to try this area. We launched at Lutes and worked down the bayou. Did not see a flounder until past Horseshoe marina. Seemed like the flounder were always found near the reeds. It was a low tide and there is a lot of deep mud. I would like to try the bay itself but afraid to leave truck under 2004 bridge at night. I would hate to come back to a broken in truck.

Ya'll done outstanding on the limits!!! Why try a different spot ? Always lots of deviltails in Choclatte. Did you make it into Perrys and the west entrance into the barge slip ? Aint no way to hump that but by boat. Always nice ones laying in the mudspoils but it is shallow until the dropoff into the slip. Humping that part of Choclatte is always a beoetch. I'm too old and tipsy to try that out of a yak but that part of the bayou should be great if you can attempt to try."Nobody's so poor that somebody can't get rich screwing 'em."

I would like to launch at 2004 bridge but that is not a good place to leave a truck at night.Hello, My name is Anthony, and I'm a Chocoholic.

Yep, back in 60's after flatfish huntin we came back under the bridge but had put in at Lutes, just as now, and there were 5 vehicles in the water. 2 with boat trailers. There is no way even in day time would I leave a vehicle there unattended. For a 3$ launch fee at Lutes its well worth it to me. Cell phones and a designated callee for dropoff and pickup is the way to go if you want a quicker start to the bay from the bridge.
Used to be an oilfield road, mostly boards, leading into the Horseshoe at Buoy42/43 that lots of anglers used for shore fishing and crabbling. Don't know who owns that property now but every once and awhile I have seen vehicles at or near the Horseshoe."Nobody's so poor that somebody can't get rich screwing 'em."
