  • bayou Vista to chocolate bay

    Just wondering what the distance is between the 2 using the diversionary canal. I used to know it as the intra-coastal canal, is this the same canal called by different names?

    Diversionary canal dumps into the south end of Jones right by the intracoastal canal. Right by harborwalk. Runs up into Hitchcock and Santa Fe. No fish in there. Pretty good run to chocolate from there. Probably 10 or 12 miles anyway.
    Shut up and FISH!!

      Bayou Vista to Chocolate Bay

      It's about 18 miles from Bayou Vista to Chocolate Bay via GIWW. It's a little further if you use 2nd st. boat ramp off of Diversionary Canal (~21 miles).

        It's worth the run. Lots of sow trout in Chocolate. You've never seen flounder so thick. Reds to 10# every day.

                The reason I was asking is I have 2 gas tanks for a total 12 gallons of fuel. On that 12 gallons I can go around 25 miles so that ain't a trip I can do yet. I have a buddy in Bayou Vista but the Chocolate boat ramp off 2004 is only about 20 miles from the house so....Thanks I appreciate the responses
