It attracts a wide variety of species, including speckled trout, reds, flounder and, at times, white trout and croaker. Anglers can fish reefs off the mouth of the bayou, or the marshy shorelines and ponds on the inside. A 20-minute run from the hoists at Chef Pass. Usually good for small boaters. Breezes under 12 mph are OK, except for a northeast flow.
Early morning is best in the summer.
On a falling tide, fish the edge of the current line about a half-block from the mouth of the bayou. Cast the shrimp under a cork and let the bait drift to the end of the current line where the tidal flow dissipates. If you're after reds and flounder, fish against the banks north and south of the mouth. Reds also live on the bottom. Fish hide before cuts along the shoreline and falling water brings food out into the bay.
