Marc, this is slightly different wind, SSW Bracket your drifts from Big Cut to Little Cut, and limited inside by the 2 duck blinds. Long drifts to Talley Shore can also produce. viewtopic.php?p=2310836 Save Trout Bayou in your pocket for NE wind. Make sure you stay away from staked boats - but they'll let you know if their idea of too close is different from your idea of too close. Rip dey lips and give us a report ..read more

Maybe we can be like the bass fisherman one day ..read more
