[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5456188, member: 2805"] I'll take more scenic pics next trip... it really IS a slice of Heaven. The zoomed out pic is the whole area I've been fishing. There must be over 1000 miles of tiny bayous weaving everywhere in there... most have reds scattered throughout. Most of the specks are in the deeper bayous (5 ft and deeper), esp closer to where the mouths of the bayous dump into the MS sound. Flounder seem to also hug closer to the mouths. The beauty of using a micro skiff is that we can get into and through the tiniest of bayous and narrowest of bayous that folks in normal boats can't reach, yet are too far for most kayakers to access from the launch. Folks in a normal 18ft boat would get stuck in the mud and have to wait for high tide to get off well before we even start fishing. Tons of wild hogs roam the drier land in the marshes... as well as big gators feeding on them. I'm not sure, but I might have caught a glimpse of Bigfoot a couple trips ago. But don't get me wrong, it's not like there are piles of fish just waiting to jump in the boat... they seem to move to different spots in depth every trip we make, and that varies even further based on a rising or falling tide. I just started fishing this area back in mid summer. And while I've caught enough for supper every trip except for 1, the last trip I made 5 weeks ago, we totally blanked... not even a single hit. But it's still better than any day fishing the typical welfare holes with 10 boats stacked up like cordwood in a spot. But every time I go, we hit new spots and keep adding to the piggy bank of knowledge. I could really get into this area, as I've heard the reds never really leave the marsh year round, while the specks move far offshore and to the barrier islands May thru Sept. [/QUOTE]
