First off, thank you for not dropping this the night before. lol
Second, everyone reading this should recall that ebfulch will be in a kayak, just to clear up any confusion.
“10+mph east wind”
What forecast are you using? It’s gonna blow way harder than that. Windfinder and NOAA Marine Forecast are good tools for marine wind predictions.
“Do you approach it like any other weekend, just observing the conditions and acting accordingly?”
Yes, do that, just understand that conditions could change and you will need to change, too.
If I were you, I’d go to Seabrook and fish that with a Heavy Drop Shot. You will be protected from that east wind, but there will be boats there to contend with.
Or go to the Rock Dam and sit there all day. Or go across Bayou La Loutre from Hopedale Marina into the Spoil Canal and go down that first canal on your right. Fish at the end of that. That’s a great fall spot I used to fish but since kayaking has grown in popularity I avoid it. All the ponds, bayous, trenasses, etc. connecting into that are good to fish, too. Plus you will be protected from that east wind.
Geoghegan Canal out of Rigolet’s Marina is another good bet. It’s closer and protected from east wind, but as warm as it is I don’t know how many fish will be in there.
The backside of Delacroix behind Sweetwater will probably be great to fish. You’ll have a little protection and the east wind will have the water levels up.
Or just do what you planned before.
