Yeah, launch at the public pier: https://maps.app.goo.gl/vTy18gQyiBDVnRVn9
It’s a crappy launch, but it works. After that, follow the edge of the oyster leases out to Freeport Canal. There’s a ton of white poles, you really can’t screw it up. If you want a route, then GED it. Otherwise it’s pretty straight forward.

Also, this video shows how I idle/get out of Bait, Inc through the first flood gate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHIUf2AXR4g
After that I take a left out of there but if you keep going straight you will see the guillotine gate that I go through here to get to the wall and rocks everyone fishes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZ4_sRkWP0g
This article on LAFB reveals more about knowing if those gates are open or not: https://www.lafishblog.com/bayou-bienvenue-locks/
They will 99.99% likely be open and not closed.

How did you transfer to GED?
After that, you can edit that track just like any track in GED: right click on it in the Places window, select Properties, then begin editing. Easy day.

I don’t see any reason why not. Trout are incredibly fecund. So long as the river plays nice and we don’t get any major storms. I am optimistic. I think we are going to see reports, especially in Breton Sound, of people complaining they can’t keep a limit (or at least it will be harder to fill one) because of all the trout over 20 inches.

If it were me, I’d go in October or November before Masson does. LOL
But if you’re looking to go before then, I’d look hard at Sunday. Wind is laying down.

You’re welcome.
I’m not sure what you’re targeting out of Port Sulphur, but whether it’s reds or specks I am sure you will smash them. Lots of oysters down there. Lots of potential and unique things. You should hit the stumps at Grand Bayou (like fish them, not with your boat lol)

I’ve seen bay boats launch there during summer.
I think your boat will be fine. Yes, it’s a little shallower toward the end, just make sure you’re on plane and hammered down.
I think you’ll be good.

The river was definitely better last year, but I’m sure you know that’s a function of the river coming up earlier than it did last year. This year will hopefully be different.
-
Amen.

Well, it has been better in the Lake P area, for sure. Mike Gallo also doesn’t fish other areas and, of course, he’s going to say that so customers book.
With that said, he’s a long time, OG, BTDT, knowledgeable guy.
“I would tend to agree with that.”
Me too! That’s pretty much been my tune this whole time, but I’d go to think putting fish back certainly cannot hurt.
Let’s hope the river doesn’t see double digits this winter!!! *knocks on wood*

Ah, and to answer your question: no I have not. But I am confident boater with an aluminum boat that doesn’t weigh much and a trailer that’s already beat to hell.
-
Well, what boat are you trying to launch? My crystal ball isn’t working today and you didn’t specify that in your profile or post an intro
-
open it with Google Earth Desktop

“I’d say a large number(not-all) of those that sight-fish reds in ponds are C&R anglers, especially the fly fish poling skiff guys.”
Oh, 1,000%! But I’ve personally seen a good deal who still fill the cooler. Slightly annoying given the state of the redfish. That and it’s still fishing pressure that wasn’t there before. Imagine being one of the first guys with a casting platform then vs now.
After that, of course other states laugh at us. I’ve fished/traveled out of state a bunch, that’s how I know. That and getting viciously roasted by other folks out of state on the Internet. LOL I think it’s required if you’re seriously fishing for the long term, great way to learn new stuff.

Really? We thought you just used the pile of trout you catch to climb in and out of your boat. lol
