Thanksgiving Ride
Hundreds turned out for this charitable event. All kinds of people and
bikes were everywhere. A nice added attraction on the way to fish. |
Cross Bayou Launch
This is the rental outfit that has been located here for a few years.
The owner is back and taking over management. There were several canoe
rentals the day I was there. |
Skiffs, canoes and jonboats
The little ramp sees all kinds of traffic. This would be a real problem
for fishing as this is a tight area. Much of it is only available to paddle
craft or jonboats though. |
A long awaited snook
This is no trophy fish but it put up a good fight. This fish hit a jerk
bait back in one of the 'lakes' which could only be reached by a paddle
craft (or pedal craft). |
Cross Bayou habitat
This gives you an idea of how tight this area is. And it gets narrower
up beyond the bridge barely visible ahead. Too much pressure and the fishing
will be affected. |
Typical game fish turf
There are a handful of spots like this along the bayou. A cut in from
a shallow bay with a good current flow. Snook take a position waiting
for bait to be swept into the target zone. |
