I love POC but I do everything in my power to fish there during the week. It's just too damn busy on the weekend and every other slappy with a boat thinks nothing of burning across an 8" deep flat at WOT just because their tunnel-hull boat will run stupid shallow.
There's tons of good water to fish but like Trident said, you've got to get out there early to find fish that haven't been spooked off the flats.
I haven't been down in a couple years though- for y'all who fish there more regularly, has Fish Pond returned to what it was before Harvey? When Harvey blew open Sunday beach all that sand and silt washed into Fish Pond, killed a bunch of grass and turned what was normally an awesome, gin-clear flat into a mudhole.
Regarding fishpond, I'm 99.9% sure you can't access fishpond from the J-hook anymore or from light house cove. you've got to go through mule slough to get in there. Although the last time I was over there was back in February.
Yeah, last time I fished there was like November of 2019. But, I probably haven't fished there on a weekend since about 2010 or so. I'd always go down during the week. I'm sure with covid and WFH it became a ****-show even during the week.
@ecoag80- looks like y'all had an awesome trip. Congrats on spending time with your boys too.
I don't post pics from there when I'm on the flats but this is a big bull my buddy pulled off the jetty while fly fishing off my old boat.
