Southwest Pass, an area which is quite unique, for it is at this location where the mighty Mississippi River finally ends its long journey , which began in Minnesota . It is here where millions of gallons of fresh water are dumped into the Gulf of Mexico each minute along with a tremendous amount of bait fish such as river shad ,threadfin shad , and river shrimp , all which are devoured by the redfish. The rocks at Southwest Pass create perfect structure for redfish to hide in , ambushing bait fish as they are dumped into the gulf. This area , just below Cypress Cove Marina in Venice, La. Mike Frenette and the Charter Boat Teaser Team can produce redfish virtually 365 days a year (weather permitting) . Light tackle enthusiasts this place is for you , using lead jig heads in the 1/2 - 1 oz. size and attaching soft plastic grub style lures to these jig heads then working the lure slowly on the bottom produces great catches. One thing for certain hold on , because these "Bulls" can really fight. |
