Too low for Beau Bayou???

[Slabstacker19]

Need some opinions fellas....I am wondering if i can still get into beau bayou at the current stage. I have a 18ft. Aluminum so I am iffy on trying to run across the flat. Any opinions or recent knowledge would be appreciated

I don't know if it's even worth the trouble. The last 2 times I went I scratched. I've been fishing that area since the 70's and have never seen such an influx of new fisherman like this year. It was ridiculous. When Henderson quit they migrated down my way. This area is too small to absorb that amount of people. I wonder all the time; don't people work anymore? There were more boats during the week than we would see on the weekend. One day as I was leaving I couldn't figure which side of a boat to pass. They were stacked like cord wood. They hit it so hard I don't think we will catch any fish in the fall this year. It will take a real good rise(20' at BLR) to restock some fish. It was a horrible thing to witness after fishing this area all my life. I'm not complaining, just discouraged.
