Weeks bay & patout bayou or STUMPY BAYOU

Does anyone fish around stumpy bayou & bayou patout around weeks bay? What kind of fish are caught around stumpy bayou and patout bayou?? I have a 14ft flat and was looking for a spot to fish that i didnt have to go all the way to cypermoint state park to have to salt water fish and found bayou patout and stumpy bayou and this area goes into weeks bay,so i was wondering what is caught around stumpy bayou and is there any good fishing in weeks bay ? me and my son went this morning and fished weeks bay just outside of the bayous water was really smooth,sure its not like that all the time,but do i need to go further into weeks bay or can we catch reds and specks close to the bayous without having to go far out into weeks bay. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Another launch

I don't know much about Stumpy Bayou but you can go past the turn to Cypremort and go to Daniel Edgar's boat launch into the Port of West St. Mary. Go out to the intracoastal, take a left and the next right puts you in the Ivanhoe Canal to Vernilion Bay. I have a 14 flat and that's where I fish. I've caught reds, bull sharks, croakers and stingrays there. Today my wife caught a 21 inch red and a giant black drum there.

stumpy

I use to fish stumpy as a kid with my dad. had a 14ft with a 7.5 sears outboard caught many channel cats there an occasional red now and then. if the waters salty you'll catch just about anything along the intercoastal and the cannals leading into the bay. work the shores for reds

Weeks bay

If you run out of Bayou Patout and cross the intracoastal to go into Weeks bay you will know immediately if your boat is not enough to take the seas in the bay. The water where Patout crosses the GIWW will or won't be too rough to cross into the bay.
If you can't get into the bay there but can get into the GIWW go East and there is a short bayou that you can use to get into the bay.
Once in the bay fish the north bank on a high tide with a spinner bait for reds. Or any other method that is normally used. If the bay is calm, go to the end of the land further south called Mud Point. Sometimes there are trout to be caught there. The usual methods will have to be tried to see what they are biting on. Usually there will be some boats parked where the fish are to be found.
