Waterfowl Hunting in Lake Pontchartrain / Northshore in Southeast Louisiana

Big Branch Question

I was hoping to hunt Big Branch this weekend but am worried the northerly winds we've had this week might have drained it. We've had light (~10 mph) north winds most of this week, and they are projected to blow into next week. What do you seasoned north shore hunters anticipate this weekend? Mudflats or navigable waterways?
Thanks in advance.

Water

The east wind should push the water in as today the water should be high. West wind would push the water out and east would push it in

Normal Level

I, like you, thought the water would be low this weekend with the North winds blowing all week. To me, and my Dad's surprise, the water level has remained at normal or just a little below normal all week! Some days it was even higher than normal? Don't know what's going on with the high water but it really hasn't gone down since Isaac? Good luck tomorrow!

Water

Can you hunt big branch with just a pirogue, or I have a 16ft Boston whaler w a pirogue, would that work? Or do I need a go devil?

Pirogue is fine

In fact, there's an area limited to non-motorized access (see map, which I'm too lazy right now to link to). Pretty good bit of paddling, however.
