Diversionary

[Shallowminded]

When I hear "Diversionary" I tend to think Matagorda. Can someone educate me as to "Diversionary" as it relates to West Galv Bay? I need to learn !!

2nd street in Hitchcock has a boat ramp to acees it.

X2 on the wakeboarders and jet skis!

Was built to drain or "divert" runoff from the hitchcock / santa fe area (we used to flood really bad). Dumps out in between Harborwalk and Tiki into west bay. Runs roughly along the line of Basford bayou. Like they said -- lots of jet skis and wakeboarders due to the shelter from wind -- also really shallow at the mouth on a low tide ~ 3" at times. All blocked up with dredge pipe at the moment. I think you can still get out but be careful!

Come on Mike ,tell them about the raw sewage and glowing oysters .

I can attest to the glowing oysters.

Hey Mike...I've heard that the banks of that ditch is lined with deep, sticky, slippery mud, & it is easy to bust your arse when trying to fish it from the bank. Any truth to that?

[Shallowminded]

OK, OK..now I member. Fished that area long ago with my dad, around what used to be Flamingo Isles?

Anyway thanks for the info, and do not eat the oysters that glow.

I have an uncontrollable desire to wanna jerk my rod!!!

[H.Maier]

That's the deal, Rocky. If you don't live in the area, don't pick up the oysters. I heard there was four trout over 23" taken there last week in that hell hole.
