Halls Lake Question...

[Xpress89]

Ha great guides lol, you can always tell the guys who don't know how to run cat boats, that shoalwater should have no issues at all getting up in there especially with a 250 pro xs with a 4blade, you can spin it all day long but if you're spinning it wrong you'll just tear it up,I mean idk how TF you shear a prop shaft all the way off especially in halls lake its all soft mud with some shell lol I've literally waded that whole lake,middle,shoreline, the mouth an its all soft an Shelly any boat with a tunnel should be fine IMO

New generation guides dude they can do whatever they want...

Haha I think I know who your talking about did it have a tower, I seen that tower obat shear his hole prop off in halls lake "trying" to get up, me personally ive never had any issue whatsoever getting up in halls lake low tide,high tide no problems. Also for the people out there who think there is only one entrance into halls lake through the left narrow is wrong both of cuts in the entrance are plenty deep enough for a 39 venture with trip 350s to get through there, just sharing and letting people know ive been wading over there a couple times and people will literally drive 10 ft from me and say sorry I had to cut your wade off cause theres only "one way" in.

Yea I figured it was him,he's a so called "guide"

Lol... So you do know who im talking about..theres another running around with a scb with a 400r on back...some how he knocked his lower unit off as well. Cant wait to book a trip

Yeah, I tried to get up once while in Hall's. Now I just putt to the mouth. Rather spend a little more time doing that than dredging oyster shell and who know what trying to power out.

Is it a black boat with an elevated center console? If it is I've seen that guy do some retarded moves on the water near new bayou! Bwaaaaahahahahahahaha

stay on plain , watch for boats drifting long reef you will be fine.

If you wanna smash reefs on low tide this is a good map to follow

[Team Reel Pimp]

Went back in there about a month ago when the water was in its winter time tides and it was a no go in the pathfinder. Just as i started a drift from that bay house at the point of the south shoreline i seen another 20 plus ft shoalwater cat try to make it. Chicken out pulled off pad and was having to do the spinner to get out. Water should be higher now to make it. Whats your draft

Thanks guys. I'm running out of Jamaica Beach so with this wind I won't be heading that way any time soon!

[KLP]

sorry for relaying bad info. never noticed metal obstruction.

[Puddle pirate]

Isn't there a marina and launch "up river" to the North, off of 2004, which will get you into Hall's?

For anyone coming from the city, that should be a shorter drive. Thanks richg99

Yup there is rich I can't remember the name but it's right past halls bayou or before it, depending on where your coming from. Also there is a public launch right at 2004 and halls bayou opposite from the entrance to the marina.

FLY:

In Hall's itself, there used to be a huge oak not far from the entrance into Halls Bayou that was in hall's lake itself-I think it floated off years ago. Just like New Bayou, the twists and turns in Halls bayou may leave you with some oyster scars so watch your depth finder-best advice is old advice-"go slow until ya figure it out and save yourself some headache and embarrassment."

As far as the 2 cuts, use north side-south side cut has a reef out front and also south of it that will tear the sheet outta yur bote. KLP's map shows the route pretty good into Halls lake itself-it just isn't correct going from ICW into Chocolate.

[Robalo]

Do NOT follow the first part of KLP's red path from the ICW-there is a huge metal obstruction that is just underwater near the ICW. Look at his map pic-see the green channel straight shot almost perpendicular to the ICW that leads into Chocolate-it is a straight shot from the barge running in the ICW in the pic into Chocolate-follow that channel and you'll be ok-there are 2 pvc poles marking that channel (going north, stay to right of them) at alligator pt. I line up with the ICW buoys and those pvc poles and run a straight shot into chocolate; otherwise you may lose a lower unit or worse. Other than the part from the ICW into Chocolate, KLP's map pic is good.
