Trip Description:

The Club’s normal location for put-in to fish San Luis Pass, San Luis Pass Park, is closed to boat launches due to dredging the cove by the boat ramp.  You may recall that area was very shallow even for kayakers.  So for this outing we’ll try a new location, which is open for both boaters and kayakers.
