    I would not put that much stock into these resources. They’re good for getting a good idea on a large general area. For example, is the west side of Lake P clean to fish redfish on the powerlines there? That’s the kind of question the two resources above are good to answer.

    Outside of that, you risk going on a wild goose chase. I think we inshore anglers put way too much weight on finding “clean water”. Well, if that’s all I did this year then there are several trips I would not have caught any trout.

    This is what I told @leviwalters a few days ago, do you want to find clear water or do you want to catch trout? The trout I caught on the 3rd were in garbage water tainted by the river. But they were there.

    The Biloxi Marsh has way better looking water than Pointe a la Hache, but a fraction of the fish.

    Some people think they can look at this imagery and unlock where the trout are biting. That’s not realistic because, at best, the resolution is still 250m meters per pixel. That’s larger than a fishing spot. So a great fishing spot can have clear water and you’d never discern it with that imagery.

    That’s why I put weight on using GED to find where clear water is historically: https://www.lafbelite.com/lesson/if101-5-4/ Follow the trend, because that’s what the fish know.

    That’s how I ferreted out the spot I caught ’em at on the 3rd and the day before that. The above resources are only tools, not shortcuts.
