    Ahhhhh!!! I feel your pain!! I ran EVERYWHERE August 1st in the Sound and could not catch ONE fish!! I kept saying to myself “This is why I go to Cocodrie!!”, lol. It wasn’t until we pretty much gave up and decided to try the long rocks on our way in when we finally caught fish. The tide was rising all morning at the rigs until ~10 AM, water was okay but better at the rocks. The tide was falling when I made it to the rocks and water clarity was actually a lot better there then out at the rigs. There was a lot of shrimp action in the tide line coming off the rocks whenever we fished it also. Like I said in my report, I just could not believe it. I just think I got lucky and was at the right place at the right time during that time of the day. I mean that with no discredit to the process of elimination or plan. Also, I know it doesn’t matter what color you use while on biting fish but I have just seemed to be having the best luck with Matrix Shad in Magneto.

    Anyway, bummer man! At least you had a beautiful ride out there though. I use to love watching the green glow behind my ship while I was in the Navy and also looking at the stars in the middle of the ocean without light pollution. Truly something out of this world.

    Thank you for the report!
