    The game plan for this trip was to fish island points in the East Biloxi Marsh for speckled trout, then carry on eastward to try for snapper at some shallow wrecks in northeast Chandeleur Sound (keeping a heavy rod rigged for ‘targets of opportunity’ during the open water crossings), and then look for tripletail on the ride home.

    That’s brilliant, love it!

    I noticed four boats fishing the big Lake Borgne Block-22 platform as I passed, wondering if there were really any trout in that close

    It’s possible, but if they are, then they are surely getting hammered by everyone and their mom. That rig is just so close.

    I dodged rain showers for the next 45 minutes or so, steering for the clear skies at the edge of the storm, and eventually make it back to Deepwater Pass.

    Wow, that’s a legit adventure right there. Straight up! You don’t see that at the bowling alley!

    For that alone I love those long treks into the middle of nowhere. I’m probably gonna cave and just get another bay boat just for that.

    Anyway, great report, thanks for posting!
