Well, we get out towards the mouth and there is a massive dredge boat working in the middle of the pass. Then the only storm cell along the entire gulf coast opened up on us.
There is truly not a thing you could have done about that other than have a local provide that intel. Even then, I’m not sure, because you can’t see it on Sentinel EO, though you can see the dredge and spoil on 8/19.
So, great. That entire fishing spot is trash now. lol Just….geez.
A family of 7 checked into the room next to us and brought what sounded like a mariachi band. They didn’t shut it down until 2 in the morning.
Ahhhh….”camp culture”. People staying up late and drinking and partying as if it’s more important than the fishing. I always disliked that. Just go to bed and go fishing. Go to Bourbon Street for staying up late and drinking.
Water temp was 91 degrees in 4 feet of water off the beach
That’s ridiculously hot for fish and people.
I think we would have had much better luck if we had gone out to the rigs and fished a heavy drop shot of 1/2 oz jig in 20 ft of water.
I agree. That and the sunk Timbalier Rocks. That deeper water away from land is gonna be cooler. I know when I went on my recent Breton Sound trip that the water in the marsh was 90+ but in the Sound it stayed in the high 80s.
Looking forward to the fall boys.
You and me both.
I’m just making content and resisting the temptation to go lookin’ for ’em.
Great report, thanks for posting it!
