Well, i guess i can’t complain about dragging the boat from Covington to Venice anymore!
Great report, glad y’all had a good trip. A couple of us are heading down there next week to chase trout and hit the snapper opener.
That trout is heartbreaking to say the least, I know it made you sick to your stomach to watch her shake loose!

“It is hopelessly tragic what has happened.”
Couldn’t agree more. If us millenials think it’s bad, I can’t imagine what he would think.
I’ve read it several times, and highly recommend it. It’s an easy read, and he specifically talks about wade fishing Chandy.
Trout Masters Too is another personal favorite read of mine.

I have also read about / looked into this. There’s a great book by Rudy Geiger, it’s called “Plugger”. He was one of the pioneers of wade fishing with hard baits. He swears you only need single hooks and it lowers the mortality rate of the fish you catch. That said, I tried using single hooks on topwater and it took one trip for me to decide it’s not for me.
I do have some shallow running subsurface baits that I have single hooks on and have not noticed a loss of hookups. My uneducated theory is that on top, they are blowing up on it, where as subsurface, they are inhaling it.

Bummer man. Once again, I can’t make it. Stupid work functions getting in the way of fishing.

Yall are killing me with these Venice trips! I’m dying to get down there, just haven’t had the time to make that kind of a haul the past couple of weeks. Once again, nicely done boys

That’s a crazy good day! I launched out of Cypress on the 7th too. Was with a buddy and his crew from Tuscaloosa, but we were targeting snapper, wahoo, and tuna. A lot of inexperienced guys on the boat, so I played deckhand for most of the day. Definitely got into some rollers. We couldn’t polish off a limit of snapper, and we ran to the 24 mile rigs lol. Lots of sharks, one wahoo that spit the hook, 22 snapper, and i caught a cobia.
Y’all had a better day in 30 ft of water, and i would have rather been chasing trout!

I’ll be out there tomorrow, 10/31. We are still debating between Bayou B or Hopedale, but I am leaning towards bayou B. I want to try jerk baits along the MRGO, some deep holes in/around Bayou B, and maybe the northwest shore of Lake B. I’ll text you this afternoon once I know for sure, would be happy to share intel while we’re both out there.

Great report, nice job bud. Question: your artificial setup…it’s a carolina rig with a 1/16th oz jighead on the end? Whats the rationale between using a jighead vs an unweighted hook?

Great report, hell of a way to end it! Thanks for posting

What size are you using? I normally go with 6

I opened that link and went from six to midnight in a hurry 😂

Thanks John. I have all the louisiana artificial reefs in a file compatible with GED (still shocked LDWF actually put together a KML file!), and I also found the page to MS that you posted a link to. No file, but at least i have the coordinates.

“There’s levels to this shit” 😂😂
Yeah you right

I second this. My three best set ups have daiwa coastals, but they are pricey. I hate the tatula, feels cheap and plastic. As far as quality for price, I have several Lews speed spools that are around $100-$125 and have been really pleased with them.
