Death grip makes some 3/4 oz that you can get at most local tackle shops.

I used them back in July in Breton Sound and they were definitely needed.

HOTTEST FIRST POST OF ALL TIME AWARD GOES TO @Derek

[Boyce]

I can’t really help you on the camping. You’re a brave soul for bringing your family out there. My patience would run thin quickly lol.

As for the fishing, it sounds like you’ve got it. Options indeed. Please report back. Can’t wait to get out there!

[Boyce]

Keep that bad juju away!

NO NO NO

Devin is the only weatherman I trust

Man, wild story about your hand. That is great information and will definitely have me thinking twice before flipping those hammer Gaftops off the hook. Maybe I’ll just sacrifice my lure to save myself the pain of hand surgery.

Otherwise, great report! Glad you had a good day out there.

[Boyce]

All great info to include as well. See? Even a planning post made about planning posts gets good feedback.

I haven’t been fishing much lately. The fall is so close and it’s killing me. I’m moving in a week and after that I’ll be locked the f*%# in for some Fall Fishing.

Derek. You are my hero. Coming into LAFB as the new guy and immediately start firing off Venice posts. This is me giving you a virtual hug.

I think thats a solid plan. Multiple methods of communication is always best. Just want that last lifeline to be as close to fool proof as you can get and those PLBs are great.

I actually tested both side by side about a month ago in the EBM. The satellite mode on the iPhone does work, but you have to find the satellite, point your phone at it, keep it there, hope it connects, then you can send a text. If you’re deep shit and need help immediately, the chances of you being able to do that while you’re in distress are slim to none.

The Garmin will send the text within a minute or two of you pressing send. It connects to the satellite much faster. But the SOS button on the Garmin is instant. And in all honesty, that’s your lifeline right there. If you have to hit that SOS button, chances are you’re in a lot of trouble. But it’s one press and the coast guard has your location.

Give me the Garmin over the iPhone 100/100 times.

I even have proof:

It was so nice of Devin to follow me around that day as my camera crew. HA!

I have been tingling since December 22, 2024. Which is the last time I murdered Trout out of my boat in Venice. I did get a nice slay sesh in back in May, but nothing beats cold weather fishing in Venice in my eyes.

@mschultz304 I’m on a Venice heater so bear with me here. Another area you could explore that’s easy to get to and close to the marina is the mouth of Red Pass. Every time I have went out that way, there are bull reds and every other gigantic fish under the sun blowing up bait out there at the mouth and along the shorelines. I’ve never done well on Trout on there, but if you’re a Redfish guy, I’m confident you could fill the boat with Redfish out there

@Devin Bro the slow fall is K-I-L-L-I-N-G me. Just get down to 3 ft or below and stay there! Once she finally does that, then we can just turn our sights onto complaining about the warm weather still LOL.
