Happy Birthday and welcome!
If you apply everything you learn in here you will 100% catch fish out of your set up. You won’t find anything better than what you’ll learn here. I actually had a trolling motor powered kayak briefly before I bought my boat. Good luck!

Devin, based off those estimates, is this the worst fish kill you have ever seen?
Losing those Trout are terrible, but it seems like 2-3 years of Redfish Stock is like an atomic bomb being dropped on them. That hurts BAD.

Nice reel! Casting tackle opens up a whole new world of inshore fishing. The casting accuracy and control you have over the lure is awesome.
-
Nice report! How did you do with jigging the rocks and snags? Seems like you did well

This is a great report. It really sucks the news you’re delivering though. I think you’re spot on about Lake P and all those other areas with some really deep water nearby. Seems to be the only area that no one has reported a fish kill. I was optimistic at first, and still want to be, but now fish kill reports are just stacking up. It really sucks.
Sounds like a broken sheer pin on your trolling motor. I’ve been there before doing the exact same thing as you LOL. Pretty easy to change on Minn Kota so I started keeping a 5 pack backup on board.
“Made my way up the canal to spots 10 – 18 (i think?). The pipeline ROW was blocked off for construction but there was a skiff sized opening I made it through.”
Tremendous.

About the only place I haven’t seen or heard of fish kills in the masses is Lake P. As if that place needed any more pressure.

This is horrible. Man this sucks.

Good luck!

I’m remaining positive and hope you’re right. I know social media can make things seem much worse than they actually are.

I’ll put it this way: I had my kayak for about 30 days, fully rigged it out, then sold it and bought a bought a boat month later.
In my opinion, Kayak fishing is a great way to get your feet wet (no pun intended) with fishing. The only thing I didn’t like was how limited I was to one area.
However, if you’re first getting started with fishing, it’s a great choice. I think you’ll enjoy it!
I fished Lake Catherine mostly with mine. I caught 11 speckled trout out of it one day in Sawmill Pass next to a bunch of boats. I felt like the minimalist King.

Man 8-10 sacalait on the Tchefuncte would have me doing backflips I’d be so fired up. The most I’ve ever caught is 5 LOL. It’s such a tough river but I hope to have more success this year.
I drove by the 4th Street launch on my way home from work and saw that they are re-building it currently. So who knows how long it’s out of commission. That must be why the public ramp by the drawbridge in Madisonville has been so busy lately.

I talked to a reliable source (you would know of him) and he said this is the worst fish kill we have had since 1989. He said the difference between now and then, was that back then it was easier to for the fish to rebound because Louisiana had a lot more marsh, a lot more fish, a lot more forage for them to eat, and a lot less PRESSURE from anglers. He estimates it only took them 2 spawning cycles to rebound more or less.
So back then compared to now, it will likely take way longer for a rebound.
This is echoing what you are saying, so hearing it from multiple people I trust, I think y’all are both spot on.
I think you should make a YouTube video about this. You have a great following and your words hold a lot of weight in the Inshore Community. Whether or not people love or hate it, I think they need to hear what you have to say about this subject. That and no one else that has a following like you in the Louisiana Fishing Community has enough spine to tell it like it is and call things out. Just my two cents.
-
That’s awesome! I love when you think you’re snagged and then that reel starts screaming. Great feeling.
-
Look up Lock 1 in the Pearl. Just a fair warning. Catching a mess of sacalait can be quite addicting.

Black crappie are pretty fish
