Awesome day man. It’s awesome getting on a pile of redfish like that. That catfish is gonna eat best of all though! Thanks for the report!

Man all these reports from everyone are making me jealous AF! I haven’t been out yet in 2025. I’ve just been too busy with stuff. Hoping to get out next weekend to Delacroix. Thanks @Devin @ShooterMcGrabbin @leviwalters for yalls reports!

“Also makes untangling two or more rods a lot easier. This is key when taking people fishing.”
My goodness I never thought of this. Untangling line when my coangler casts over me is my biggest trigger on the water. Thanks for sharing this!

Thanks for the heads up

Thanks for your report! This weather makes everything so much more challenging. I’ve been wanting to get out there and try the areas you fished in this report so I appreciate you reporting back. That area behind the apartments you fished is called Lakeshore Estates. Some people call them the Lakeshore canals. Great winter spot so you were in the right place.

That’s an insanely epic day, bank fishing or not!! Hell of a report!

I have never fished Venice in March but I will give this my best shot based off what I’ve learned.
The river will definitely be higher and the water will be dirty. It will be on a warming trend, but the river itself will likely have cooler water temps than everywhere else around it, such as the outer bays.
March in Louisiana is a weird month because it will feel like spring with some days of summer mixed in, but then you’ll still have a random cold front come through that will make it feel like Antarctica. So the weather is just wild. It’s also typically windy so that will affect where you will be able to fish.
What kind of boat are you running? That will have an impact on where you can go.
If you’re looking for big fish, then my strategy would be to fish the outer bays off the main passes wherever water will be the cleanest. That will depend on the wind direction and river levels. West Bay down around the mouth of SW Pass can be good for bull reds. I’ve got a buddy who targets big fish only, and his go to for Bull Reds in Venice is West Bay near the mouth of SW Pass.
I’ve also heard of people catching Bull Reds around the mouths of Red Pass and Tiger Pass.
If you want to catch gigantic blue cats, then you really won’t have to go far. Try fishing the main passes near the marinas. Especially close to the cleaning tables. You may not even need a boat to do this. I know for a fact you can catch monsters with this strategy.
I could be way off on all of this FYI. This was just off the cuff information but if it were me, I would roll with it and see what happens. Hope this helps.

I would definitely say the Biloxi Marsh is probably the most intact. After that the marsh around Cocodrie.
Like Devin said though, some of that stuff that humans created does help fishing to a degree. And lately the Biloxi Marsh just has not been the producer that it once was.

Lol, the “let nature take its course” would be an amazing default decision, but as well all know, we can’t have anything cool that is built by nature without someone going to F with it.
Another pass/cut that has built a lot of land to the west of the river is West Bay Cut. If you scroll through recent GED images it’s pretty amazing what it’s done.
I’m a big proponent on letting the river do what the river is supposed to do. Let it build land and habitat. I understand the need for levees and generally agree with them as far as protecting people’s property and such, however the repercussions they have caused do suck. I wish whenever they dredge areas, they would use the dredge material for something useful, rather than just pumping all the spoil up on the bank. They could take that spoil and build more land somewhere else, thus creating actual habitat. That might make too much sense for our decision makers though.
One guy who is really invested in this type of stuff is Chris Macaluso. I love when he gets rolling talking about the River and what it can do to benefit our fishery. He’s like a walking encyclopedia.

I’ll be tuned in! Good content to go along with good fishing is just tough to pass up
-
My guess is redfish too. Insane how many were there!

Yes!!! I’m ready for the next one after this too haha
