    You know, looking at Windfinder now, it’s evident that it will be blowing considerably less in Delacroix. The mouth of Bayou Lingo, mouth of Bayou Robin, etc. could be good. It’s a strong SE wind, but you do have a 2ft falling tide!

    The knowledge/know-how you see for bass fishing translates to inshore fishing. Just understand that bass are harder and bigger and tend to suspend, whereas the trout we are catching are much shorter, softer and tend to stay glued to the bottom. This makes detecting them much harder.

    If you think you’re going to use sidescan to just zero in on trout like some kind of metal detector then you are mistaken. It’s really best used to judge what’s going on in the water. I generally use it to know the depth, bottom composition and to see if there are any baitballs in the area.

    Time on water and experience is your friend here. There are no real shortcuts to become savvy with sonar. Just keep it on and pay attention to it as you fish. Watch that screen and the marsh will surprise you with what it has to show.

    Generally, if it looks like a ghost town then that’s all there is: nothing.

    I can comment on this more when I get time, right now I’m kinda slammed. lol

    It sounds like you were on the shoreline in the lee of the land? And I am assuming you mean this report is for yesterday?

    I think you are correct. Get back out there when the tide is falling, or first thing in the morning when shrimp are up in the water column anyway and birds can see them.

    Man, we are *this close* to whacking the daylights out of the trout.

    Hard wind like that just makes fishing hard. That’s all there is to it.

    Great report, thanks for posting!

    You definitely tried your hardest, given the circumstances. Lots of respect for that.

    Let it cool off and tough days will go away.

    Great report, thanks for posting!

    Until it cools off significantly, I think it’s too soon to fish that area and really expect anything significant from it. I’d look hard at Martello Castle, but that wind is not good for it.

    Instead, I’d launch from Rigolets Marina to fish Mud Lake in the afternoon, looking for diving birds or drifting and popping a cork.

    “A quick Ai generated answer tells me the temperature as well as the shortened day light period trigger the migration.”

    Welp, there it is. That will be the death knell of LAFB. Y’all found LAFB and have enjoyed it/will enjoy it, but in the future I totally see it getting squeezed out by AI. And I trained their AI for free! Yay! Soooooo, yeah. lol

    “I’m assuming the warm temp has everything delayed.”

    It does. We just need a good front. Like, actual pandemonium out of the northwest. lol

    This is correct. Going across Zin Zin will be a little spicy, but doable.

    With your boat I’d look hard at The Jump, Baptiste Collette, Red Pass, West Bay cut, Head of Passes and maybe Pass a Loutre.

    I would define it as “doing things for people”.
