I’m dying to know how SW Pass went for Team Just The Tip.
Like, if they ended up by you that quick then there’s a lot of territory they either didn’t cover or they covered like a friggin boss. It’s hard to tell.

Great post. Thank you so much for posting it. When members actually take time to raise concerns/questions they can be addressed here to really fill out the amount of useful content in this forum. It really is that easy.
Yeah, so when you export from your Lowrance/Simrad and convert that .usr file to .kml, you will end up with a few extra folders. One is for your actual waypoints, another is for your tracks. Inside the folder for your tracks you’ll have your actual trail and then a folder called “Points” that populates that trail with waypoints. You don’t need the data in the “Points” folder.
If you look at the attached pictures, you’ll see waypoints “7” and “8”, which are just fishing spots I have picked out. Then you’ll see the blue trail, or the breadcrumb tracks from that day of fishing. Look closer and see all the dots along it. One of them has been selected, “Trail 2-1238”. That’s one of the waypoints in the Points folder. It is unnecessary.
So what you should do when you offload your GPS data from your Lowrance is pull out the “Path” track for whichever day of fishing, rename it to the date of your fishing trip and store it in your My Places folder (or wherever).

Naturally, I would go for figuring out the rest of the speckled trout and limiting out on them then rolling out for snapper, TWD or whatever. That’s just me.
But it’s 8am and you guys are for sure already out there doing the dang thing. Good luck.
Also, goes without saying, this report and what you guys did absolutely kicks ass. That and the weather cooperated so you guys definitely lucked out. It was just meant to happen.
We’ll have to plan a fall trip and hopefully the planets align again.

The Wall needs to be photoshopped into the background of all these pics.
And tell me this trip wasn’t better than a Wall trip. lol

I removed that video from YouTube ages ago because no one watched it. The only thing worse than a sight fishing video is a dock light video. It’s dark, people can’t see what’s happening and most people largely used it just to see which docks to fish.
But, we do have this forum now, and if you have any specific questions about what to do, tackle, where to go, etc. we are more than happy to help out. Well, I am. Everyone else is in Venice doing the work of the gods.

That is fascinating.
But I’m sure you’re not the only person to read that article.
So, it’s a case of trying to find them somewhere else or that’s just where they are at.
If I were you, I’d figure out why fish are there. What’s bringing them to those docks? You know how many docks are elsewhere in Louisiana and big trout are never on them?
Also, what’s the salinity there? I find it hard to believe that it’d be high enough for summer trout, but I could be dead wrong (which I’m totally fine with, just part of learning).
-
Well, either way, for someone who’s caught so many fish, he sure does get uptight when he’s got one on.
Also, that entire video is very geo-locatable.
-
Anyway, what’s the context? Are those customers he’s snapping at? Or just drinking buddies?
-
Man, we really could’ve used that guy in Fallujah.

Also keep in mind that saltier Gulf water is so much closer because you have the deep Gulf of America right there. No other place in Louisiana features this. V-Bay is shallow for awhile, so it’s easier to stay dirty/fresh.
So, those spillways are like right there wherever it is trout spawn. That and some just move in sooner and not all of them spawn at once at the same time. I think some take breaks and move to where there’s shelter and food. The river is the perfect place for that right now.
I’m not saying there will be a bagillion trout in the river, but at the further reaches you should find some.

To piggyback this, I would prefer SW Pass because there’s more to fish on the way there and in the vicinity. Looking at South Pass….ehhh…not as much IMO. You can hit that other beach you fished from Joseph Bayou, though I am not sure as to the route to take. I’m guessing a straight-ish shot.
Also, there’s that canal that parallels SW Pass in the event you need to use it. Just more options.
