Two weeks in Colorado?! That had to have been nice. I’ve never been there, just assuming that it’s cooler, less humid and no mosquitoes. Also probably easy on the eyes.
Yeah, that ratio sounds a lot better than what it usually is. I hope that’s a sign that things are improving.
I’d be stoked to go there and catch 13 keepers. Great report, thanks for posting!

“Definitely worth it being one of the first boats on the water.”
Hell yeah, always is. Good job going to Campo’s. Not messing with the line at Hopedale Marina got you in the water faster. And Pat Turner didn’t yell at you. Bada bing, bada boom.
Why didn’t you go to the Long Rocks?
To catch 15 fish by 8am with two people isn’t bad, but if you caught them on the Short Rocks then those are generally fish that have spilled over from the Long Rocks. So my guess is the Long Rocks has more fish on it. Doesn’t sound like it mattered in the big scheme of things, though.
I’m guessing you didn’t try those coves and points on the north side of the MRGO?
Otherwise, great report, thanks for posting!

Quick question: what device are you typing your reports from? Somehow extra code got gunked in there. I removed it, just interesting how it got there.

He’s right, it is definitely shallow at Frenier Landing. Doable but shallow. I launched there last year.
When I go to that area you want to fish, I launch out of Kenner by Treasure Chest Casino.
That route out of Norco is news to me. I have not ran it, but do know that area is shallow with lots of stumps. I don’t see anything on Navionics or elsewhere indicating otherwise. There could be a channel coming out of there that I don’t know about. I just don’t know.
If you do go, then you’ll be exploring a route that’s new-to-me. I would idle that last leg of it going into the lake and watch sonar like a hawk.
If your friend says its good to go, then I see no reason not to trust him, especially if he’s ran it recently.
Good luck!

Yes. It was in several articles from different publishers at the time and since then. Here’s one from LASM:
“Most of the rock used to dam it off was barged in from upriver, but some of the rocks were pulled up from the 8-mile stretch of rock jetty at the end of the ship channel, leaving a big gap in the jetty.”
I’ve also graphed that gap extensively. It’s clear of rocks and there are no hazards to navigation to boats like ours there.

I have done that. With the long, scary ride in the dark. With and without night vision. lol
Night vision and planning routes on GED/Navionics helped a lot. One mystery piling that flew by 100 yards off my port bow gave me a pucker factor. lol

I had a Pathfinder 2200V years ago. What an excellent hull. That really was a great boat. Then the company had to go get all bougie on me. No, Pathfinder, I do not need a teak charcuterie board built into the bow. lol

Ha ha ha ha ha that’s amazing.
I know a guy who found a cache of power flour on the river and used the reward money to buy a set of HDS units for his boat.
Maybe keep that in mind when running the GOA or Breton Sound: have that tip hotline stored in your phone. lol

I am not worthy!!!

Because it was used to smuggle 150,000 pounds of devil’s lettuce into the US from Colombia.

Keep using it. Especially if it makes life easier for you. I was just curious, that’s all.

+1 on this

No problem. You’re the man for letting us know.
And of course there are white poles.
Whoever buys all this PVC and puts it out deserves an award or something. lol

I think you’re gonna have a blast and stand to find the mother lode of redfish. I hope so. Let us know how many you see. Hopefully at least ~65.

That is correct. Or, at least, what I’ve seen.
