Tough trips happen and, to be fair, it’s only really the beginning of fall.
Congrats on getting through 101. It’s a lot of long-form content, but it has been condensed as short as possible to get the learning points across. I put a lot of time into writing a rough draft, editing, writing another draft, reading it over, editing it more, etc.
Sitting through those videos is vastly cheaper and easier than learning it how I did: the hard way. LOL
But you’re not done. Now it’s time to apply that knowledge. Bayou Bienvenue and that Greater NOLA area isn’t the worst place to fish, but we will pressure you to try new areas, especially Venice.
Great report, thanks for posting.

Just to be clear, you left the kids in the boat and hopped in the water for a free dive? That’s badass.

What an epic trip. Excellent report, and thank you for posting!

Thanks for posting this.

People have fished The Jump as long as The Jump has been there. As far as I know, anglers have always anchored off to the side, out of the main channel.
And seeing that I wait patiently all year for that spot and surrounding area to turn on, and given how crappy the fishing has been, I will spot lock there when I wish and they kiss my you know what, especially if all their pea-brain, limp wristed argument amounts to is “because I drive a big boat and I said so”.
Gonna need something more than that.

Yeah, sorry to hear that. I know how it goes. I get it.
Great report, thanks for posting!

Have you seen this launch here in Yellow Cotton Bay (YCB)?
I’m assuming that’s where you launched, I don’t know.
But based off your report, especially if there’s a N or NE wind, I’d launch there.
You did great. Excellent report. Thank you for posting!

Man, Louisiana sure is pretty. There’s no place like here.
That first evening with the white trout sounds like a blast.
Yeah, I’d close the door on Grand Isle, unless that white shrimp run by Lafitte kicks off.
Great report, thanks for posting!

Spots 7 thru 12 have great potential (High Line Pond). I’ve sight fished that on and off over the last ten years. That area has produced very well for me (sightfishing) over the years. It has changed a lot, what used to be water is now solid land. I’m sure you’ve seen that.
All the other spots the east…meh. They could be good now. Gotta go to know. It’s just super shallow in some places, so keep an eye out for crab traps. Also, lots of posted signs. So be careful and don’t be surprised if you get ran out. Same for your western spots. It is what it is.
Don’t be surprised if the redfish bite is better in deeper water in the river. I know you wanna sight fish them, but jigging may be where it’s at.
Yellow Cotton Bay could be good, too.
What’s the “inshore boat”? A bay boat? What kind/length?
As for the stump area, I’ve gotten back in there with a Majek Illusion, my flatboat and the Tracker. You def don’t want to run on plane willy-nilly back there. But some of the best sight fishing I’ve done was in High Line Pond.
Great planning post, thanks for making it. Good luck!

Dude yes. YES.
Great fishing report. Y’all did the dang thing.
THIS is Louisiana fall fishing. Behold!
Thank you so much for posting. We live in your shadow!!

Was the sky overcast?

Or is that the evening low-light conditions you were fishing?

+1

Yeah, +1 on this. Especially at The Jump with water this warm? Hopefully that’s a foreshadowing of things to come.
Of course the fishing will be awesome this fall and for one reason: I won’t be here. I’m taking a helluva job opportunity and will be leaving town as soon as next week. I will probably be gone until February.
Same reason we didn’t have any hurricanes this year: I got a generator, 500 gallon propane tank and Starlink. So naturally I won’t get the chance to field test them, right? lol You’re welcome, Louisiana!

I hate hearing that. Well, check out the latest reports to get more intel. And next time try to give us more of a heads up and we can get you more information. Thank you, Walter!
