It sounds like you’re covering water and trying new spots. That’s great. You’ve been on a roll, and I’d say it’s good to figure out some spots “where they ain’t”
Great report, thanks for posting!
-
I am so happy to hear this. What a great sign. If it’s this good this early then it will only get better as fall progresses.
Great report, thanks for posting!

Right now I’d be looking hard for white shrimp. That pattern is the easiest to do. Martello Castle in Lake Borgne or Mud Lake in Slidell on a hard falling tide is a good start. Reference Fall Fish Location for the rest.
-
Hopefully the tide will be falling next time you go. I would begin looking really hard at Mud Lake. The sitting/diving birds will be a dead giveaway.
After that, I’d give the grass beds between the Hwy 11 and Trestles on the south shore a try. Those can be really good this time of year.

Nice bull red.
The app is coming along. There’s been some hiccups, but they’re getting ironed out. Someone mentioned a messaging feature and I’d like to integrate that as well.
Either way, thank you for posting an intro! Hopefully you’re able to get on the water a good bit this fall.

Check out these two. LA-46 Boat Storage and Toca Boat Storage:

and
https://www.google.com/maps/place/Toca+Boat+Storage/@29.8744539,-89.8362364,1327m/
Other places closer to where you would launch at Campo’s or Hopedale Marina have boat storage, but they’re not behind the flood wall. So if there’s shenanigans with even just a strong east wind, and you stored your boat outside of the flood wall, then you will find making the ride from Alabama to trailer your boat to safety.

Hey Tyler, thanks for introducing yourself. Hopedale is a great place to fish out of, but don’t be shocked if you see more/better reports coming out of places like Venice or even Delacroix.
Either, thanks for saying hi and welcome to the forum!
-
I bet some are already inside. Some come in sooner, some come in later (trout that is).
-
They are restricted only to members of LAFB Elite.

The old and new one! That’s hardcore. Thank you your patronage. lol Stay dry in this storm.
-
Yep! Just like I mentioned in the article: https://www.lafishblog.com/deleted-my-social-media/
-
Ha ha ha ha, yeah that was another pet peeve of mine. I hated it when people would stop to eat. Do that after the trout bite is gone. I’ll not eat all day if it meant whacking the trout. lol
-
Ohhhhhhh that makes sense.
Yeah, we just call it “Oak River”. But I like using “RAC”. It’s like code talk.
Yeah, I think fishing off RAC is fine. It’s pretty much good year round. It could be worth your time.
It could be good for speckled trout this fall. I don’t remember if they made an appearance last year or not, but before the Freshening they traditionally have.

“Do you really think installing locks at chef and rigolets pass will ruin fishing? I believe these locks remain open unless there is storm surge coming…”
It depends on how they’re built. If they’re built like every other flood gate in Louisiana, where there is a wall then something just wide enough for boat traffic, then that will change how water flows and how much of that water marine life can use.
If the flood gates are built in such a way as not to affect the flow capacity/velocity of the passes, then they’ll be okay.
I understand that the gates will only be closed to prevent storm surge from entering, but my concern is how the gates are built. In all fairness, I haven’t inquired as to how these gates will be built. But, I do understand that Louisiana has a penchant for fixing things that aren’t broke, then ignoring the things that are.
Some days I’m like “F*&% this, I’m moving to North Dakota.” lol Other days I’m more optimistic and patient.
