Hey Daniel, thanks for saying hi.
There’s a Lafitte redfish report just posted, not sure if you saw that or not. Also, I think Lafitte is gonna explode with trout here in a little bit. Keep that boat ready. It’s about to pop off with fall fishing.

“my thoughts are I will monitor this after a couple of fishing trips and just change the gear lube again to check and see if that was my issue”
That’s what I would do, and I have a small collection of lower units to attest to this experience. lol Without pictures it’s hard to tell, but it sounds like to me that you’re okay.

Lery has just been a producer. If anything happens to that lake then the umpteen guides in Delacroix are gonna be out of work. LOL
I am stoked to see you went out there and had a great day despite the minimal tide. That’s a great box of fish. It’s only gonna get better as it cools and the white shrimp start running.

@dannonc89 has experience fishing out that way.
Also, you need to know about southwest pass. This video inside 101 I detail it. I also look at a bunch of other stuff you want to know about that area: https://www.lafbelite.com/lesson/if101-8-3/
In fact, if you haven’t knocked out 101 then you would save yourself a giant headache by just doing that now.
Thank you for introducing yourself!

I have no idea. I haven’t been that way since 2019. I hope it all went well and you the boat checked out okay.

” but here I am atoning.”
lol thank you
“Finished the day getting boarded by the Coast Guard (passed with flying colors) and with an empty ice chest. I took this as my sign that the summer pattern was coming to a close.”
Sound like my Breton Sound trip. lol
“So today was Plan Redfish.”
Good job not doing the same thing to get the same result.
“Water temp was a nice 85 degrees.”
That’s a good water temp. Way better than 90 lol
“It was hot, but it seems sooo much better than last year.”
Yeah it is!
Man, you did great. Excellent report, thank you for posting!
-
Yeah, the best use of this forum is to give us an idea as to what you want to do using the planning taught inside 101. What are the conditions, what are you targeting, etc? I’m glad you’re here, but nobody is going to do that homework for you.
I hope you made out alright.

What do you mean by “RAC”? I’m confused, and do not know of an area reachable from Sweetwater that goes by that acronym. Do you mean Pointe a la Hache?
-
I think y’all need to start fishing fall spots beginning right now.
Also, I am glad to see a good fishing report! I have heard that the redfish have been good in Delacroix, they’re just not sightfishable, or are more easily caught under a cork or blind casting.
Great report, thanks for posting!
-
That Avid is a nice boat and perfect for the fall fishing that’s right around the corner. Thank you for introducing yourself!
-
Hey David, I’m glad you’re here! Yeah, the MS Coast is awesome. Tons to do there and all you have to do is go for a walk on the beach. I heard folks have been gigging some flounder pretty well.
Thank you for posting an intro!

All I can say is “welcome to being informed about coastal restoration”.
It’s a fourth job on top of your actual job, then being a dad, being a husband, and whatever else comes before knowing the umpteen-million things going on with coastal restoration that are totally out of control.
Good job, but maybe remaining ignorant is better for your mental health.
St. Bernard Parish did something similar in 2012 when George Ricks took it upon himself to read the Master Plan and proceeded to empty his bowels into his pants repeatedly as he learned about the mid-Breton sediment diversion that had been on the books for a long time.
I’m not saying I agree with it, I am saying that a lot is being done that people don’t know about and, as a result, have not given their input.
This isn’t some intangible “politician” lining his pockets, its people not paying attention because they have 1,973,462 other things going on.
I can’t wait for them to install locks in Chef and Rigolets Passes and completely ruin the migration routes of shrimp, crab, tarpon, speckled trout, redfish and more.
If you thought Lake Pontchartrain’s fishing sucked, wait until they cut it off, all so we can save infrastructure that should have never been built to begin with.

Well, we get out towards the mouth and there is a massive dredge boat working in the middle of the pass. Then the only storm cell along the entire gulf coast opened up on us.
There is truly not a thing you could have done about that other than have a local provide that intel. Even then, I’m not sure, because you can’t see it on Sentinel EO, though you can see the dredge and spoil on 8/19.
So, great. That entire fishing spot is trash now. lol Just….geez.
A family of 7 checked into the room next to us and brought what sounded like a mariachi band. They didn’t shut it down until 2 in the morning.
Ahhhh….”camp culture”. People staying up late and drinking and partying as if it’s more important than the fishing. I always disliked that. Just go to bed and go fishing. Go to Bourbon Street for staying up late and drinking.
Water temp was 91 degrees in 4 feet of water off the beach
That’s ridiculously hot for fish and people.
I think we would have had much better luck if we had gone out to the rigs and fished a heavy drop shot of 1/2 oz jig in 20 ft of water.
I agree. That and the sunk Timbalier Rocks. That deeper water away from land is gonna be cooler. I know when I went on my recent Breton Sound trip that the water in the marsh was 90+ but in the Sound it stayed in the high 80s.
Looking forward to the fall boys.
You and me both.
I’m just making content and resisting the temptation to go lookin’ for ’em.
Great report, thanks for posting it!

Whew! Thanks for reporting back and letting us know. That’s a lifesaver.

That launch is rough, but doable. I do it with a 2wd drive truck, it’s just silted in a bunch.
