I would count on it rising more as snow in the north melts. I just don’t know how much snow melt there will be. Every year is different. I like to think that we’ll get a break since the snow was plopped on us this year. lol
Hopefully the Mississippi stays in the single digits and drops below 5ft soon, like she did a couple years ago. What the MS does, the Atchafalaya will follow.

Welcome to the Community and thank you for posting an intro!
It sounds like you’ve seen a lot over the years, but the old adage is true: one never stops learning. Inshore fishing is a continual game, like shooting a moving target.

That’s pretty handy dandy. I’ll have to take a look. Usually I just read the entire article, they’re not long at all. BUT, to process all of them? That’s something else.
I’d be worried that the AI will miss nuance, but I guess you’d only learn that by actually trying it.

Oh yeah, about the book: it’s under review at Amazon right now.
It is BIG. There is nothing like it and I’ve read/own most of the good fishing books published over the years. It’s nearly 500 pages long. So, that’s a lot of complete information, but also expensive to print. So that sucks. But it’s still way cheaper than learning it all the hard way.
Hopefully the book gets approved. If enough people buy it and like it, I’ll write more.

Y’all need better friends. Man, if I invite someone to go and they don’t show up, then that’s donezo for future invites. Do what you want with your generosity (you have a lot of it!) but I got tired of setting up the boat (i.e. doing all the work and $$$) just to have someone bail out. If there’s a legit reason, then I can understand. But too often I’ve had people send a last minute text message saying they can’t go due to <insert obvious BS reason>. Usually they forgot or got too drunk the night before or whatever. Hell naw!
So now I only take folks who are DEE TEE EF. That’s it. This ain’t golf! lol
Anyway, you did really good! What a day of catching.
For anyone else reading, Josh is applying what he knows to a “new” area. That’s legit. First Lafitte, now Delacroix. Now we just gotta get him down to Venice. Or maybe just let those fish stay safe. lol
Great report, thanks for posting!

“can you explain how I can hyperlink instead of the entire link?”
Sure, see attached.

Cliff Hall ain’t no stranger. He’s been around for a minute, posted a sh*tload of reports on the “old” LAFB Elite FB Group and LAFB Inshore, and was capable and generous to take LAFB Inshore’s reigns when I was ready for someone else to have them.
As you can see, Cliff, this otherwise secluded and private forum is doing well in what amounts to be a niche hobby. Good people = good things.
Glad to have you here. Thanks for posting an intro, though you are an LAFB veteran.

I had no idea. Thanks for the heads up. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to make it or not. That and I’m not sure I need anymore fishing tackle. LOL If I put a single extra swivel in my garage, it’s going to explode!

Thank you so much for replying to me on this.
So, I ran it yesterday coming south from Port Eads and chickened out just short of 29° 5.925’N 89° 6.054’W, where you can see the exposed sandbar on 9/17/23 imagery, what you posted above.
On my way across I’d periodically come off plane to get a depth reading. Well, just outside of the bayou coming out of South Pass it was 4ft deep. There was a little swell coming in from the Gulf of America, and that helped me detect the water getting shallower toward that sandbar. The waves were beginning to crest. Not break, they were just forming up like it was shallower. That and I could see mullet zig zagging from the boat instead of diving, which indicates it’s shallow. I came off plane in 2ft of water! Then I tried to keep going but things got worse and I chickened out. lol
Also, I saw like no crab traps that way, which is kind of telling.
Then I had to be in Mandeville for 4pm, otherwise I would’ve kept trying. So I turned around.
But looking at my tracks from yesterday it appears that I drifted too far to the east. Perhaps there’s a way to get around it by coming from the north via SE Pass and feeling that out. I think that last path you posted is probably a better route.
Whenever I can get back out there, I will try again.

Yeah, I found it yesterday. LOL But not the hard way. I’ll post more below.

I would go, but am headed out of town this weekend, unfortunately.

I have to give you credit for coming down in March like that. Mad props. Way to just do the thing.
I’m sure the catfish were good eating, but I know you wanted bull reds. Well, let the river get down and stay down here in the next month or two (hopefully there’s not too much snow melt) and it will all be right back to kicking ass.
The end of the MRGO Long Rocks are good for bull reds, too. Just so you know. The wind has got to cooperate, however. That spot is pretty exposed.
Great report, thanks for sharing!

Ha ha ha ha ha
Yeaaahhhh, I went through that phase now I’m just using what I’ve got for the next 10 years.

That’s all I need to know. Thank you so much!
