“I probably should have tried a HDS. I need to start trying it more often.”
That is 100% killing you. Get like a couple dozen of those tied up and ready to go in a ziplock bag, then have a ride that’s just dedicated to one, at least one.
Anytime you can’t get presentations because a certain tackle isn’t available, that is definitely keeping you from catching fish.
Great report, thanks for posting!

It sounds like you did your best. I wasn’t there, but if you weren’t drifting, then try that next time. If you’re drifting faster than 1mph, then consider getting a drift sock. Gus’s Tackle in Slidell can rig one up for you, if that’s near to you. Any good tackle store can point you in the right direction.
Great report, thanks for posting!

Man, I did great in Biloxi Marsh that morning then tried Lake P in the afternoon and got skull dragged. lol It was definitely a morning bite and thank you for posting this report to confirm that.
Great report, thanks for posting! You’re on a roll, keep up the momentum!

Yeah, I yoinked that video. For those who haven’t seen it, you can watch it here: https://www.lafbelite.com/tornado-vs-bass-boat/
Don’t go sharing that link outside this forum or I’m removing it.

dude, south side of the Rock Dam

That guy was getting a new a-hole ripped in the comments.
“5 minutes putting on a poncho but no life vest.”
“So you guys knew there was a tornado, saw it, and still went out? Not only that but you brought your dog out there with you? I honestly can’t believe how stupid you guys are and the fact that you did that to your dog is neglect. It’s one thing putting yourself in danger but the dog too?
And if you wanna try something fun you should go out to open water, jump in, and then try to put a life jacket on.”
“Dumbest shit I’ve seen all year, and it’s the last day of the year too.”
Yeah, I guarantee you this guy had some naive outlook on content creation, with his whopping 76 subscribers his video got 27k views in a couple days time. He probably thought he’d be the next Mr Beast of fishing or something. LOL Yeah, no.
Instead he caught a lot of heat, mostly for endangering the dog. LOL Dude, YouTube viewers are savage. Do not give them that kinda ammo. lol Oh man.
So it looks like homeboy took down the video. If he prefaced his video with some humility and learning points like “hey, I was dumb and made a mistake and this is what happened, don’t let this happen to you, I’m lucky to be alive, take tornado warnings seriously, etc.” then he would have had good content, but given his dumbass AI thumbnail and “w0w lOok aT mE sUrvIVinG tEh t0RnaDo” title he was destined to get ragged on by the masses.

That Tracker flipped right over. Unreal.
I push the envelope more than most folks out there, but I woulda looked right at those conditions and said “no way”.
Gotta hand it to his friend when he said “I’m going down with ya”. Yes, you almost did, bud. lol
What a wild story. Thanks for sharing.

My report pales in comparison to yours. It was def a morning bite then. I was hoping you guys were gonna post so I could compare notes. When I got out there at noon the party was over lol I figured that but it was on the way home and you “gotta go to know”
Great report, thank you for posting!

There should be a metric sh*tload of fishing reports for Cypremort Point from yesterday. Everyone and their mom was out. I know when I want to know if folks are catching out of there or not, I check this fishing guide: https://www.facebook.com/people/Acadian-Outdoor-Charters-LLC/100063646147377/
It looks like he’s been catching and I’d bet dollars to donuts that he’s been catching in The Cove or Shark Bayou. I don’t think he’s running out into V-Bay or going to the oyster reefs south of Marsh Island.
After that, I would search for a Facebook group for Cypremort Point and check reports there. I would look but I don’t have Facebook. The above link is just something I found from my notes in years past.
After that, trailer your boat to Lake Decade. It’s just as far as I drive anywhere else. A lot of folks perceive that I live next to where I fish and that things must be easy for me. Hell no. My ride back from the last Venice trip was 3.5 hours.
Dularge was a cool 2.5, Pointe a la Hache is about 1.5, Grand Isle 2.5 and sometimes more depending on NOLA traffic. But nobody here remembers the drive, they just remember the awesome fishing reports and YouTube videos.
Make the drive. You have like, what, three fishing reports from reliable members in here showing successful trips to Dularge?

“along with 25 generations of our ancestors”
Danish is a rare model in Louisiana, but it slaps.
“Hopefully it brings a Jubilee but I havent checked the winds/water levels yet.”
Unless something changes, I doubt it. It will make fishing in the marsh good, though.
“kids had an amazing time and chatted up people that got too close. It was actually the most peaceful deterrent I never considered.”
That is hilarious. ha ha ha ha ha
Great report, thanks for posting!
-
I’d be shocked if Academy doesn’t have them. They’re called sinker stops or bobber stoppers. Like, any tackle store that doesn’t carry these is not a real tackle store. lol It’s very basic tackle mostly used for sliding cork rigs and Texas Rigs.
-
I think that’s worth trying. I would def fish over a few reefs out there before giving up on it.
-
“Usually, people just put pictures stating they caught fish, and that is it.”
That’s normal. That’s all you’re going to have to work with. There’s not much reading between the lines to do there. It just means they’re catching and, if they can, then you can, too.
I think the hardest thing for people is not knowing which lure to tie on, or even where to go, it’s just the confidence to go in the first place. Well, one will never get it if he doesn’t just launch the damn boat and go. Lake Decade and The Cove will help you get that confidence.
“You are such a large wealth of knowledge that is great to listen to you.”
Thank you so much.
Also, you really haven’t made a plan. Like, what’s your plan? Where do you want to fish? What are the forecast conditions like? When you do that, you’re critically thinking about your fishing trip.
Look, there’s no video I or anyone can make that will unlock the guaranteed success of your fishing trip. If you don’t apply what’s taught in 101, then you won’t make much headway. I see that you did in fact complete that course, so that’s good. Congrats, you now have more knowledge and expertise than I had when I started out. You probably have a better boat, too.
You know where you’re launching from, so that’s good. But do you have things like points, tidal highways, ponds, etc. picked out? Where are deep holes you’re eyeing? Clear water?
How hard have you looked at Cypremort Point? Let’s see it.

Ha ha ha ha!
Yeah, they must’ve gotten on the wrong boat. Like, why didn’t they go to Minnesota or North Dakota where their other Nordic kin went? I just hate mosquitoes and hate having to spray for them. Like, all I want to do is enjoy my backyard, watch the sun rise, read a book, but no, the damn bugs are on me in December.
My family is from Indiana and when I was young we’d visit there. Man, no mosquitoes, just lightning bugs. In fact, there’s not much there to bite you. It’s not wet and moist all the time. Things last. Summers are bearable. lol
On another note, more people are Danish than they realize. Just by way of immigration in the 400s then the 800s to England.
I also visited Roskilde and Copenhagen in 2009. Great country. It’s like a giant HOA and everyone can follow the rules. Everything is clean, orderly and organized. Basically the polar opposite of Louisiana. LOL We’re glad to have you.

Go to Delacroix, or the heart of Biloxi Marsh.
Problem is, in Delacroix all the dead shrimp guides are whacking the daylights out of the slots and in Biloxi Marsh the bow guides are shooting the daylights out of them. But you can find them. Also consider Reggio.
