I think it’s a brilliant idea to get everyone together. It’s actually been on my mind. The concept is a good one, the execution I’m mulling over. I think keeping things “simple stupid” are good. Maybe not a tournament but just get together, even go fishing. Kinda like what we serendipitously did. lol Get all the boats together and go crash The Wall. LMAO You know what I mean.
Or something as simple as bringing lawn chairs and chilling at the dock after fishing would be good. I used to do that a lot at Breton Sound Marina, before LAFB.
I figured waiting until the aftermath of the holidays has settled (so next month) and once I’ve got all the video edited and uploaded, which is coming along at a pretty good clip. Let’s revisit this in the next week or two.

“When does Venice turn on for big trout? Spring?”
Spring, but I depends a lot on the river. I’ve read about fishing cane stubble in places near deep Gulf water like East Bay for big trout.

“I did eventually do that but idk I wish that I had explored more.”
I’d say given that it’s your first time you did great. Like, that’s a helluva start. Now you know what you’ve read about and how to go about tackling it. The Jump is great to fish because it gives you a taste (right away not far from the dock) what the rest of the river will be like. Like, you get mad fishing skills/instinct/knowledge by fishing The Jump.
You did great.

Make something so good it can’t be ignored. No salesy bullsh*t. No gimmicks. Just the real deal. I actually know what I’m doing and have the limits of fish over many years to prove it.
My content has made appearances in that brand for years, because I obey the above principle.
Thank you for sharing.

He returns victorious!
The Jump is something else, huh?
I’m glad you were able to get down there and get your feet wet. Now we wait patiently for next year. Honestly, let’s hope for another 2023 where we have a drought. It will suck for the farmers and people’s lawns, but will be great for the speckled trout fishing.

Hopefully it will be better than the one at California Point. lol
Oh, I just glossed over the article and it looks like they are further out for red snapper. Well, darn. Those pyramids are cool, though! It’d be great to see those in Chef Pass.
Thanks for sharing.

I’ll keep this in mind. Right now there’s a lot on my plate and when I make room I’ll consider this. For now, if you’ve got something to BST, then just post it in the general discussion forum. Thank you.

You didn’t throw an 1/8oz against the rocks at all?
19 trout ain’t bad considering how hard that area’s been getting hit.
Great report, thank you for posting it!

Somewhere down there is a Nautic Star doing mean things to fish. lol
YCB is d-d-d-dark. The trout are gonna go in there next. I’m calling it now.

I’m editing my trip to Dularge right now and keep checking Geosphere. River looks “good” from 20,000 miles away. lol So I hope you’re on ’em doing good work. The wind at Pilottown looks goooood. You lucky SOB!!!
Next time, pretty please with a cherry on top lol, try to post before the biggest holiday of the year. I was sitting down yesterday thinking, “No one’s gonna post in the Community on Christmas Day” lol. Well now I know better. I now live in paranoia and will check as often as I can LOL Thanks, Daniel.

“what is this” is called Second Spillway
When you fish Baptiste Collette, push up to that canal that runs to the NW and fish the platform there.
You’re not fishing rocks so much as you’re fishing ledges. When you are in The Jump you are fishing in 27ft of water, more or less.
Rocks 8 could be good.
The rocks across from Rocks 4 are good.
The rocks immediately downstream of First Spillway (which is upstream of your “what is this”) are good.
To be clear, the two canals north and the two canals south of the West Bay Diversion are laden with rocks. You will wreck if you try to run them. Do not go in them. Approach them carefully if you’re going to fish them at all. I wouldn’t bother, I’ve fished them the last couple years and never really had much to show it for aside from a bass and a rat red.
Hopefully you’re doing good things out there. Again, I wish I saw this sooner.

There’s something they’re eating down there. Probably a lot of potbelly minnows.
-
Just do it! That fog is good. Trout bite better in it, I swear.
I wish I woulda seen this post before this morning, but there really isn’t anything I could say beyond what I’ve already posted in my reports.
Hopefully you whack ’em.

Yeah, more on that here: https://www.lafishblog.com/go-to-this-spot-in-venice-if-you-hate-your-lower-unit/

Wow. That’s some customer service. That makes me want to consider Avid for the “next boat”. I really like the Xpress X21, but Avid may be where it’s at if they’re that cool about it. Thanks for the update.
