Do you have a trolling motor at all?
You really don’t need to anchor. You probably shouldn’t. I fished the Trestles for years without spot lock. Chas Champagne doesn’t use spot lock, either. If anything, you want to keep moving. The fish are more likely than not gonna be spread out. Using an anchor at the Trestles is like dumping out the contents of a burrito into a hotdog bun.
But if you absolutely just had to anchor at the Trestles you can make a wedge of wood to stick into the crevice above each piling. It was either Kreeger or Vandeborre I learned that from. You can also use a Danforth anchor, just be sure to have a tripping line on it, or modify it like this: https://www.lafishblog.com/pimp-my-anchor/

I will say this: do not go fish that stupid thing. I wouldn’t. Not when the fishing is 10x better in a dozen other places with a fraction of obnoxious boaters.
Yes, I filmed it, but only to add variety to the Dularge/Venice videos I have coming down the pipe. If I just wanted to catch fish I would go to Venice, Delacroix or Dularge, perhaps Lafitte (but I think you already went there).

Go here: Natural Fishing Spots
Then start at 1:59

That’s not the only flat you can fish in the area. But if you learn how that flat was made, you will be able to find them and fish the others, too.
I also have a video fishing that flat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oyoMssO4II

I’ll check that out, I may need some new ones soon! Thank you!

Hopefully you get it back soon. Any word on a timeline?
-
Well, hopefully you’re down there right now, but there’s pretty much unlimited rocks to jig in the Mississippi. Lots of great fish to be had in there.

DO IT!! DO IT NOW!!!!

Okay, that works just fine. A Danforth could work well for you, and you should probably have one in the boat anyway.
The west side of the Trestles has the most junk/snags. That’s where the junk and wooden pilings landed when they put in the concrete pilings in the 90s.

Likewise. Good times.

I did not go all the way to the rocks. I have no idea what flat you’re talking about.
Look at BC on Navionics and you’ll see a ledge in about 20ft of water on the northwest side. It is by that canal that runs to the northwest and the ledge runs all the way to the dredge pipe they have staged there. This is closer to the river than it is to the rocks at the end of BC. There may be birds spread across an area to give it away. We did fish the birds and we caught fish, but it was not like fishing birds diving on shrimp. I think they were just eating dead bait that floated to the surface. I never got a good look.
You can fish it with a half ounce jig, but an HDS worked better. Even if you don’t see bait balls, they are probably there glued to the bottom. You will need to cast to be sure.

f&%k that party!! Go to Venice! Attend artificial human constructs on some other day the river isn’t below 5ft!! The party is in the river!!!
-
I said “go to Dularge”! lol
-
Likewise. I’m def going. Plan is to catch a limit first thing at The Jump or BC then haul to Head of Passes to try that then Joseph Bayou to learn that more, then maybe South Pass for redfish. I’d like to fish Southwest Pass, but I have no idea how it’s gonna play with that NE wind.
I’ll be at Cypress Cove for before sunrise.

Thank you!
