I’d go tomorrow if it weren’t for the wind! Will def go later when it turns out of the east and calms a little.

“This was an enjoyable trip: quick, easy, close to home – and I ended up with 8 nice keepers among 14 speckled trout”
It’s so hard to beat that. No trailering, no crappy launch, no walking through a muddy parking lot, no putting up with room-temp IQ people at the launch lol! Just sounds like a relaxing and fun fishing trip.
“so I persisted until a small white trout solved the mystery for me and I moved on.”
Ah yes, the ol’ 10″ white trout simulating a school of speckled trout. lol
Geoghegan Canal might turn on after this front.
Great report, thanks for posting!

Good night! Holy smokes! What a friggin’ day of fishing. I just can’t right now. Oh man, you are driving me nuts with this. I. Should. Have. Fished. Yesterday. ArrggghhhH!! lol
Okay, I’ve stayed away from the Trestles, but I may go out there. I do enjoy jigging in front of a crowd if I can make it happen. 😉
I assume there were a lot of boats out there. If there were not, then there’s gonna be. lol
Yeah, Hwy 11 bangs a lot better on a falling tide.
Epic report of the ages, thank you for posting!
-
It makes me very happy to know you guys went out there and had fun catching trout. I see that you followed the Lake Decade Standard Operating Procedure LOL
Also, thank you for taking time to post a report. Many people take and don’t give, and it’s nice to know my report helped someone. So getting that feedback is wonderful.
@dannonc89 forget Venice, go to Dularge and drift Lake Decade!!!!!

“My skeg took some damage”
If that thing was in great condition before then I’m shocked. Now it’s just another south Louisiana skeg. lol
“The water is always shockingly clear back there and great when conditions are tough.”
That’s great intel.
I fished that day as well, and it took some moving around to find them. I eventually found them at a spot that may as well have been designed for post-cold front fishing, so that’s that (The Wall). Now I’m not sure where to go around Lafitte to find something like that, but you tried and now you have the experience.
Great report, thanks for posting it!

That’s a really good point.
I wonder if the trout really ever left the river. I heard Ryan Lambert say that they just got outside of the river when she came up to 6ft, then got back in when she went down.
Well, it looks like the river may do that again. We shall see. Either way, I am going tomorrow. It’s gonna be cold, so I am dressing warm and making sure my spare clothes are good to go.
-
Of course nothing is guaranteed! I am definitely riding in the blind (or blind-er) on this one. I’m gonna go. Gonna do tackle and load up those waypoints right now. It’s gonna be cold. I’ll report back tomorrow and, of course, want to hear feedback from any other members.
Thanks, Oliver.

Thank you!

I may. Right now I’m just trying to figure out somewhere new to go to film for YT.

I don’t have a video for Dularge published yet.
Here’s my report from the 16th.
You want to launch from Falgout Canal Marina. Whatever navigation app you use will take you there.
Take a right out of the marina and go to Lake Decade. It’s about three miles. You cannot possibly miss it.
-
Interesting. Well, I would fish Shark Bayou after the cold front, then maybe slip out in The Cove, but I may go fish somewhere more protected. Thank you for the intel!
-
It blows my mind how people, even after all these years, do not go to Hwy 11. Good. Good.
-
Awesome, please do! I just want you and your son to stomp the daylights out of the trout and have fun catching fish.
Something else I thought of: you don’t really need to do any navigational homework for Dularge. But you will for Venice! That place is FAFO for lower units. That and your trolling motor had better be in great shape (as you already know). But for Lake Decade no trolling motor is necessary. A drift sock helps, but is not necessary.
If you need info for anything else, then let us know!
-
Yeah, look at the report by @jbc Lake Decade is on fire!
-
What Levi said. That time spent driving could be spent fishing instead. You’re just drifting Lake Decade. It’s way easier than putting up with the river, LNG Plant & Belle Chasse traffic.
