“He actually hooked one on his own (fish was suicidal lol ). I had to reel it in. Dude is a beast with a push button. He is too small for any real pole.”
That’s pretty good at two. Just roll with that, the “real” fishing rod will come soon enough. Keep up the good work.

That’s awesome. Just fantastic. I started taking my kids out there at about that age. They’re happy just to be there, they don’t have to be masters at casting or anything like that. I think getting in the “wild” and interacting with wildlife (even if it’s just a trout or whatever) is great for them.
Excellent report, thank you for posting it!
-
Yeah, the fish definitely have one foot in winter and the other in fall. The coming cold front will form them up.
I don’t recall, do you keep your boat in a slip?
13 keepers is great. Consider I caught ZERO. lol ha ha ha ha
Great report, thanks for posting!

Meant to attach this.
I don’t have any pictures as I was filming, but trust me, you will see the highly anomalous trout bite that is Lake Decade. I feel like this morning was a fever dream or something and didn’t actually happen. LOL

Using this past report to plan for tomorrow. Total lifesaver for tomorrow. Again, thank you for posting it!
-
I’ll be headed down there tomorrow to build off of what you reported here. Thank you.

Ugh, man, sorry to hear this. Let’s see what we can look at here: Did you fish Pointe Fienne and Bay Jack? How? Did you drift at all and throw a popping cork?
-
I’ll say it: I have no idea what a flush bag is, though I can guess. Never used one, always used the muffs. Let us know what you come up with!

“I will make a post later on this but he had some very interesting things to say.”
I am dying to know what that man thinks.
What a great report. You are doing legendary Louisiana fishing (with a legend). Good stuff. Thank you for posting this, it makes me very hopeful for our fishery. The rest of us in boats need to step it up! lol

Man, well I’d say Dularge is a shoe in given the report I posted today. It was a lot of fun.
I did get a second hand report about ten days ago that they were catching in The Jump and the water was garbage. I’ve been watching the Belle Chasse FNU meter like a hawk, as well as daily sat imagery and the river just hasn’t cleaned up like what she was before. I will know for certain tomorrow.
The boat’s fuel tank is topped off and I am ready to fish from Bay Denesse to Baptiste Collette to YCB to 1st Spillway to South Pass. It’s gonna be that kind of day. I’ll give a report when I get back tomorrow, just understand it will be a long day so don’t be surprised if I post it late in the evening.

I want you to crush them so let me give you more details lo
I caught the majority of my trout on a 4 Horseman with 3ft of 20lb FC leader with a 1/16th oz Deathgrip jighead and a chartreuse sparkle beetle at the end. I did catch a few on the Mirrodine, but it was practically a comedy routine watching them pick the cork over the Mirrodine.
I went to that point “Flat 1” right away and that’s where I got on them. But I did fish a lot of the southern shoreline at “Rocks” and pretty much caught them along the way, and other boats must have as well because they were spread out along it. I was about 100-200 yards off the shoreline in 4-5ft of water. Stay in 4-5ft of water.
I also recommend using a drift sock to drift. You may not need one since the wind will be so low on Wednesday, so check your GPS to ensure you are drifting ~0.5mph. Anything over 1mph is too fast. Yes, it makes a difference. If you don’t have a drift sock then Gus can make one for you with a trip line at Gus’ Tackle in Slidell. He is open tomorrow.
Drift and pop that cork.
Ensure you are there popping a cork for the butt crack of dawn. Take advantage of that early light, they bite best then.
What makes Decade unique is that it’s a lot like Salvador and how Pontchartrain used to be: tons of shells on the bottom. But I found the most texturous, shell-laden bottom to be at “Flat 1”. You want to be about 100 yards away from the shore.
Also, people get close to each other in Decade. The Greater NOLA area is like a bunch of prudes who cannot stand the sight of a naked man, whereas Dularge is like a bunch of sailors packed nekkid into an open shower room. People drift close to each other and say hi in Dularge. They even run their boats past each other, cook boudin and blare music and it’s normal. It’s like visiting another country. Maybe bring your passport.

Delacroix is way more hazardous with fog. Look at Dularge on a map. You launch into a canal and go straight for three miles. That’s it. It is the easiest navigation you will ever do and it is wide, plenty of room for boat traffic. You cannot possibly screw it up. Just follow all the Cajuns. They will lead you to the promised land.

Thanks for providing that. So where we fished was a little northwest of you, but essentially the same body of water. We were just drifting and popping corks and would spot lock when we caught fish and fan cast around.
Of course, that was before the nasty cold front, so I am not sure what to tell you. I heard that some guides whacked the trout in Delacroix today in “Grand Lagoon” but there is no Grand Lagoon. There is one in Slidell, or maybe the person meant Grand Lake, but I do not recall much, if any, trout coming from there.
In the last few days I got less-than-stellar reports coming out of Delacroix.
If it gives you any comfort, I got my ass kicked today, too. lol It happens. But I think you experienced some kind of fluke in Delacroix. I’m going to get more information then report back here if/when I get it.
Either way, great report, thanks for posting it!
