I also want to mention that we did not fish deep holes at all. We just never got around to it. There may be something to it, I just don’t know. When Ben told me he corked ’em yesterday that was enough for me to know what to try today. If there’s not a deep water game, that would surprise me. However, this cold that’s coming ought to send everything running deep.

What area are you comfortable fishing? Where do you feel most confident?

You crazy bastards hit Lery?!? That’s a helluva move.
I’m guessing Wreck Bay was too much river water, which is too bad. It looks like y’all terminated your effort south of where I wanted to go in Grand Point Bay, low end of Baker’s, and Francis Martin Bayou. Can’t really tell.
I’m guessing Battleground Bay is swallowed in river water.
Either way, this cold front is surely going to send fish deep, so anything learned today is off the table until it warms up again.
Hopefully the river stays in the single digits.

I split this as a separate report so it’s not lost in the comments of Shooter’s report.

We kept fish today and this is the closest thing I have to a dockshot. I just assumed everybody would whack the fish. Also, it’s that time of year the pelicans are starving. We had one snatch an entire trout off the table. lol

That picture of the dirty water you have is what I caught them in on the 3rd. I think we could have caught them in that today but my buddy wanted nothing to do with it. His boat.

Man, I hate to hear this. Y’all are not gonna like my report. lol
It was tough out there (a friend invited me out last minute) but we found some fish. The water definitely warmed up, I was happy to see 54 degree water temps out there, but the fish were not in one spot I had left them on the third. My buddy was concerned stuff south of Oak was too shallow to safely navigate. I disagreed but it’s his boat. I feel myself getting sucked into a rabbit hole of detail, so I’ll post a separate report here shortly.
I just assumed y’all would whack them today. My heart’s broken it was tough for y’all. I hate that.
Thank you for taking time to post a report, though.

I know no one wants my suggestions right now, but I bet the south side of the Rock Dam is gonna be awesome. You’ll definitely be protected. If I were you I’d go straight there. I do think St. Malo is a good idea, too. You can do both. But if I had to do one I’d do the south side of the Rock Dam. Given the weather you will most likely have it all to yourself.

Okay, I see.
Well, I’m with ya. For years during the Freshening the usual milk run I’d make in Biloxi Marsh dried up. That began in about 2015. It was just a suck festival. Hardly any fish. But one place that was banging that entire time was Delacroix. I think it just has more bait and that’s where fish in Pointe a la Hache/Buras go once the river rises. I could be wrong.
Those years I’d watch Jack Payne and others post incredible dockshots (100+ trout) and I caught jack. lol I’m still figuring it out, but this year was far more productive, finally catching that learning curve. I don’t think the bottom structure/composition of Delacroix is any different from that of Hopedale or even Biloxi Marsh, though Katrina definitely scraped the marsh away in a lot of areas. Fortunately we have older imagery to tell the tale.
The coming cold weather is going to make finding fish a lot easier. I’m sure trout are going to pile up, but they may not bite if it gets cold enough. Then it will be a redfish game.
I really want to get out there for it, but there’s so much maintenance and LAFB-work to do that I’m going to sit it out and get the fireplace and something warm to drink. lol
Just remember that inshore fishing is a journey, not a destination.
-
I think we can all agree that this last cold front moved the fish around. Maybe I’m just hard headed, but they have to be somewhere down there near the river water. If I get time I’ll look, but (if I do launch the boat anytime soon) it will be down off LA-1 somewhere.
-
LOL
Well, I appreciate that, but my big fat F is coming. Remember, I got creamed in Lake Pontchartrain on the 30th when everyone else crushed them. Tough trips are just part of the game.
With the coming cold I think it will become much easier to locate fish.
-
I’ve tried that on other days and all I got was zilch. You should try anyway, but they sure did love a sparkle beetle under a cork.
I hate it. But that’s how it worked out.
-
I’m not sure what he did, I just know he fished a cork. I’m sure it was points and fishing water that wasn’t complete garbage.
-
I’ll be shocked if it’s not a cork bite tomorrow. I had a buddy fish that area today and stroke a two man limit of trout and redfish, all under a cork.
