As for the sonar, I guess that’s your bow unit and you were spotlocked or moving really slow to get the fish to look that tall and dense. I’d say that’s a trout. I feel more confident seeing them on sidescan, especially when there’s a bunch of them. lol

“I did some graphing and found some good debris and such on the bottom, dropped the trolling motor, and started throwing a 3/8 oz jig with a paddle tail. I very quickly landed 6 keeper trout.”
I’m pretty sure I know which one you’re talking about, and I’ve been wanting to do that for years and just never got around to it. You are my hero. Those six trout are worth sixty trout given the time/skill that went into that. Much respect.
I think I have pics of the boat when it was still above water.
Anyway, keep that close hold so every retard unwilling to do the work and wanting a handout doesn’t fk it up for everyone else.

I’m with you on getting out of aluminum. They just don’t make those transoms strong enough. For the ones who do (Gator Trax), it’s cheaper/easier to get into a glass boat.
Yeah, you may not be able to confidently get into those ponds as easily, but the tradeoff is being able to access the open water stuff much better.
I’d rather have a shot at snapper than stressing out looking for redfish. I really enjoy sight fishing, but the redfish have taken such a beating, and I have beat myself up so much looking for them, that I’m kinda okay taking a long term break from it.
Great report, thanks for posting!

I’ve definitely seen coyotes and pigs out there. There are some otters here and there, too. Have even seen mink at the Long Rocks. Saw a deer cross Bayou Laloutre once.
I really enjoy the roseate spoonbills down in Venice, but have seen some in EBM.
Also have had water snakes crawl into the boat, always while sight fishing somewhere really fresh.
That’s about it, nothing too crazy.

There are usually a lot of crab traps lined up in parallel rows coming out of BSL. Think “where are tidal highways?” and you’ll find them, and there could be triple tail underneath them. I’ve seen TT right in front of the train tracks within sight of The Blind Tiger.
Good luck out there.

Looks good to me. Conditions look great.
You’re cleared hot.
Just don’t let homeboy dawdle for live bait too long. I’m assuming you have the Almonaster Train Bridge phone number? If not, I’m pretty sure it’s on a sign on the bridge. Call that dude immediately if the bridge is down.
That’s all I can think of.
Good luck out there!

I’ve extensively detailed this scenario we are currently experiencing in this theory/idea that I call “most water, least fish”.
This isn’t some “doom and gloom” thing, and it’s not that I don’t think we cannot recover from what’s happened but it’s that (this is important, pay attention) if you fish Louisiana’s coast long enough you will inevitably experience the ups and downs. Maybe they’re cyclical, maybe it has more to do with how our individual conservational choices affect the fish (or maybe just “definitely), but the point is that you will slug it out through the tough times and it will make the good times that much more enjoyable.

How did it go? Post a separate report if you get time. Thank you!

I would also start hitting the “outside” like American Bay and Long Bay. It is Silt City there, so be careful. Be fkn paranoid. lol
Especially once the river hits 10ft and falling that area tends to turn on moreso than others. A lot of my sight fishing videos have been filmed out that way.

You ended up in Lena Lagoon? Yeah, that’s hard times. I’m sure that lagoon gets absolutely pillaged by the bow outfits in Hopedale.
I don’t care to know exactly where you went, and maybe you shouldn’t post that, but those ponds between Lake Lery and the river are worth looking at. They are a giant PITA to get in and out of, and some parts have been blocked off by Delacroix Land Corporation.
But they could have grass, and clear water and more unpressured redfish. They could, I just don’t know, I haven’t been out there.
But that’s where I would look.

Great to have you back.
For secure messaging I recommend Signal. That way you’re sharing a username, no phone number, no email.

Great question. Yeah, what other equipment do you have?
