“water temp was averaging 72F”
Wow! I called BS when I read this but then checked NOAA stations and YEP it sure is! Just…wow. That is super warm for February. I’d look real hard at fishing rocks in the MRGO south of the Rock Dam and even the Long Rocks themselves.
Very good to hear the positive reports from folks. That has me optimistic.
Great report, thank you for posting.

As a final note to my previous post, a wood jig could work better. Those are jigheads with the eye oriented flat, or 90 degrees to that of a grass jig (which is what most jigheads are). The idea comes from bass fishing, where “grass” jigs pull through hydrilla (or whatever grass) better, and “wood” jigs pull over branches of wood, dock cross members, etc. better. It really does work.
It’s just that no one makes jigheads like that cheap, so I never experimented with it on the Trestles. I just keep feeding the Lead Monster down there. lol

Here’s some intredasting intel from a comment on the LAFB YT channel (on “The Jump” video):

“Yes u coulda caught em up and down that side but the area you were in tends to produce more, u also had the right color, we catching em on lime green now but gotta go further south towards Main Pass to Pass a Loutre. Catching 18-20’s 2 weeks ago further south.” -
“turned their Delacroix spots into community holes”
That’s fascinating. I wonder which spots they’re talking about because I haven’t filmed anywhere in Delacroix that wasn’t already well known or is geo-locatable.
If they can really catch fish then they won’t have to rely on community holes. Only a handful of guides are legit. Like you mentioned, most rely on community holes.
Haters are gonna hate.
With that said, I appreciate you sharing LAFB’s content on social media. Thank you. But if it causes you extra BS, then let some other hapless soul do it. lol I appreciate you going to bat, but not one of you ever has to argue on my behalf.

“records trips in Florida and then claims they were from Louisiana”
That’s a lot more work than just finding them in Louisiana. lol I don’t know what to say about that.
“saw Devin fishing and he caught 10 fish but claimed he caught 120 fish , and didn’t keep any so he’s a liar”
They can show the evidence if they like. I have bad trips and post those, too. Those trips just don’t get any views, or I’m not recording and they end up as reports here and, in the past, ended up as reports on Facebook, such as LAFB Inshore. Speaking of which, I have a report from Sunday to post.
I’ve always had haters and people who just make stuff up. Lots of Internet Tough Guys, but they’ve never taken time to say anything to me in person. It is what it is. Those are the vocal few who cannot stand to see someone take a stance for the fish. They’ll complain about their “freedom being taken away” but willingly participate in surveillance capitalism, think Snowden was a traitor and were nowhere to be found when FISA or Patriot Act were passed into law. They’re misled, misinformed and maybe one day they’ll see the error in their ways.

“Yes it’s cca funded I believe, but what’s our other option?”
Don’t let that cloud the tagging program. You’re doing a great thing, just keep doing it.
-
I’ve already flogged myself 35 times as penance for committing the great sin of following guides instead of just learning how to fish.
-
If only he knew the number of guides and tournament anglers who ask where I’m fishing. lol
Hater’s gonna hate.
-
Thank you! I’ve certainly noticed an amount of people taking that path. That’s a lot more than what there used to be, but there’s still work to do.
-
Yeah man. If I had the Tracker and the wind wasn’t so dumb I might go take a looky look. I have a feeling that spring is gonna be early this year.
-
Well you kicked ass! You need to visit family more often. LOL Great report, thank you for posting!
-
That deep hole is worth stopping for. It sure would be better if the water were low. It could be low with that NE wind since you’re technically west of the river. Definitely don’t ignore that spot.
-
I think you’re good. This is the ultimate route to stay protected from the wind.
-
To build on this: those ponds will probably stay clean with all the high shifting wind, and there will be roseau to hide behind.
The north shoreline of YCB can be good to fish, even with all that south wind blowing on it in the days prior, and the levee there could protect you very well from the predicted north wind.
-
I would have a drift sock ready, or at least some kind of shallow anchor to stick and pick. It seems to me fish are gonna move shallow with this warmer weather.
But man, given the forecast for Friday, I’d look hard at soaking dead shrimp/gulp under a cork in the ponds inside the Wagon Wheel. There are pipelines galore in there. Be super careful. Some you can see on GED.
