Also, don’t underestimate how much the fishing pressure has absolutely hammered the trout. They left, either in an ice chest or to somewhere they are not pressured. The Trestles and Hospital Wall are community holes that every swinging Dick, Tom and Harry have absolutely raped and pillaged repeatedly for the last few weeks. Fish stuff that doesn’t stick out of the water and attracts every potlicker, fairweather fisherman, idiot-in-general, etc. I would not be surprised to learn the trout are there trying to get by.

“While getting my boat ready in the parking lot, I noticed that one of my favorite jigging rods was broken. It wasn’t broken last night when I was rigging it up, so I’m not sure when that happened. Not a good start.”
Sounds like how one of my days begin. LOL
“I would probably start in those Lakeshore Canals.”
You took the words right out of my mouth. That and Geoghegan. I’m guessing there was a lot of trout at the Trestles and not all of them went home in an ice chest, so I would look for them in protected deep holes.
Yeah, compared to how fall fishing in general is supposed to work out, this fall sure was lackluster. It was entirely way too warm, then we got a couple weeks of fall, then it fell down toward winter. It’s not legit winter water temps yet, but it’s getting there. Maybe the river will save us. She’s fallen and trying to clear up. She is clearing up, just not trout green yet.
But before driving all the way down there, I’d look hard at the ICW by Boh Bros. If you don’t know where that is, I can drop a pin. I’d even consider revisiting The Wall and the rocks there, especially after this front.
Great report, thanks for posting it!

I retract what I said about that cold front. It’s gonna be in the 70s after that. Well, fk me, will this weather make up its daggoned mind lol
We just gotta wait and see.

“To my surprise, he said “Dad, what’s the point of catching small ones? Let’s try to get the limit!” No pressure….right?”
This boy is going somewhere in life. LMAO
I’m glad to hear your kid is taking to inshore fishing so well. That’s the next generation. I’m sure he’s like a sponge, just soaking it all in. He’s lucky to have you as a dad and take him fishing.
Great report, thanks for posting!

Bumping this up because I see people logging in to enjoy the detailed reports others have gone out of their way to post.
Save that weirdo lurker behavior for Facebook. If you benefit from someone’s report, then take the minute to thank them, or consider posting a report yourself and giving back. Thank you.

“As I came back into the marina, boats were stacked up near the launch. I’m guessing the trout have finally sought refuge in the deeper water there.”
Yeah, I woulda definitely tried there first. If you have a graph, it could be good to look at it on your way out and in. You never know what might tip you off. Did you find out if anyone caught there? I would go to think people would try it just because of the cold front, but otherwise it’s a good roll of the dice.
” In about an hour I had my limit.”
That’s solid work.
“He said he used to have Sea Tow but cancelled it a few years ago.”
I would love to know why. Same guy who doesn’t join Elite ’cause he already knows it all. Either way, you were there for him, and I thank you for that. We should be good to each other on the water.
Great report, thanks for posting!

“There was a nice break in the boats around marker 175”
Gee whiz.
“The pressure out there was horrible.”
It is, but it’s also pretty normal.
“Funny because there were loons everywhere there. That’s what kept me around for so long, but it was a bust.”
I love seeing them! I don’t blame you.
“Thinking about it now, that drop off next to the hospital wall would have been a good spot to throw a few casts.”
100%. I know a bunch of boats were piled up there the other day, so maybe the fishing there has come and gone. I have no idea. It is a popular spot, but definitely matched the conditions you were fishing.
“-it was enough cold days in a row to drop the water where the fish acted like winter time”
That makes sense. Great report, thank you for posting!

Man, I wish I saw this sooner.
Well, I think Delacroix is your best shot and hopefully you’re there.
In the future, try to give us more time. Also provide anything else you think you’ll need help with, like routes through the marsh.

I think if you stuck with fishing Oak River and the bays around it you will be good. Specifically, Bay Jack Nevette, Pointe Fienne, Baker’s Bay and Pontons Bay.
-
It’s River aux Chenes on GED. Oak River is just the Anglicized version of that French name. It’s the big main bayou that runs west to east from Spanish Lake to Oak River Bay and ultimately to Black Bay.
-
Man, that’s kinda cold and doesn’t match what others are reporting or what the buoys are reporting. Thanks for letting us know about your report, though.
-
Dude, +1 to Gus’s. That is why we have local tackle stores. They’re here, they’re with you, they get it, they fish, too. They’re here for you. I love the Internet and what I do would not be possible without it, but I hate what it’s done to retail. Thank you for shopping at Gus’s. I’m actually going to be seeing him in a little bit. Good stuff.
-
Great find. Yeah, it looks like he’s drifting Decade, which is a common technique/hole. But if the trout are that far inside then where else are they?
Thanks for sharing.
-
Yeah, it’s enough to make me not want to bother.
-
Those reports will be great when you can, but just hearing that the fishing is good is all I need to hear. Thank you so much!
