Hopefully it will be better than the one at California Point. lol
Oh, I just glossed over the article and it looks like they are further out for red snapper. Well, darn. Those pyramids are cool, though! It’d be great to see those in Chef Pass.
Thanks for sharing.

I’ll keep this in mind. Right now there’s a lot on my plate and when I make room I’ll consider this. For now, if you’ve got something to BST, then just post it in the general discussion forum. Thank you.

You didn’t throw an 1/8oz against the rocks at all?
19 trout ain’t bad considering how hard that area’s been getting hit.
Great report, thank you for posting it!

Somewhere down there is a Nautic Star doing mean things to fish. lol
YCB is d-d-d-dark. The trout are gonna go in there next. I’m calling it now.

I’m editing my trip to Dularge right now and keep checking Geosphere. River looks “good” from 20,000 miles away. lol So I hope you’re on ’em doing good work. The wind at Pilottown looks goooood. You lucky SOB!!!
Next time, pretty please with a cherry on top lol, try to post before the biggest holiday of the year. I was sitting down yesterday thinking, “No one’s gonna post in the Community on Christmas Day” lol. Well now I know better. I now live in paranoia and will check as often as I can LOL Thanks, Daniel.

“what is this” is called Second Spillway
When you fish Baptiste Collette, push up to that canal that runs to the NW and fish the platform there.
You’re not fishing rocks so much as you’re fishing ledges. When you are in The Jump you are fishing in 27ft of water, more or less.
Rocks 8 could be good.
The rocks across from Rocks 4 are good.
The rocks immediately downstream of First Spillway (which is upstream of your “what is this”) are good.
To be clear, the two canals north and the two canals south of the West Bay Diversion are laden with rocks. You will wreck if you try to run them. Do not go in them. Approach them carefully if you’re going to fish them at all. I wouldn’t bother, I’ve fished them the last couple years and never really had much to show it for aside from a bass and a rat red.
Hopefully you’re doing good things out there. Again, I wish I saw this sooner.

Just do it! That fog is good. Trout bite better in it, I swear.
I wish I woulda seen this post before this morning, but there really isn’t anything I could say beyond what I’ve already posted in my reports.
Hopefully you whack ’em.

Yeah, more on that here: https://www.lafishblog.com/go-to-this-spot-in-venice-if-you-hate-your-lower-unit/

Wow. That’s some customer service. That makes me want to consider Avid for the “next boat”. I really like the Xpress X21, but Avid may be where it’s at if they’re that cool about it. Thanks for the update.

Hopefully you get it back soon. Any word on a timeline?
-
Well, hopefully you’re down there right now, but there’s pretty much unlimited rocks to jig in the Mississippi. Lots of great fish to be had in there.

DO IT!! DO IT NOW!!!!

Okay, that works just fine. A Danforth could work well for you, and you should probably have one in the boat anyway.
The west side of the Trestles has the most junk/snags. That’s where the junk and wooden pilings landed when they put in the concrete pilings in the 90s.
-
Likewise. Good times.

I did not go all the way to the rocks. I have no idea what flat you’re talking about.
Look at BC on Navionics and you’ll see a ledge in about 20ft of water on the northwest side. It is by that canal that runs to the northwest and the ledge runs all the way to the dredge pipe they have staged there. This is closer to the river than it is to the rocks at the end of BC. There may be birds spread across an area to give it away. We did fish the birds and we caught fish, but it was not like fishing birds diving on shrimp. I think they were just eating dead bait that floated to the surface. I never got a good look.
You can fish it with a half ounce jig, but an HDS worked better. Even if you don’t see bait balls, they are probably there glued to the bottom. You will need to cast to be sure.
