I don’t have experience with any one trailer place. I always just did it myself. I’m sorry I don’t have a good suggestion for you. What’s wrong with your trailer? What needs working?

That is a great question. lol That’s the last LAFB Elite hat I’ve got. The other one flew out the boat and was never found, and those two were all I ever had. I did sell them for some time from a print-on-demand service, but eventually shut it down because no one ever bought them. I may have some actual LAFB hats with the round logo sitting around somewhere. Let me find them and I’ll post pics here.

Hey Rick, thanks for posting. Yeah, it’ll probably be the other way around: if the trout are tough you’ll be fishing reds. The river will probably be down to 3.5ft by then and ought to clean up, so who knows what great fishing there will be there.
Myself and a couple others IIRC have posted reports in the last month or so.
Aside from that, do you have a plan?

Lafitte is the promised land and @WestbankJosh leads the way!
Great report, thanks for posting!

Wanted to follow up on this:
So far I’ve been pretty spot on about the longer unedited format. I’ve tried it for myself and people really do just want to watch the video as if they are the ones fishing. I can’t help but talk about certain things during the fishing trip because that’s what I do, it’s a personal brand. But silently doing these trips would be dynamite.
For the record, I’ve published two of these “long” videos now and, without going down a rabbit hole, I can tell you that they are either keeping up with the edited videos or demolishing them in analytics. It’s only two videos, but I’ve been doing this for awhile now and I think that’s the way to go.

I have no idea how the newer GoPros fare versus the Osmo. If you have to ask then I’m assuming there’s a lot of camera work you don’t know and that what would be best for you would be just to get what’s cheapest to save your $$$. Then film with it as much as you can. Just do stuff around the backyard or something and play with all the settings and learn it inside out before taking it on the water.
Filming is a lot of fun and I’m sure either brand would be a good choice.

“The water clarity didn’t seem to matter. They were eating.”
That’s what I saw in Delacroix today and yesterday.
“Our wives were already not thrilled we went fishing today”
The wind is laying down and there’s a 1ft tide, what do they expect?!
“Another thing to note, with the water temp hovering around 60 degrees, I thought sure the trout would be stacked up deep somewhere. But every trout we caught was in 2-4 ft of water with deep water nearby. Maybe they got up on the flats to warm up.”
Yeah, and not just 60 degrees, but 60 after a hard drop. Again, same thing in Delacroix. It’s just wild how they weren’t acting like a cold front just plowed through.
Anyway, I definitely want to film west of the river, and had designs on Venice to do that, but now that the river is up, I am thinking that’s no longer a go. I’m looking hard at MG because it’s closer than running all the way from Lafitte. Of course, I’d like to get to Dularge! That’s gotta be turning on as well.
Either way, great report, thanks for posting it!

Yeah, I’m gonna go check my engine oil now! You can’t be too safe. Good call.
After that, it sounds like you had a stellar day. I saw that there were a bunch of boats over that way, so it’s good to have a report from there. Thank you for posting it!
I haven’t fished The Wall and rocks in forever, I may give that a whack tomorrow. I just wish the tide were better.
Again, thank you for posting a report, and be sure to enjoy those fish!
-
What an awesome fishing report. Good stuff. All I can say is that you did great with the conditions. Are you going to fish the neap tide that’s coming up? It has me debating staying home or trying anyway.

If you’re using spot lock in shallow water then you are most likely spooking off fish. I’d really only use spotlock in deeper water. The deeper the better. I wouldn’t dream of using spot lock in shallower redfish ponds.
-
I would expect to find them in deep holes given the steep water temp drop. Something like 73 to 65. That’s a drop that’s gonna send them running deep. By Sunday they could be out of their hidey holes ready to eat shallow. Birds will be a dead giveaway. I doubt that the bulk of white shrimp has left the marsh with all the warm weather.
Otherwise, those spots look great. Go tear it up.
-
The conditions change where you fish. I’d just be fishing deeper holes after a strong front.
-
I’d really prefer to see a falling tide, but I would go anyway if given the opportunity.

You are the man! Thank you so much!
