Sounds like a solid box.
Was there any size to the croakers?
Great report, thanks for posting!

Coco is a great place to fish. Lots to do over there.
It’s great to have you here, Jim. Thank you for posting an intro!
The summer has been pretty good, but we are all looking forward to fall.
Lake Boudreaux trout are something I always wanted to figure out. I imagine it sets up like Decade, lots of drifting and corking.

Hey David, thanks for posting an intro. It’s great to have you here.
If I were you, I’d get started with Inshore Fishing 101 to learn the process to finding fish from scratch.
Now I understand you said you are in a kayak. Well, I’ve got news for you, that does not exclude you from exploring the marsh and catching fish. Not at all. What it changes is how you do those things.
With a kayak you have the option to combat launch in places boats can’t. I’m sure you’re physically fit enough to do so. If not, that’s a worthy goal.
It also has a small signature and low profile. You can get into awesome redfish ponds the rest of us can’t. Not to mention the reduced expense of going fishing.
There are other kayakers in here as well. I’d go out of my way to add them to your angler network. The effort will be worth it.
Hopedale and Grand Isle are both great locations, but I’d also consider combat launching off LA-23 near Venice, LA-1 in Golden Meadow and even off LA-300 out of Reggio/Delacroix. Same for the south shore of Lake Pontchartrain for jacks.
Last, but not least, the very best thing you can do is utilize this forum to plan your fishing trips. The more information you give, the more we can give back. There’s a slew of excellent planning posts in here to serve as an example to that end. We can really help you learn what you didn’t know you did not know before casting that first line.

Nobody in Louisiana has checked the river and Geosphere as often as I have, which is several times a day. Literal mind games over here

Well, I don’t have an iPhone 16 and don’t see myself going back to Apple. So I really don’t know what its features are and how they really work.
But I’ll say that the inReach battery will last much longer, the thing is pretty much bomb proof, it can get wet, won’t overheat, and I’m guessing the SOS signal from it will be taken more seriously than something from iPhone. You can leave an inReach clipped into something like your life jacket or a big float like what we use for Boga grips.
I’m sure there are false distress calls from iPhones all the time, probably not so many from inReach devices.

Man, if trout taste like filet mignon or Bucee’s brisket, it would be over. I’d be out there every day whacking a limit to the best of my abilities. lol
-
Well, the only reason I’m still here is because so many talented and thoughtful anglers pitched in. Without you guys, none of this would have been possible.

That is a brilliant idea I did not think of. Thank you so much. I will get that squared away ASAP.

I hate to sound like an uninformed dummy, but I think you can grab a gill and just pop it off. I guess if blood shoots everywhere, you did it. lol

There will probably be good jigging action in the river for redfish by then. I’d expect to pick up some hammer trout at Southwest Pass if it’s clean and green.

Yes, the white poles are marking a lane. It’s definitely big enough for a bay boat. That little lane has always been there, at least since I fished it as a kid in the 90s, and has grown wider over the years.
-
Ah yes, you asked that, my mistake.
Yes, it’s passable and I’ve taken it on plane with 22ft and 24ft bay boats. Idling is recommended, of course.
That cut on the right side has been there since the 90s, but has grown a lot more. Used to you just had to know about it, but some do-gooder put up the beloved white poles.
There’s (historically) been good fall/winter fishing back there in the past, but ever since 2015 I’ve just been waiting for it to turn on like I remember and it has not.
Maybe it’ll turn around this fall/winter.
