Welcome to the forum! You’re in the right place, and we’re all just waiting on the water temp to fall. Then things will really kick off.
Thanks for posting an intro!
-
Have you looked at the wind forecast? It’s looking a lot better! And I was mistaken: there is no cold front to drop water temps. I think you have a good stab at redfish, and I’d look for them anywhere from Grand Lake down Bay Law.

Yeah, it looks like you did the same thing I did and just had to go. And it looks like the same result. Predictable with the crap water temperature.
Last year I shot a video on November 8th fishing the Biloxi Marsh, and I caught 18 trout, but worked for them all day.
In years past if I only caught 18 trout in otherwise decent conditions in November I would have gone home ashamed. lol
What we have going for us now over last year is that the river is lower and it looks like she is gonna stay down.
I did have a good day at Seabrook with warmer water temps last year, during October IIRC, where I caught 15 by myself and left them biting. But there were a lot of boats there. That bite didn’t go unpressured at all.
If/when conditions allow, I’d look for trout on the outside. I’d fish that reef by Half Moon Island in Mississippi Sound, as well as that rig outside L&N, maybe even L&N itself.
I’d definitely try Breton Island, the break in the Long Rocks, the rigs between both those spots. Or maybe just wait for it to cool off. lol
Either way, I feel your grind, it does not go unappreciated. Thank you for posting a report!

Man, what a gorgeous fish. I sure do love Florida. So much diversity in fishing down there.
Great report, thanks for posting!

oh my gawd lolololololol

Hey Walter, it’s great to have you here! As you can see, there’s a wealth of information here and many talented anglers.
LAFB Elite will give back what you put into it, especially this community. Leveraging planning posts is key, it can help you figure out info you need the easy way, rather than the hard way.
The best thing you can do first is knock out Inshore Fishing 101 so you’re speaking the same language as the rest of us, then make those planning posts. The fishing is about to get really good, just as soon as it cools off.
Thanks for posting an intro!

The locations you mentioned are great, but don’t forget that big pond off Chef Pass, and the grass on the shoreline between Hwy 11 and Trestles on the south shore.

Great job on those redfish! Since you did good there, maybe combat launching off the side of Delacroix Highway to fish the water around Lake Lery could be good.
“I saw a sunken boat at the dock”
That is standard Louisiana. Everything is derelict and falling into the ocean. Nothing is tidy. Ever.
Otherwise, great report, thanks for posting!
-
“By 8am, that was the last bird activity we saw the whole day, and the only shrimp we saw the whole day.”
That also alarms me: just not that many reports of shrimp running. It is warm, however. After this upcoming front, maybe that will change.
“The guides back at the ramp all targeted redfish. The scuttlebutt from the boat ramp and fish cleaning table was that trout fishing just hasn’t been good.”
That’s exactly what I’ve been hearing from everyone else.
Either way, great report and thanks for posting!!
-
Wow, that says it all right there.
-
I don’t recall off the top of my head, but it gave us just enough time to get to our A spot, catch a few reds and get back. IIRC, we actually staged gas somewhere along the way and I refueled the boat as we ran back. Or maybe that was another time.
One event out of Grand Isle we ran to north side of PAC. It was pretty normal to make long runs to the good stuff.
-
lol I guess just screw the Army and Air Force. lol
Man, Venice sure is purdy. Thanks for uploading the pictures. I am living vicariously through you guys now.
The Southpark pic is spot on lol
-
One time I fished a redfish tournament off the East Pearl boat ramp and we ran all the way to Pointe a la Hache. Had to stop to refuel on the way back. Very common to make long runs.

Last year’s October absolutely pissed me off. It was so lackluster and limp-wristed. Like…no. Just don’t do that ever again and it’s doing it again this month.
I saw the strong NE wind forecast and assumed it was a cold front. A perfectly safe and reasonable assumption given the time of year: we should have had a couple by now.
But no. It’s just a stupid low. And another low pointed right at us.
What
The
F&$%!!!!
