Also, great work not getting discouraged and thank you for posting a report for your day one. Some days the trout make you a hero, other days they leave you in the gutter. lol
Great execution on Hwy 11 today.

It blows my mind how folks just won’t fish Hwy 11.
Man, what a day of fishing. Well, I’ve missed all that this season and it looks like today was the last day to really get at ’em out there in the lake. Tomorrow it’s gonna blow it’s butt off and then that front is coming, and if that drops water temps down into the 50s then that’s a wrap for the bridges.
By the way, what water temp did you see on your transducer out there? I’m curious.
It’s good to hear that the bridges delivered. Last year (2023) was so lackluster and disappointing. I’m not surprised at all that the MRGO/Wall was a bust. That place has been getting raked over so much. With that said, it will probably turn on even more with this cold front coming through.
Great report and thank you for posting!

Oh, and largest trout was 19″, nothing over 20, though yesterday I caught one over 20.
-
It’s eerie because you picked out a lot of the same stuff I did. lol
Since you’re coming from Sweetwater you may want to start at Point 18.
Either way, I’ll be shocked if you don’t crush the fish today.

You are on the right track with that list!! Excellent job!! Flat 3 will prob be too dirty, Flat 5 will prob have boats on it. Otherwise, you’re on the money. Now get out there and run em!!
-
Sounds good to me, just make sure your shallow water anchor is good to go and be ready to put that wind to your back. Pick lots of shoreline in the lee of the land.

I’m glad you posted this, because I was about to shut down the PC and go do tackle then head to bed. LOL
Okay, lemme take a look.
“take some family out tomorrow instead of trying to fill a freezer”
What does that mean? You’re trying to put them on fish? That’s the idea, right?
“towards Bay Jack Nevette and Pointe Fienne”
You should do that again first thing in the morning. If anyone ever asks why you went do not say “bEcaUse dEviN sAiD”. You figured it out yourself.
“90% sure I saw @Devin Roll through Jack Nevette around 10:45 AM lol.”
That’s a confirmed Devin Sighting. lol I wanted to check top end of Fienne, no luck, then drift Pontons, no luck there. Then I wanted to graph where Jack empties into Oak. I would check that when the water temps drop. Lots of bait in there.
“but the water was 60F”
Nailed it. Let’s call it the “not yet winter and mostly ran out of shrimp” pattern. They’re just not deep. I tried in Biloxi Marsh and tried today. At least all the ones I caught today and on the 30th were shallow.
“I am tempted to fish Myrtle Grove/EBM”
Biloxi Marsh is Throwback City. Check my report here: https://www.lafbelite.com/forums/discussion/12-30-24-biloxi-marsh-specks/ Are you trying to catch fish or find clear water? Because today they were in dirtier water south of Oak.
I could be wrong, but I think they’re piled up against the river water and that’s just where bait tends to be. Maybe it’s one, maybe it’s both. I dunno. I just know we caught fish there easy on corks. Probably good to do with your family.
Seeing that the wind is laying down, casting corks will be easy and so will seeing tidelines.
As for Myrtle Grove, I have no idea what’s going on down there. If you’re more confident with that, then do that.
“I would rather explore a new area I think”
Do that. The lake could be done after this arctic blast plows through. Where are your next fish? Well today they were near dirty water and sometimes in it.
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: Be super careful running around by First, Second, Third Bays, Wreck Bay, etc. as a lot of that area has silted in hard. FAFO with your SeaTow membership if you don’t double check routes on GED.
Final note: I will be filming out there tomorrow. Please don’t yell at me as it makes editing horrible. Just please toot your horn and wave. Or stay in Incognito Mode. I could be struggling and may need the space to make it happen. Or maybe I’ll crush them and wave you over. lol

Proctor Point Marsh
Sure, it can be good.
-
You could, but I don’t think it’s practical. Just sounds like more to untangle and put up with. Fishing a single hook is the way to go.
-
Thanks for posting an intro and welcome to the Community. The fishing is good now. I actually just posted a Biloxi Marsh report. Be sure to check it out. Also, a Jubilee could be around the corner!
-
Yeah, tornados drop out of those storms, too. Scares the hell out of me. I’ll take the weather we have had lol Been nice and predictable.
-
The above link to LAFB Elite. The YouTube video was pulled but I yoinked it before it was deleted.
-
That could work. I’ll be shocked if a cork doesn’t do the trick for the day.
-
I use braid that light for a normal drop shot. A Heavy Drop Shot you are looking at using “conventional” 20-40lb braided fishing line. Much easier to tie.
-
Indeed! Though I don’t think it will be cold enough to really kick things off. And man, based off reports I’ve been getting out of Delacroix/Hopedale, leaving those redfish alone rather than whacking the daylights out of them when they’re at their weakest is a good idea. But people gotta have their fish sammich. lol
I would consider launching the boat and hitting them in the marsh.
