Well, this is an excellent opportunity to create safe routes, show them to us so we can yay or nay them, and pick out fishing spots and get feedback from us so you have a better shot at catching fish.
Just rolling out in the blind is about the worst thing you can do.
After that, your Pathfinder is a great boat and there’s no reason why you can’t make the run down Elmer’s to Timbalier, Fourchon Barges, etc.

I’m going to step out on a limb here and let some real blasphemy roll from my mouth: speckled trout and redfish are not that great of an eating fish.
Good, just not great.
If I had to go fishing to put meat on the table, then I’d rather forego the expense and just get a bunch of chicken or steak. Or both.
Or keep it cheaper running limb lines, jugs, trot lines, etc. for catfish in waters that are closer, less pressured and more protected.
But, I digress.
I have not bled trout or redfish. I do think this is a worthy endeavor. How hard can it be? Just try it out, bleed a few, don’t bleed a few, then clean and compare.
What if it made the trout fillet the same as filet mignon? Well, that would be bad news for Louisiana’s trout. LOL

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Hell yes

Man, after reading your report and others, it makes me wonder where the trout are stacked up. I bet they’re further south toward the river, or further east in the Sound, like Central Rig.
Great report, thanks for posting!

What size Tracker? That’s a great boat.
Yeah, Lacombe to Rigolets can be good, but we’ll definitely peer pressure you into trailering to different (and usually more productive) waters. Lake Decade being one, The Jump in Venice being another.
Thanks for posting an intro, and welcome to the forum!

“However the best moment of the day was when one I had hooked jumped straight into Boyce’s nuts. It was so apropos and symbolic of the tarpon strike out.”

“My dudes had seen topwater drum but had never caught them.”
The elusive topwater drum!!
Even if all you catch are throwbacks, it’s still fun to see them and catch them. It’s still good training for when you eventually see the silverback.
And that one escaped a friggin cast net is testament to how much of a PITA these fish can be lol
Sounds like y’all had a great trip. I’m sure the trout are stacked somewhere in MS Sound, just not sure where.
If I were to fish soon, based off your report I’d fish everywhere else but where you did.
The Cat Island bite sounded fun.
Great report, thanks for posting!

Well, when?
-
Yeah, 15mph wind is a lot for a body of water that big. If it was out of the north then the south side of Couba Island could have been a good choice. Also, in 101 I go over some grass mats on the north side of Salvador that could be worth looking at. I have no idea if they’re there now or not, it’s just worth looking.
Otherwise, great report, thanks for posting!

Some of these are new to me. Thank you so much for sharing. I’ll be sure to check them out when I get time.

There’s def a report or two in here to go off of.
The wind forecast could be better, but Windfinder says the wave height will be 0.7, which means the beaches are super doable.
I’d def have a safe route going north of the Island through to Fourchon and the bays west of there.
Fourchon Barges, Elmer’s Isle, the rock piles at Grand Isle itself, the sunk rocks at Timbalier Island, and Belle Pass are places I’d strongly consider. Flocks of birds in Barataria and at Independence Reef could be doable, too.

Well, there’s not many shorelines in Breton Sound proper. So either they were more towards Black Bay, American, California, etc. or they were fishing islands like Breton, what’s left of Gosier, etc.

Yeah, it looks like it has been coming up in the last 30 days, but 5ppm is basically fresh. I think you meant parts per thousand.
What I would do is find fishing reports from since the 2021 or whenever it was the rivers started acting right and compare those against salinity measurements at their time. There could be some correlation showing when to fish certain places. Of course, when the trout are done spawning, they’ll push to pretty much anywhere there’s food.
I’m thinking V-Bay is going to have a stellar fall.
