I have no idea. I haven’t been that way since 2019. I hope it all went well and you the boat checked out okay.

” but here I am atoning.”
lol thank you
“Finished the day getting boarded by the Coast Guard (passed with flying colors) and with an empty ice chest. I took this as my sign that the summer pattern was coming to a close.”
Sound like my Breton Sound trip. lol
“So today was Plan Redfish.”
Good job not doing the same thing to get the same result.
“Water temp was a nice 85 degrees.”
That’s a good water temp. Way better than 90 lol
“It was hot, but it seems sooo much better than last year.”
Yeah it is!
Man, you did great. Excellent report, thank you for posting!

Yeah, the best use of this forum is to give us an idea as to what you want to do using the planning taught inside 101. What are the conditions, what are you targeting, etc? I’m glad you’re here, but nobody is going to do that homework for you.
I hope you made out alright.

What do you mean by “RAC”? I’m confused, and do not know of an area reachable from Sweetwater that goes by that acronym. Do you mean Pointe a la Hache?

I think y’all need to start fishing fall spots beginning right now.
Also, I am glad to see a good fishing report! I have heard that the redfish have been good in Delacroix, they’re just not sightfishable, or are more easily caught under a cork or blind casting.
Great report, thanks for posting!

That Avid is a nice boat and perfect for the fall fishing that’s right around the corner. Thank you for introducing yourself!

Hey David, I’m glad you’re here! Yeah, the MS Coast is awesome. Tons to do there and all you have to do is go for a walk on the beach. I heard folks have been gigging some flounder pretty well.
Thank you for posting an intro!

All I can say is “welcome to being informed about coastal restoration”.
It’s a fourth job on top of your actual job, then being a dad, being a husband, and whatever else comes before knowing the umpteen-million things going on with coastal restoration that are totally out of control.
Good job, but maybe remaining ignorant is better for your mental health.
St. Bernard Parish did something similar in 2012 when George Ricks took it upon himself to read the Master Plan and proceeded to empty his bowels into his pants repeatedly as he learned about the mid-Breton sediment diversion that had been on the books for a long time.
I’m not saying I agree with it, I am saying that a lot is being done that people don’t know about and, as a result, have not given their input.
This isn’t some intangible “politician” lining his pockets, its people not paying attention because they have 1,973,462 other things going on.
I can’t wait for them to install locks in Chef and Rigolets Passes and completely ruin the migration routes of shrimp, crab, tarpon, speckled trout, redfish and more.
If you thought Lake Pontchartrain’s fishing sucked, wait until they cut it off, all so we can save infrastructure that should have never been built to begin with.

Well, we get out towards the mouth and there is a massive dredge boat working in the middle of the pass. Then the only storm cell along the entire gulf coast opened up on us.
There is truly not a thing you could have done about that other than have a local provide that intel. Even then, I’m not sure, because you can’t see it on Sentinel EO, though you can see the dredge and spoil on 8/19.
So, great. That entire fishing spot is trash now. lol Just….geez.
A family of 7 checked into the room next to us and brought what sounded like a mariachi band. They didn’t shut it down until 2 in the morning.
Ahhhh….”camp culture”. People staying up late and drinking and partying as if it’s more important than the fishing. I always disliked that. Just go to bed and go fishing. Go to Bourbon Street for staying up late and drinking.
Water temp was 91 degrees in 4 feet of water off the beach
That’s ridiculously hot for fish and people.
I think we would have had much better luck if we had gone out to the rigs and fished a heavy drop shot of 1/2 oz jig in 20 ft of water.
I agree. That and the sunk Timbalier Rocks. That deeper water away from land is gonna be cooler. I know when I went on my recent Breton Sound trip that the water in the marsh was 90+ but in the Sound it stayed in the high 80s.
Looking forward to the fall boys.
You and me both.
I’m just making content and resisting the temptation to go lookin’ for ’em.
Great report, thanks for posting it!

Man, what a difference.
The old pads looked like they were pulled off the bottom of Lake Borgne. LOL Like…wow.
Trailers are so overlooked. I’m glad you got yours squared away and, to be honest, you probably saved yourself a buttload of work and money by just doing it yourself.
Some people working at boat shops are room-temperature IQ with the pride of their work to match. I hate it’s that way, but good work is hard to find on the first try.
Plus, when you do it yourself, you know exactly where everything is.
Thanks for coming back and letting us know how it went.

The game plan for this trip was to fish island points in the East Biloxi Marsh for speckled trout, then carry on eastward to try for snapper at some shallow wrecks in northeast Chandeleur Sound (keeping a heavy rod rigged for ‘targets of opportunity’ during the open water crossings), and then look for tripletail on the ride home.
That’s brilliant, love it!
I noticed four boats fishing the big Lake Borgne Block-22 platform as I passed, wondering if there were really any trout in that close
It’s possible, but if they are, then they are surely getting hammered by everyone and their mom. That rig is just so close.
I dodged rain showers for the next 45 minutes or so, steering for the clear skies at the edge of the storm, and eventually make it back to Deepwater Pass.
Wow, that’s a legit adventure right there. Straight up! You don’t see that at the bowling alley!
For that alone I love those long treks into the middle of nowhere. I’m probably gonna cave and just get another bay boat just for that.
Anyway, great report, thanks for posting!

Welcome to the forum and thank you for posting an intro.
I don’t know if you come down I-59 at all, but if so, then Gus’s Tackle in Slidell has a lot of the inshore tackle we use here.
I’m ready for this weather to cool off and fall to kick in.

Hey Jesse, welcome to the community!
Do you not go to Lake Decade during the winter? I’m not sure if that’s a shorter drive or not, but it looks like it on a map.
That and Vermilion Bay! Vermilion Bay is on fire right now, if you make the run out to Tiger Shoals and I guess the oyster reefs on the south side of Marsh Island.
The Cove will be good here in the next 30 days if it’s not already.
Either way, I’m glad you posted an intro.
Thank you, Jesse!

That launch is rough, but doable. I do it with a 2wd drive truck, it’s just silted in a bunch.
-
Sounds good. Just let us know.
Don’t forget to try GPS Visualizer, either.
