“I was listening to a podcast with the Carter brothers where they said they have never whooped up on trout at East bay rigs”
Was that Tuna Town Talks?

Any word on your boat?
FWIW, I’ve got one boat at Slidell Marine and another at Boat Stuf in Slidell. lol Top that!!!

Thank you, John.

For the record, I have told multiple here in this forum to go do this exact thing and that they would probably get the exact result you did. It’s like I wrote a book on this or something.
“surprisingly found some trout in the 14-16″ range still around”
Yeah, they’re lost. They could use a boat ride. lol
“It’s just something else when you see them light up on your sidescan!”
Hell yeah it is!
“the winds had shifted to more of a westerly direction”
I don’t know how strong the afternoon wind was, but the powerlines closer to the west end of the lake tend to be more protected. Getting there would’ve been rough, though.
“I can only imagine once the water temps start heating up there will be more reds in the area?”
They’re pretty much always there. When it gets so hot that you can’t stand it, they will be there. They just bite in the morning and evening. More so in the morning. I’ve caught ’em in water 91 degrees.
Excellent work on the reds. Way to execute. It’s really good sonar fishing.
Great report, thank you so much for posting it!

Did you go? Do you have a report?

It’s like having another tackle tray, slightly larger. Some images here for reference.

While I don’t agree with the Carters on conservation issues, I still have an immense amount of respect for their TOW, knowledge and wisdom as established/proven fishing guides doing it in one of the most challenging (if not the most challenging) places to fish on Louisiana’s coast, arguably the entire Gulf Coast.
Louisiana Sportsman articles they’re in are also a wealth of knowledge. Just gotta flex that Google search.
And props to Tuna Town Talks, I need to check back in and catch up on episodes. Thanks for accidentally reminding me.

And that’s on you guys. I do not want another chat/email thread to command my time, mostly because I have a lot on my plate and the last thing I need is umpteen more people DMing me every day about things that ara already on the two websites, two YT channels and forum I’ve worked on for the last 13 years. lol I do not want more things on my plate. The more time I spend on other things, I cannot get originally planned things done.
Just let me know what you guys come up with and if I can make time for it, I’ll be there. Thanks.

+1 on Signal. Way easier/better to use.

Yeah, you could use a Mini at home and abroad. In fact, that was kinda the plan: to keep the Mini as a backup to Spectrum. But I got tired of the constant outages and having to deploy/un-deploy the dang thing.
As easy as it is to setup, it would be annoying to constantly put it out, take it in, etc. When I get up in the morning to check this forum, write, record, etc. I just need everything to work.

Man, I like doing them, but if those things got more views and paid for themselves I’d be happy to do them more. Otherwise I’m doing a lot of free work for free. That gets old quick. I have no designs on being a public fishing jester. lol

If you guys get together I can pitch in just because I think it’s cool and understand that you gotta make a move. Build it and they will come. For example, I’ve been trying to get my military buddies together before we’re all dead and managing their schedules has been like herding cats. But, when I finally said “F it” got the hotel, bought the plane ticket, screenshot both and sent it to them then they got off their asses and showed up.
It will probably be the same thing here.
I’m not sure if I’ll make it or not. I’m slammed for the next 45 days and have two sick boats in the shop (the Tracker needs a new MAP sensor or some other kinda sensor and I just don’t have time to trouble shoot that now). It would be good if I could, because I use some fresh B-roll. I have very little snapper content. Not that I’d really need that, but it would be a cool bonus.

Yeah, thanks. I was hoping to sell the book for ~$20.
But that didn’t happen because that’s Amazon setting the price that high because there’s tons of pictures in it and those are expensive to print. I’ve considered re-writing the book as text only to get the cost down, but that is a sh*tload of work, as you can imagine.
With that said, what it cost me to learn all of that, put into a proven process and format it as a book far exceeds the amount of work most authors put into theirs, or learning it all the hard way.
I must really love it, because there’s a dozen other things I can do for more $$$ that are way less of a hassle.

Fish shadows and dried water stains.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
In all fairness I would have looked right at that corner on GED and been like “yeah, I’m idling that”. I would idle and graph the entire frikkin thing on my first time out there (and I did).
With that said, out of the quarter million licensed inshore anglers in Louisiana, there are only enough to count on one hand that post actual Venice reports here. Please grant him life. lol
