    After seeing Marshmans and “Jar fishing’s” videos, and now your report, I can share my reports lol. Was hoping yall would keep posting videos from other places talking about how lake p estuary hasn’t had good fishing lol Can’t keep a “secret” for long anymore. (I know it’s far from a secret)

    Well dang… I was thinking I was slacking. Wish I had taken a better photo of the one on the board. It’s tough, catching them, trying to tag it, photograph it, all while its out of the water. I try to be quick with the bigger fish. I have zero desire to keep these. I think this one was 20” or over also, same day.

    Agree with that. I’m guilty of not always sharing every fishing trip report, but I do try to participate and acknowledge other posts. As I’m doing now. Not sharing reports is more of self/location preservation in my mind, and it’s hard to over come that.

    I’m confused by this report. Did you fish the east Biloxi marsh or the mrgo? Or is mgro a place in the EBM? Sorry if I’m misreading this

    I bought my step son a 6’ rod for Xmas last year. I’ve used it and it works fine.

    I prefer those short casting rods for jigging. I don’t think I have any casting rods over 7’.

    Beautiful fish there man. I WISH i could get on this class of fish during the summer. I need to get comfortable launching from like venice, that way i can comfortably run to breton island and such. Ive fished all the outsides of the east and middle biloxi marsh but havent made it further than that.

    Think it was on the 5th, I was catching them with what appeared to be trout tails hanging out their gullets*. Some of the smaller ones had shrimp in their mouth, I think the big ones were picking off the little fish that were feeding on shrimp.

    I know right?!? Hence why I said in my other post asking people what their largest one was this year, that I need a scale to weigh them. Some really fat fish that day. Got 2 more reports to post. Just takes me so long to do. Hopefully I can do post them today

    Yeah I recently did all my bearings. My stupid trailer has a one piece rotor/hub. So replacing that on 4 wheels was stupid expensive. I’ve said it before, they build these trailers like they build RV’s, just well enough to keep them together till the warranty period ends, then they fall apart.

    Yeah I try to get most of this done in February, I just hate being without my boat. I got the trim going out on my motor for the second time in 4 years. Need to bring it back before February. And my less than a year old trolling motor, is doing a weird thing where it surges power… it literally never ends.

    I know I’m not the only one dealing with boat related issues, wish more people shared their repairs so we could all learn from them. If it’s DIY maintenance/repairs, no big deal, if I gotta bring it somewhere like I do with the trim unit, or trolling motor that’s under warranty, it’s always A PITA! Dealing with boat shops sucks

    I had a feeling that area may have silted in, just based on the images that were available on GED, but also i know how good that type of canal could be( if not silted in). Hearing everyone say the same, ill avoid it. thanks

    Same. Ive been looking at what the coast guard, LDWF, and guides have. Sport trail and mcclain trailers seem like they are built well and use universal components unlike magic tilt who has proprietary parks for everything. 1 piece hubs are a negative in my book also. I should be able to replace a hub without having to replace the rotor also… Also i recently discovered some trailers use oil filled hubs instead of grease. Evidently these require less maintenance…
