MemberOctober 28, 2024 at 12:16 pm in reply to: Magical Evening at Alligator Point 10-27Nice man, always good to get the family out on the water and a challenge to put fish on the boat with all that commotion onboard. We took our 2 year old out last Wednesday, he was actually able to catch fish on his own with the help of mom casting it out and lifting it over the gunnel. Glad to see I wasn’t the only one out there making memories

I heard good reports , just don’t know how reliable they were. Heard 20” trout … for what that’s worth lol

Heard that. If they don’t work, not the end of the world. But when I order $100+ worth of shads and jigs, Its worth the little effort for me to try to use it if it works.
I just couldn’t find them using the search or navigating the page. Thanks Devin.

Beautiful bulls there.
Is the area still swarming with 12” trout lol… every trip out there this summer fall has been something of a let down. Hasn’t been my year out there. 3 years ago, yes it was crazy. But lately everytime I make that run I regret it afterwards lol
(Just my own personal experience , I realize some folks have been doing okay out there)

Looks good. Seems like your enjoying your new home base of Delacroix…

Obviously, tomorrow has come and gone. How’d you make out? Lake borgne has been hit or miss a lot lately. There are fish around in deeper areas. But this time of year expect small trout

Thanks for reporting. I fished down there on the 2nd the wind was howling. Looks like you made out well

“The proof in the pudding for me was last year when everyone complained of the 11.9″ throwbacks then the limit changed and it turned into 12.9″ throwbacks. Well, river water, freezes, “porpoises” and discard mortality limit don’t select for length, but we do.” – ive said the same thing. i mentioned the same to a coast guard officer on boarding they did, he looked at me like i was the spokesman for PETA lol

Yeah that is the one i thought about… lol
I try to be considerate that its a live animal, whether or not it “feels”. But i think we all do things that to someone else could be viewed as disrespectful to the fish. I have a whole list of things that i thought seemed disrespectful to the fish (at first) : throwing multiple fish on the deck and leaving them while casting back out. Ripping the hooks out the mouth instead of “unhooking”. Holding fish by their gills(especially if releasing) . But now, i get it. I’ve done all these things, especially on a hot bite.
The hats and costumes seem a bit peculiar to me, but whatever floats their boat…
