But theres gotta be more big fish being caught… i suck at fishing and ive gotten a few 20″+ fish this year

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)

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 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.

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.

MemberDecember 13, 2024 at 8:52 am in reply to: 12-03-2024 MRGO “most wonderful time of the year”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

Ah okay. Sounds like a summer trip for me, burning that gas lol. Always an adventure out there

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
