Welcome. I think that area can be a tough area to learn but there are a lot of opportunities around around there and a lot of places to go from there. We were just at that marina this weekend. That is one of my favorite marinas.

Thank you for the report. Good to see trout are still out there and starting to be caught. Seems like it was only reds for a spell after the freeze. Hopefully more will subscribe to the catch and release or only take what you need philosophy for a while.

[Jonathan]

How often do the flood gates close? Is this something to consider that happens periodically?

[Jonathan]

Thank you for the report.

Thats a nice table full. We fished Grand Isle a few times over the past summer but werent able to get out on the outside due to weather each and every time. That sounds like such a great trip. Hopefully this summer I can get out. Also in a 24′ bay boat.

[Jonathan]

Welcome. Thats a fairly good location to be in.

[Jonathan]

Welcome. Im right outside of Zachary in the Central/Pride area.

I need to have the bunk supports replaced on my trailer and I am dreading that for this reason. That and I am a little uneasy about having the boat fork-lifted off the trailer. I need to do it soon before it starts to warm back up though.

[Jonathan]

Thank you. I havent tried it yet but it is on the list.

I use the hose port at the base of the power head. I thought that was the preferred method…? I dont run it on that but I use that flush it after every trip. What is the difference on one vs the other?

[Jonathan]

Last outing the starting/house batteries started acting funny. They had a little age on them, so 2 new batteries. On the way home from that trip a bearing went bad and took out the axle. That turned into two new axles, hubs, springs and all the hardware.

I have had that thought as well when the trolling motor kicks up mud or starts sucking air. Power poles work great for this kind of fishing. But having only one power pole puts you at the mercy of the tide and wind direction, so it takes a little thought on boat position. You could try a spud pole or a cajun anchor to see if that makes a difference as far as bite ratio. That would test the theory without a whole lot of investment.

Do you have any recommendations of other places to stay? I do really like the marina and have stayed there several times, just this last weekend was the latest. Being able to wet slip the boat is very nice. Having other options is always nice, just in-case. Thank you.

[Jonathan]

100% correct.

[Jonathan]

Im glad you mentioned that. On GED it doesnt look very big for the press that it gets.
