What a sickening site.

No sir. It’s just my wife and me in the boat. What’s the saying, Twos company… especially when casting baits!

Will do. Thanks again!

Thank you Boyce, I appreciate the feedback. The BassCat was an awesome boat and very fast, scary fast at times. I’m definitely thinking of biting the bullet and go with dual power poles I don’t think the difference in money is enough to warrant not getting them. Thanks again and hopefully I’ll see you on the water one day!

Hey Boyce,
Great response. I was really leaning towards the bass boat platform just for the points you made but I wanted to hear from someone who has fished both. I had a bass cat fiberglass but it wasn’t exactly all water “friendly” because of the way it sat so low in the rear and there was a lot of water over the back on he deck when the waves kicked up. As far as boats go both platforms are excellent choices. The next thing I’m considering is whether or not to put power poles on the boat? I have one on my CC now but I never use it with spot lock on the TM, so is it worth the additional $3200.00? Do you have power poles on you 178?

Ok, thank you. May be because the water is still cold, idk. Thanks again this helps me decide where and what to fish for Friday.

Sounds like a great day of fishing! Looks like from this report it was all reds. Were any trout being caught that you heard of? I’m curious as to how the weather affected this area vs the shallow marsh areas. Thanks for the report!

Welcome! I’m sure you’ll get a lot out of the courses and forum discussions. I have.

What a shame. We haven’t seen anything yet.

If anyone’s interested there’s a guy in BTR that’ll get you out pretty quick and he’s reasonable. He works on all engines but primarily he’s a Mercury guy. His name is David Wade and his business name is David Wade’s Marine 225-752-3789. Great guy and extremely knowledgeable.

Yeah. I fished there Saturday and the water was extremely low; however we managed to keep ten nice trout but no reds. That’s a shallow area you have to be very careful. Good job and great report!
-
Thank you Devin. I hav no idea of its history since I’ve never fished in this area but it looks like a promising area to try.

I don’t know if you guys saw this little article I ran across: https://lailluminator.com/briefs/wildlife-officials-warn-freezing-conditions-could-kill-fish-across-louisiana/

Well the worse possible scenario is here, the only places trout survived are in the deeper areas. This is going to take management to get the already decimated population back up again and hopefully we don’t have any more weather that will further destroy the population since we still have February and March to go through. Hopefully LDWF will have the insight to put some restrictions on trout temporarily to help the population rebound. I personally will not be taking any more trout this year in the inside waters, all catch and release. One silver lining, maybe, It doesn’t look like the red fish population was hit as hard but were only seeing trout pictures so far. Now the NO flotilla will be ganged up in droves in the deeper areas LP, ICW, Rigolets areas. They’re going to have to install stop signs and traffic lights with all of the boats that will probably concentrate in smaller areas. lol!

I agree. We’re going to need all the swimming trout we have left if this goes the way it’s looking. This may be the time to catch a couple reds if you want fish to eat and release the rest. This is going to be tough times on the populations.
