Same thing here, it was pretty miserable then the intermittent rain made it even worse. I’m not even sure if the MRGO would’ve been any better with the water as cold as it was Sunday. Maybe? I fished the deep holes and graphed bait and fish but they had lockjaw not even a bite and I was on them. Maybe the water will warm up some this week??

Sure. I hope this report helps you in the future and thank you for letting me know the name of this place. I’m new to this area and trying to learn all I can.
Thanks Again!

I’m not sure where you located but I would also look at some local welding shops. They may be able to weld you some aluminum steps just what you are looking for. Bring them a picture.

Another issue you’re going to have is if your Garmin’s memory is full or close to it you won’t be able to add tracks that you create in GED plus the unit will truncate long names and tracks. Additionally, when creating routes in GED keep them super simple as in point by point vs dragging the line creating hundreds of points. The best site I found to convert gpx files is this one: https://kml2gpx.com/. Need any help let me know.

Thank you! We’ll see how it goes!

Thank you so much! Hopefully we’ll have a “productive” fishing report come next week!

Thank you! I do see the walls and I’m glad @olw3rd showed me the best route. Are there any markers in Gentilly bayou or is it GPS track all the way? You mention Oak River but I don’t know where Oak River or orange bayou are located? I would prefer to not cross the lake if at all possible. Thanks guys I really appreciate the feedback this is my first adventure in the area and I know the water is going to be low.

Thank you! I wasn’t to sure how to get out of the marina to here I want to start out. Great help!

Exactly Devin. There is a different culture and pride in Japan. This 200GTB reel was bought ~2003 cost ~$225.00 and have caught literally hundreds of fish from bass to redfish and not to mention been on the bottom of as many boats and it’s still a beautiful reel with a few battle scars. I don’t believe any of my new reels will hold up like this. I was told the other day that the Calcutta in the smaller 100-200 sizes have been obsoleted, what a shame but the mass production cost vs craftsmanship won.

Shimano definitely stands the test of time. I began buying the Calcutta in the 90’s and have five different models including the 200GB. When I started being able to buy my own reels low profile baitcasters were for the bass guys not trout guys. Now with more knowledge they both have their place inshore. As far as experimenting with a $400.00 dollar reel I’ll probably not. The standard has been invented and honed by Shimano, Daiwa, etc. no sense wasting money. Buy what’s proven and time tested and learn to fish. That’s why this forum is great no bs just experience and proven ways to accomplish what we all love, inshore fishing.
Have fun learning!

Great information. I need to revisit GED in 101 I’m still not interpreting as well as I should what I’m seeing on present and past images. I’m having trouble discerning silted in areas compared to stained water.
-
Good information. I’ll take a look.
Thanks!

Thanks Jon!

Awesome pictures and trip Josh! Keep the boy fishing. Fishing trips in Lake Borgne are the best memories I have of being with my dad. He’ll never forget them, I promise.

Amen brother!
