From top to bottom
4 horse cork
Palomar knot
12-15″ of 20lb mono
Split shot weight
12-15″ of 20 lb mono
Palomar
Vudu / Marker 54 shrimp
The weight in the middle of the line is a carryover from my days using live bait as it helps keep the shrimp in the intended strike zone but why I use it now is because when casting it acts like a trebuchet and allows me to cast further and more accurate and also avoids the tangles I used to get when throwing a setup without a weight.
Try it out on your next outing, you’ll never go back.

This is one thing Devin and I will never agree on.
I can feel when the pressure drops. I’m tired when it falls and can feel it in my joints. When the pressure rises I can feel it in my sinuses and right behind my eyes and have headaches.
Fish have to be affected by the same forces.
I used to log every fish into a database marking wind / temps / pressure /moon / tide / etc. I had my own analytics company and so I had so cool tools at my disposal.
When I finally started graphing the data, it was very telling. 1015 and 1016 hpa were at the top of the standard distribution curve.
There’s old theories that suggest fish are programmed to eat as the pressure drops as it’s a precursor to nasty weather which will muddy the water making finding food more difficult.
I don’t know.
I ran the data myself and it said fish low pressure.
Maybe the distribution followed the standard distribution range of pressures and so I was correlating the wrong fields, I dunno. But I’m pretty sure I cross referenced it by days on the water so who knows.

We had a similar day on Sunday and in the same spot. I swapped up the Vudu I was using for the shrimplet and they responded better to a smaller profile. I assume its because it resembled more of a minnow. They also seemed to hug the bank and points very close.
I love it when a nice boat pulls up into my drift line and then has something to say. I just start using sign language and speaking like I’m deaf. It immediately makes them feel dumb. Then when I depart, I drop the act completely with a “SEE YOU GUYS!” and a dueces to the sky as I hit the throttle.

The Midwest.
Nice people, but I die everytime I travel there.
I actually visited CPRA up in BR back in the day. Cool place.

CA is a constant salesman but he’s also a very sucessful guide. Here’s his take on it.
Some research on gobies as it relates to goby.

THE FRANK DAVIS FISHING MAP
OF SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA
All the hotspots and primary fishing areas for both saltwater and freshwater sportsmen.
Compliments of WWL-TV and WWL Newsradio 87.
May not be reproduced without the written permission of WWL-TV and WWL Newsradio 87.
THE RED SHADED areas are the primary fishing spots of Southeast Louisiana and are recommended by Frank Davis for consistent catches of Louisiana’s saltwater and freshwater fish. Inland rivers and lagoons are fresh to brackish water. Those fronting on the Gulf of Mexico affected by tidal influence are saltwater, with parts per thousand ranging from 1.6 on the inside western and northern edges of Lake Pontchartrain to 18.0 along the Gulf. It is recommended that fishermen try the shaded areas first when planning trips for both saltwater and freshwater fish, since these are the ones Frank has found to be consistent over the past 35 years
THE LARGE PURPLE DOTS on the map are major access points leading to the primary fishing spots.
Virtually every one has at least a back-down boat ramp (if not a hoist and full service marina).
THE PURPLE LINES indicate the most popular navigation routes leading to the recommended fishing areas. But since many of them also contain excellent estuarine habitat it is recommended that you also try fishing the purple navigation routes as well as the red shaded fishing areas. When in-land, these rivers, streams, canals, and bayous are good for freshwater fishing. When fronting on the Gulf of Mexico or directly influenced by tidal flow they are excellent not only for fishing but for crabbing and shrimping as well.
NOTE: The Lake Pontchartrain Sanctuary, as well as all of Lake Maurepas, is closed to shrimp
trawling.
THE GREEN SQUARES AND RECTANGLES are those spots listed as ‘Frank’s Favorite Hotspots.
Over the past 35 years, he has consistently caught more fish in these areas than at any others across
Southeast Louisiana. These are also the most common fishing spots Frank refers to weekly on Channel 4’s Eyewitness News and on WWL Newsradio 87.
THE SOLID BLUE LINE at the bottom of the map separates the offshore fishing areas of Grand Isle and West Della Blocks Because of their popularity, the Freeport Sulphur Rig (five miles oft Grand iste), Grand Isle B lock 43AA and West Delta Blocks 41,69, 70, 71, 72,73. 96,95, 34,93, and 92 are also delineated, as are the Sandy Point Rigs. East of the Mississippi River in Breton Sound, the Breton Inshore Rigs nave been marked.
Looks like it came free with an order at Popeyes! Also peep the commenter on this video 🤣
