Ok yeah, we saw yall cleaning at the slip. You were washing the boat and he was cleaning fish. Ben Da Rod charters I think. And you guys(or just him) were in front of us as we were leaving Sweetwater.
Respect to both you guys.
But that’s the difference right?
Professionals can do it consistently

when it counts,

despite the odds.
Conditions change, fish move, patterns shift; you gotta learn, adapt, and overcome.
Looking back, I think avoiding the dirty water hurt us. My buddy wanted to push further east, I wanted to go west, and never on my radar was to find line between chitty & chit water, NEVER. But now it is. I don’t like it, but I certainly didn’t like striking out either.
I think doing more GED study on the area would’ve helped mapping out structure, i.e.- holes vs. flats vs. cuts and outlining them more clearly to transition from fishing holes/points in the morning cold to flats/ledges as the day progressed.
I think we should do this again sometime.
Take an area we know holds fish, hit it from different angles, and compare notes.
Pain is the best teacher and I’d like a shot at r̶e̶v̶e̶n̶g̶e̶ redemption.

What an opening 2 stanzas!
Checkout my buddy Frank Lee’s reports inside LA Inshore on FB. He missed his calling.
I hadn’t realized you caught more reds past what you sent so I’ll have to edit my report.
I’ll have to admit, last spring my friend told me his neighbor was gonna take us down to Delacroix my first thought was, “Oh great, some old fogey is gonna take us on a marsh tour of where he caught 100 man limits before Betsy on a cane pole when Louisiana fishing was 0 effort.”
I was in for a shock. The neighbor is my age, a member here, and a legit angler who gave me a proper re-introduction.

I’ve got a Paul Brown corkie tied on and hoping to land a fatty.
I’ll pack a cork rig as well.

There are some guides that have banned braid on their boats because if it gets pinched (like say in a prop) that line becomes a saw.

Friday (1/17th), some autist just dropped a 8-9AM meeting on my calendar. I’m gonna see if I can get it rescheduled, if not I’ll probably just take the meeting in my car at the launch.

I’ll let you know. I got a buddy who wants to go to the MRGO but I think it’s gonna be shoulder to shoulder. In an ideal world I’d like fish the same place as another member(s) with seperate strategies and then whoever finds them first they wave the other one in. Probably goes against the lessons taught here but it’s a quicker way to cover an area, and could help to test/hone competing strategies. Also a little friendly competition makes it interesting.
