I just ordered 4 more of those same lures. Crazy, they range in price from $14.99 to $8.99. I just ordered 4 more online. It’s the KVD Strike King 300 elite in Table Rock color. It reminds me of a little speckled trout and it has been really good for me in some recent trips. It worked well on trout, bass , and a couple of reds. That fuel issue keeps bugging me. I want to get it completely resolved before my daughter gets back in town for her birthday trip. Probably the universe telling me to get a membership to seatow. She is coming in for a couple of late June trips and that means going outside for trout. I would hate to get stranded on the outside. Anyway, if I get the chance, I will try to put together a video of the past few trips. Hard to do with being so busy.

I absolutely agree with everything you said. The thing is, Todd’s video came out that day, and if it weren’t for my motor giving me a reason to pause, I would have been there one day before everyone else. Also, that morning was probably the last opportunity for that particular shore line, for at least a little while, due to the wind change. I don’t follow reports like that(chasing yesterday’s news). Your plan to use old reports is spot on. I used to do that all the time in the hay day of Rodnreel and Louisiana Sportsman. Those were some fun times. I never posted much, but I sure did learn a lot. I learned about places I never knew existed. Your forum has a little of that nostalgic feel to it. I hope it grows.

That jerk bait will be missed, but I have just purchased 4 more identical ones so the game will go on.

I don’t really care about numbers when I fish. Don’t get me wrong, I like a good catch but even 15 trout is way more than I usually keep. I have my feelings about the current regulations and let’s just say, I didn’t agree with the last changes, but I also haven’t kept 25 trout since the 1980s, and back in those days, 3 ice chest FULL was a normal day out. We had a camp in Fourchon then and we would damn near sink the boat at “The Rocks” at the end of Belle Pass. We would go out there in a 15ft Cajun Special with a 50 Merc and fish like it was no ones business. I remember almost meeting my maker more than once at the wake of a Charlie Hardison deep sea charter or some crew boat that put the hammer down early heading out. Yep, times are different. Much more “refined” group of sportsman out there these days. The young guys better be happy they have someone like you to teach them.

Nothing spectacular so don’t expect much.
