“along with a ribbonfish (not something you see everyday)”
We used to see them pretty regularly!! Perhaps it’s a sign that things are going back to the way they were.
“planning to fish the mouth at Lake Eugenie, but we had two to three-foot waves inside the bayou and eventually realized the mouth would be almost unfishable,”
Too bad, because that’s a great spot for a falling tide. Next time.
“but the best fish we caught were sitting deep at the Rock Dam. That’s a bit puzzling to me”
It’s a giant reef that’s probably come alive with the Saltening and more croakers and pinfish. The only problem with it is that it’s hammered all the time. But, as you saw, if you can get in there with presentations that fish usually don’t see (like your jigging) then you will catch fish most people miss. The south side probably could’ve been productive, too.
It was certainly a tough day to fish. Wind like that doesn’t help. But now you have a handle on what’s out there and with the cooler weather maybe your next trip will be more productive. I’m going tomorrow and would love to go that way to build upon your report because it’s a good one. But alas, my buddy wants to take his boat and it’s slipped in Delacroix. So we will figure it out over there.
Great report, thank you for posting!
