Lot of good stuff in this report and replies. Devin, I’m shocked that those other boats miraculously decided to move over and fish the flat 😂. Nice trip. I would assume that the trout probably didn’t move up onto the flat until mid-late morning, around when you launched. That would give it enough time to warm up the water and make it more “trouty”?
@Jared I struggle with that at times as well (fishing cover/visible cover). I forced myself to fish in the marsh for a while and got better at fishing ledges, points, bends, etc. That helped. I also do well fishing oyster reefs, but I tend to have more confidence when they’re marked by PVC pipes…which is illogical. I love bank beating, but I’ve been trying to force myself to focus on underwater cover/structure as opposed to just the visible stuff.
@Daniel_Gig Yeah, I think the secret’s out. Got a couple of reports of fish in the MRGO, and haven’t been hearing much about the pontchartrain estuary the last week or so, since it got cold.
I’m going to try to go Sunday, plan to fish all around the MRGO. I typically avoid the wall like the plague. But I enjoy fishing pac-man style down the MRGO and also checking some marsh areas/oyster reefs off of it. If i make it out there, I’ll post a report.
