Okay, I see.
Well, I’m with ya. For years during the Freshening the usual milk run I’d make in Biloxi Marsh dried up. That began in about 2015. It was just a suck festival. Hardly any fish. But one place that was banging that entire time was Delacroix. I think it just has more bait and that’s where fish in Pointe a la Hache/Buras go once the river rises. I could be wrong.
Those years I’d watch Jack Payne and others post incredible dockshots (100+ trout) and I caught jack. lol I’m still figuring it out, but this year was far more productive, finally catching that learning curve. I don’t think the bottom structure/composition of Delacroix is any different from that of Hopedale or even Biloxi Marsh, though Katrina definitely scraped the marsh away in a lot of areas. Fortunately we have older imagery to tell the tale.
The coming cold weather is going to make finding fish a lot easier. I’m sure trout are going to pile up, but they may not bite if it gets cold enough. Then it will be a redfish game.
I really want to get out there for it, but there’s so much maintenance and LAFB-work to do that I’m going to sit it out and get the fireplace and something warm to drink. lol
Just remember that inshore fishing is a journey, not a destination.
