“ran the Lagoon Brady route to the MRGO because I figured the spoil canal would be too shallow”
Good call. That and I feel there could be more birds working in the MRGO that you are liable to come across, more so than the Spoil.
If I could make a tackle recommendation: next time you hit the Long Rocks you really ought to try an 1/8 oz jighead cast right up against the rocks. That can make all the difference in the world. Like what you see in the pic below.
Pac Man’ing it has worked best for me, but gets tough when there are a lot of boats. An advantage you have is that you’re anonymous. If I got in there to slug it out there would be people wanting to talk (I can’t hear over the wind, and hate yelling over it) or people cussing me because they think that since I’m within 100 yards that I’m messing up their fishing. *sigh*
After that, did you see rafting mullet? Any diving birds?
Something tells me the Long Rocks aren’t over yet. It’s probably gonna turn on more if the mullet/shrimp show up.
Great report, thanks for posting!
