    “When I got to this area the wind really wasn’t blowing that bad maybe 5-10, so I decided to try these but as I got further into the pond it became really shallow really quick. I know logically with a south wind and rising tide there should have been enough to float my boat. It’s a 20 foot aluminum bass boat so its draft is shallow.”


    Next time that happens, stop and fish further out.

    “As I was reading some of your articles you have one in there that shows two possible routes and the one I took was before finding this video. If I had known I would not have taken the one I took. When I got to the white poles in Lagoon Brady I went to the right luckily there was a boat right behind me and he went to the left around 50mph and the whole way through the route to the MRGO. Dude knew this route and he was in about a 26 foot CC. He never slowed down.”

    In the future post your route, or describe it.

    “Pass LA Loutre’. Sorry.”


    I’m still not following you. Pass a Loutre is in Venice. You mean Bayou La Loutre? I’m guessing you saw popping shrimp at that four-way intersection with Bayou St. Malo, Baker’s Canal and Bayou La Loutre?

    If so, that’s pretty common when the shrimp are running and sometimes fish can be there, sometimes not.

    “I don’t know where Bayou Pisana is and when I searched GED it shows on the west side of the MRGO.”

    Bayou Pisana used to run across the marsh where the MRGO is today. The spot I have marked as “Trout 1” is the “new” mouth of it after the MRGO was dug. So today you have Bayou Pisana on the east and west side of MRGO.

    I will from now on and I don’t have a problem with posting here since I believe in this community and know we all hold the same values. Great bunch of people you have here Devin. Thank you Devin and for the help to everyone who responded! I’m new to the area and steadily trying to learn how to fish it and catch fish.”


    You’re welcome and thanks for the vote of confidence. I just want you to catch fish and have fun and be successful. If we can get that done then LAFB Elite will be that much better. I have everyone here to thank for making this standalone forum, far from the familiarity of Facebook Groups, as good as it is. Thanks, guys.
