    “I’d compare river levels from last year to this year. IIRC they were about the same, but I could be wrong.”

    Great advice. I didn’t think of that. Definitely important to do and I need to add River Levels to my log.

    “If I were you, going to Delacroix, I would look hard at Bayou Duhe on the west side of Lery and the south/southwest shoreline of Lery especially if grass is growing there. Then Spanish Lake and whatever lee shoreline in Grand. Little Oak, too.”

    Thank you for this— another thing I didn’t think of. I’m going to start here then continue my way down Oak River and fish closer to Point a la Hache. It would be great if I could knock out a limit quick then go searching for other fish and logging my time to find new areas that produce.

    Another question I’ve got: when you’re targeting redfish and it’s not really clean or sunny enough to sight fish them, I would imagine you’re just blind casting down shorelines? That’s pretty much what I do, but what is your go to lure when you’re in blind cast search mode? I’ve always used a 1/4 oz or 1/8 jig with an H&H gold blade because it’s what I’m most comfortable with. I know the lure doesn’t make all that much of a difference if the fish are there, just curious as to what your go to set up would be.
