I like this trip plan and may do the same thing Saturday. I was going to go down to Port Sulphur again this weekend like last but then I read how Capt. Devin said to quit doing the same thing.
I’m like you, I have 90 Yamaha so I can’t really get too far out either. I also may have three in my 18 foot boat Saturday, and that’ll slow us down.
You think Franks is the closest you can get? I’ve gone out of the Jean Laffitte public launch before and it’s a fast run down the canal, and there are some huge power line poles that have a lot of grass around them that we caught redfish in. This time of year that grass may provide some shade for them to hide in.
FYI, I see you’re using 30lb braided. I’ve been using 20 lb braided forever and I’ve never had a line break and have caught as big reds and black drums as you’ll find out here. You may be overdoing it and it’ll slow your lure down trying to get to the bottom. Just a thought
