Great report, nice job bud. Question: your artificial setup…it’s a carolina rig with a 1/16th oz jighead on the end? Whats the rationale between using a jighead vs an unweighted hook?

Great report, hell of a way to end it! Thanks for posting
-
Shooter,
I’m in. Will likely be able to bring 24 ft nauticstar. How do i get in touch with you?

I read both reports with pure, unadulterated ENVY. Sounds like a great time was had, knowledge was shared, and friendly trash talk was uttered. I have every intention of making the next one! Thanks for the reports, great trip guys
-
Damn I would love to join in on this, that’s going to be a fun trip. Unfortunately, wife’s great uncle is turning 90 Saturday and he’s having a party in morgan city….selfish b*stard if you ask me!
This is something we need to try to put together a few times a year. Can’t wait to hear the reports and see some pics!

Great report! Agree with Shooter. When tight lining in Lake P or Lake B, 90% of the time your best bet is a 3/8 oz jig head. The other 10% is split between 1/4 and 1/2, and thats when the tide is either dead slack or moving fast.

I was out there this past weekend. Water at Cat was a little dingy. Went to Ship Island and it was much cleaner. Thousands of crabs if you feel like scooping.
I fished for a few hours, managed 2 solid trout, a flounder, and 100 lady fish. Also foul hooked 4-5 cats on jerk baits. The tide was absolutely ripping, caught the trout on 3/8, flounder on 1/2, color didn’t seem to matter. Probably would have done better on hard baits, but I got tired of dealing with hardheads and ladyfish with treble hooks.
They also catch trout around Gulfport harbor as well as a visible reef about a mile outside of BSL.
If you’re bringing the boat to cruise around, tube, etc., you might as well bring your fishing gear! Good luck

nothing wrong with that, thanks for the report! I’m headed down Wednesday – Sunday. Wind looks like its going to be 15+ out of the south, which is less than ideal for fishing the beaches. I’m hoping it lays down or switches to the north so we can get out there. Otherwise, we’ll be hopping around the backside of the islands

Hey, we’ve all been there. On both sides of the equation…sometimes they’re watching you catch, sometimes you’re watching them catch.
I know live bait has it’s place, and I’ll use it occasionally, but it’s pretty rare. Usually when I have a less experienced angler on board or I’m freelining for big trout during a rodeo or tournament. That said, jigging the bridges is a pretty technical style of fishing, and it takes practice. The bridges are the reason i finally picked up a baitcaster 8-10 years ago, and I haven’t looked back. One thing i used to do is cast into our neighborhood pool over and over and over…just practicing until it felt natural and i was getting the lure presentation that I wanted.
80% of the time, I’m throwing a 3/8 oz at the bridges, and i ALWAYS use a fluoro leader, usually 15lbs. I have seen on more than one occasion how much of a difference that fluoro can make, especially in cleaner water.
Keep after em, you’ll be slinging them in the boat in no time, no live bait necessary.

Cliff, the screw lock jigheads don’t get caught up in the grass every cast? I always threw EWG on flukes in grass, but would much prefer a jighead
-
I’ll take some pics and get em to you Shooter

Thanks Cap!
Fog: nonexistent heading out
Why didn’t I try a 1 oz or HDS? My buddy was throwing a 1 oz carolina rig, and even he was struggling to reach bottom without letting a ton of line out. That’s what prompted the move to the island.

Man, I really appreciate that. I’ll send you a message on FB with my email, and I’ll be sure to share any success we have and at what rigs.

I’m running a 24 ft nautic star with a 250, and should have another boat with me. I’ve done 45 miles out of Baptiste Collette, so I don’t mind running, but wind would have to be pretty cooperative.
