I tried putting straight fluoro on a jigging set up, with the thought process being no leaders to tie = more time to fish. After 2 or 3 trips, i stripped it all off and respooled with braid. Way to spongy for my taste. I have two buddies that only throw straight fluoro and they love it though. I think it comes down to preference.

Excellent pattern recognition and some very useful info in here. Thanks for sharing! We’ll have to link up on a wade one day.

Dude, you are on a freaking roll lately. Hell of a trip my man, nicely done!!!!

@Brett26 How did you do?

Unfortunately 100+ mile trips are fairly common this time of year! Just be sure to check the forecast and wind, as Lake Borgne can kick up and get nasty quick. Worst case scenario is you jump into the marsh and take the MRGO to the intercoastal to stay protected.
Also, I will say that the best part of this forum is the community. I’ve fished with no less than a dozen members, none of which I knew, and it’s been a blast. I say that to say it’s highly likely someone on here will be fishing during that timeframe and you may be able to trade intel or follow them around. Local knowledge can be huge when fishing unfamiliar waters.
Fishing right after the storm may be challenging, but it’s too soon to tell how much it’s going to directly impact us. Last i checked, the track had shifted slightly further south, which is good. Plan redfish/sheep/drum will likely be a good call. I’d post again after the storm and see if anyone plans to fish or where they would go based on what the storm does.
Safe travels and good luck!

Fully agree with Devin. I would hit the beach along elmers island early. Look for signs of life (bait, birds, etc.) and then stop and give it a shot for 10 mins. Then keep working west towards Fourchon, stopping when you see anything. As the day warms up, either back off the beach or fish the barges and rocks of bell pass.
On my last trip to the island, the water was pretty stained around caminada and elmers, kept running west, and found Destin colored water in Fourchon. Spotted rafting mullets off the western point of bell pass, and we waxed them, including my cousins PB. Just be prepared to lose a lot of jigheads at bell pass and keep in mind that those rocks extend out a lot further then you think (underwater) at the points. I would try the outside and inside of both points. Fluoro leader is a must if it’s clean.
We had live bait on board for my cousin. The only place that it made a difference was at caminada pass, everywhere else was plastics. What really made the difference at Caminada was freelining live shrimp. Get on the upcurrent side of the rocks, cast towards them, and let the tide pull the shrimp in towards the rocks. They were smoking it.
Good luck, I’m jealous!
PS – Ryan makes a good point, theres plenty beach to the East, as well as the camps by 4 bayou. You’ll just have to figure out which direction has cleaner water.

That’s a damn good trip! I might have to try bass fishing afterall. What were you throwing?

I have at least a dozen old LASM articles saved, this has been one that I’ve been referencing since circa 2015. The only thing I haven’t been able to find any info on is the location of the Kerr-Magee ruins they mention in the article.

Hey brah, we caught 5 between me and Daniel at the first stop. Best be putting a little more respect on our names!!!

I’m game.

You neanderthal 🤣

Actually Devin, I don’t think I am completely missing the point. The post specificially asked about jigging, which is a very specific technique. My response was in reference only to that, not every tactic/technique in the book.
