I saw a couple good reports coming from fishing off the banks on the beach in the last few days. I am going to get out there Wed or Fri this week if I don’t go to Lake Borgne.

I was out in Lake Borgne today. The wind was screaming but those damn horse flies still found us 🤣 …With that being said, I would be down but I have to catch up on some stuff tomorrow before going back out Wednesday and Friday.

That’s when I’ve fished it but I just figured with trout being in Borgne, Biloxi Marsh and at the Dam…maybe I could poke my head in there and find them. Thanks for the info!

I’m always down to help out with others trips when I know an area they plan to fish. I’m also guilty of not making planning post in areas I don’t know.

Where the Pen opens to Grand Canal…are you talking about the north or south entrance to the Pen?

I feel like you did the right thing. With that being said, I have some guides I know that I wouldn’t consider as close as you described your relationship with your guide friend. When we talk, I ask them or they ask me, ” How has the fishing been?” Sometimes, they or myself elaborate and sometimes it’s a quick answer. These guys know I don’t need their spots because they see me at the dock with fish and they see me out on the water.

Which guide boats were at the dock when you got back that had trout? I saw a few on my runs that day. I also overheard them on my Saturday trip saying how little gas they burned…I have a feeling they are fishing out of Bayou Dupont into Bay Round.

I had a feeling that was you when I passed by. One of my reports, I talk about catching over 100 keepers on a solo trip and all of my kept trout were 16″+. I was parked on the other side of the underwater rocks by the piling as you were, fishing the rocks and the point. The area you passed me the second time you saw me, I fish from there, 200 yards north all in the tidelines. I do well there all summer long usually.

Maybe on my next trip, I’ll try further in around 3 bayou some more. These fish have me stumped right now for sure. When all this wind dies back down I’ll get back out there and continue the hunt.
