Things you can count on:

1. The sun coming up

2. Billy G’s Charter Service laying the smack down

Great report yet again

Also, what’s up with the bird pattern lately? Seems like everything under them is exactly what you reported. Just smalls and catfish. It seems like the keeper trout haven’t been under the birds consistently since fall of ‘23.

How could I forget. @WestbankJosh smashed trout under birds all year long last year.

Thanks for the report. I’ll be out twice this weekend and will report back.

Sounds like a hell of a trip! Crazy what happened to your trailer tire. I’m glad you’re ok though.

In my emergency kit, I just try to have 3 of everything I could ever possibly need, whatever that item may be. One is in use, one is a backup, and one is a backup to my backup.

If you have two, you have one. If you have one, you have none.

Congrats on graduating bro! Just make sure to let wherever you work know that you’re a fisherman, that way they’ll expect an ample amount of “sick” days for fishing!

“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.
