That a baby Keith! Hell yeah brother. I’m glad you found them… a lot of them. Great trip!

I’ve never fished the area but I can help with the tackle.
Definitely pick up some Four Horseman Popping corks with about 18-24 inches of leader and a 1/16 oz jig head. Any soft plastic will do.
For the bottom, I would get some 3/8 and 1/2 oz jig heads. Or you could rig up a heavy drop shot.
Those sets ups are the most basic and are also very deadly.

If you want to target redfish, put some dead shrimp under that popping cork and cast it as close to the marsh grass as you can. Find points with water moving around them, doesn’t matter if the tide is falling or incoming. The redfish love to hang out on points with moving water. Hit 10-12 points and you’ll have a nice mess of fish.

Preach my brother. I used to be that guy that shot from the hip every trip and always came back with a weak a** box of fish.
Planning a trip, utilizing this forum, and executing that plan is THE best way to have success.
I’ve caught limits of fish ranging from Lake P, Lake B, Delacroix, Myrtle Grove, and all the way down to Venice. I credit the majority of that success to everything I’ve learned from this group and the LAFB courses.

Sounds like a great day out there. Glad you could beat the rain.

Great trip!

I run all Lowrance and enjoy them. My suggestion would be to get bigger than a 7”. 9” is about the smallest I would want to go.
There are some websites out there like https://www.bassfishinelectronics.com/ and https://www.russellmarineproducts.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoqWGgkTn_tzsp3fpz0S-ZtJssCk3l7pqMBY9a8VNEJGsjuRKu-D where you can buy demo units, lightly used units, or factory refurbished units. You can get them at a discount price and I promise you that you won’t know the difference.
I have two 9” HDS Live units that I got from each of those websites for $1000 a piece (compared to about $1700 new). This was even before the HDS pro came out.
Another cool thing they offer, which I’ve done, is you can trade in your old graph and they’ll give you some trade in money for it. I traded in my elite FS9 to upgrade to the HDS and they gave me a $400 credit for it.
Just throwing that out there if you haven’t gotten one yet.

WBJ. I have mapped out this route before but have never run it. But my route looks the same as yours. I wouldn’t hesitate to run it.

Pick any pond in the marsh and start fishing the opening and work your way in. They’ll be in there somewhere.

Grassy ponds are better

No doubt! I’ll never forget yesterday. I’ve caught plenty of fish in my lifetime— yesterday was all about her. Hopefully she continues to love fishing like your daughter has.

I. Am. Dead.

Lol. Welcome to my life.

It depends on the charger. But for the most part, yes. Most of the modern chargers are trickle chargers and will cut off once the battery is at full capacity. They’ll only turn back on when they need to in order to keep it full. But the benefit of LiFePO4 batteries is that they hold their charge. Once they’re full, you can let them sit and they’ll only lose maybe 1-2%. Sometimes 0%.

No argument from me there. The media definitely made sure to get their clicks.
