Thanks for the report. I’ll be fishing Delacroix this Saturday. I haven’t decided yet if I want to fish East or West of Terre Au Beoufs, but I’m leaning towards East. Looking like a bluebird day for me Saturday as well. I want that topwater bite but now idk!

Be mindful of the fog. There was a boating accident down river on Friday near Head of Passes because of it. I wouldn’t leave the marina until the fog lifts. It’s just not worth it down there.

That’s awesome! Supporting each other’s businesses and endeavors is what it’s all about. Devin’s willingness to share knowledge and help others is awesome, and like you I truly appreciate it too. Drop a link to your YouTube channel and I’ll subscribe.

Any hose bibs near the slips? If there’s one nearby, a really long hose will do the trick. I’m not sure what to do if there isn’t one.

Happy Birthday! Great report. Once you get that baitcaster dialed in it’s truly a game changer. I felt the grind of your trip while reading your report because the same thing has happened to me so many times in that area haha.

[Boyce]

Hell yes! I was already planning on hitting Delacroix in the next two weeks, so seeing this is getting me fired up!

The King of Lafitte has returned to re-claim his throne.

Hell of a grind in spite of the tough conditions. I’ll take that box all day long. Great report!

Ranger also made a 20’ bass boat that is comparable to this new Tracker, but I’ll be honest and say I like the new Tracker better.

I like how rounded everything is and it almost looks like a glass boat in some ways.

That Xpress X21 is sick. But man, if I were in the market for a new Bass Boat, it would be hard to convince me not to get that Tracker, throw my ghost and graphs on there, and let her rip.

Attached is a recent satellite image of Venice. The River has muddy water everywhere. You will want to get away from that. I would fish as close to the Gulf of America as I could, weather permitting.

It’s going to be tough fishing. If you’re prepared for that mindset wise you can still have a great trip.

Also, try getting in the shallow ponds between Grand and Tiger Pass. The water may be cleaner in there because of less river water influence. Though with the river being what it’s at now, I would bet they’re dirtier than when I was there last in February. I didn’t have any success there, but the water was too low for me to get back up in there like I wanted. You will have more water and maybe can catch some nice slot reds in there.

You can find a route to Yellow Cotton Bay in this post: https://www.lafbelite.com/forums/discussion/2-14-2-16-venice-planning/

There are also some marked spots in YCB and East Bay in that post. Try them out.

Good luck. Enjoy the world’s greatest fishery. Let us know how you do.

Good point. I planned a bunch of spots East tonight. Thanks for the input.

How did you last week in the MRGO?

[Boyce]

Idk, I guess so. Capt Brandon Carter made a post about it after that accident this past Friday. A live camera feed down there would be legit!

[Boyce]

I hear you. I have a steel trailer too. Probably the same one as you.

“I heard that one of the Campos sparta-kicked him in the water years ago.”

YES!!!!!!

That dude is a douche bag.

Haha nooooooooo!! Hopefully there’s an easy way to do it.

I would do the same thing though. Gotta get that right.
