I am not aware of any inshore fishing podcasts, but would love to start listening to some.
What are some good ones you like? Anything local?

Thanks guys for the responses.
As far as my plan goes— it is pretty much mirroring what I initially had planned for my trip in September on 9/22 when Devin referred to me as the tip of the spear. Well the spear is back baby!
I have about 2.5 days to fish Venice, so I plan to do a lot of exploring. A lot of it. My planning has been mostly routes to and through general areas, so I don’t have all that many spots to show, but I know that in no particular order I want to check out the following areas: Red Pass and West out into Scofield Bay, The Jump, Tiger Pass and Ponds off there, Grand Pass, Zin Zin Bay, First Spillway, Williams Pass, Baptiste Collette Rocks on the MS River side, Wagon Wheel, and other random cuts in the river that look good (how vague!). I will post a pic of some spots I planned for 9/22, but I think what will end up happening is that I will get to the area I want to fish, then find a spot that looks good once I get out there.
Question: I am going with the goal to catch speckled trout and redfish, but another goal is to get more routes stored in my graph. When running a new route in a sketch area like Venice, are you idling pretty much the entire way? Even through a big wide open bay where you gotta run a few miles? Also, I know that the mouths of the canals are where it can get really shallow. Are you idling through pretty much all of those too? I hate long ass extended idles, but I know its worth it based off the fact that I would like to keep my lower unit intact, but also because I have plenty of time to make these long idles since I am staying down there for the weekend.
Let me know!

Awesome report thanks!!

Next time I go down there will probably be Black Friday. Then in December I’ll definitely have multiple trips down there.
I’ll be looking forward to your report from whenever you go. And the video. You should throw it back and do a Fishing Trip Review for Venice!!!

I hope you crush it! I’ll be looking forward to your report as well. I’d like to see your plan too if you are planning on posting it. Good luck!

“Did you only fish a cork there? You didn’t jig the rocks at all? I’m sure you did!”
I did, but didn’t give it the time it deserved. I soaked that cork too long.
“I have had the most brutal days there of running and not seeing a dang thing, getting stuck, getting unstuck, more empty water and I always leave there like “dang, what a day”.
I have felt this way every time I’ve left there and I have yet to hammer anything there lol. Adventure is a hell of drug.
“I do think it’s worth mentioning that when I fish 1st Spillway I fish just outside of it on the south side of the weir on the south side of the spillway going into the river. I’ve just done better there. Then, from there, I drift down and fish the rocks.”
That spot was where I landed those first two specks. It’s a great looking spot. I definitely want to pac man those rocks. I was so fired up at that point on day 1, I was ready to run and gun everywhere lol.

LMAO

Thank you for these! This really helps

I plan to run both this weekend. I will let you know how they go.

This is enticing for sure

That’s true. I forget about those infamous “World Series Trout”. If there were a day to check it out, today would’ve been a great one to do so. I’ll be looking for reports.
