Those whiteys make for an excellent fish fry. Hopefully once it gets cold those shrimp and trout will do their thing. I remember last year it took some time for that to happen— October was pretty lackluster and it didn’t really get going till mid November. Sounds like you covered the area thoroughly. Great report!

In my experience Williams Pass (west bay cut) has been white trout and catfish city. It’s pretty deep there and there’s obviously excellent current. So bring an HDS for sure.

10/10 on the report. 11/10 on the hand drawn diagrams in the report.

Yeah I love those maps. I look at them all the time before fishing. Like Devin said, its great to have a visual.

The boundaries were anywhere in Louisiana Waters. A run definitely could have won some money, and for the guys that won, I can only imagine thats what they did. But they had bigger boats more capable of making those long runs. I was hand cuffed due to my boat size so the odds were definitely stacked against me.
That was actually the first time I ever truly explored the Bienvenue Marsh— most of the time I just cut through there when headed to the MRGO or The Wall.

Waking up this morning $500 richer…

Well the report was worth the wait. Great report!
Much respect on braving the elements and keeping the trip going despite all the adversity.
Welcome to LAFB. Banger first report.

Even better. 36V on a 17 ft. I use the LiTime on board charger and it’s been flawless. The whole set up has been flawless.

LOL tremendous recap of Friday morning for Team JTT

Call me captain hindsight because my stubbornness gets in the way of my plan all the time

I run a single 36V 50ah LiTime for my trolling motor and a 12V 140ah LiTime for my cranking/house battery.
The most I’ve ever run the trolling motor battery down is to 40%, and that was after a day where I was on it heavily for like 9 hours. The cranking battery has never gotten below 90% and I run two graphs, a NMEA network, and all my boat accessories off it
It runs more efficiently at 36V, so it takes less juice to give it power. LiFePO4 batteries alone will give you more efficiency too, so at 24V you should see improvement. I would personally recommend going with a single 24V battery to save space and weight, but two 12Vs will also be fine.

“Did you guys fish the mouth of Joseph Bayou, specifically with an HDS?”
Ugh. No. I had a route planned that ran through Joseph bayou to the beaches of East Bay. When we were leaving the first spillway, an offshore guide was running through there. We decided to follow him instead of trusting the route I made. Come to find out, his track was pretty much the one I made. We didn’t even stop at Joseph Bayou.
“You let that autist temu viking get in your head!!!”
He can be quite convincing lol
“I have no idea why I care so much, I’m not gonna get out there anytime soon lol”
It’s great that you care. It makes the forum that much better.
Whenever you get your new boat, hopefully it’ll be prime time Venice action and you can “break it in” by running straight to the jump for you limit.
