This may the greatest fishing report I’ve ever read.
-
We picked up all the redfish fishing cane stubble behind the beaches. I know cane stubble is a prime trout habitat in Venice, but we only found the redfish.

We never made it down there. @DrillNFill did and said it was a struggle. He can do some damage on the trout so if he struggled my guess is they just weren’t there.
When we got to the first spillway we were greeted with bait balls blowing up everywhere and got to work jigging. We only got a couple of short strikes and never caught anything. From there, we headed down Joseph Bayou and got into East Bay and started fishing the beaches and @WestbankJosh caught 4 redfish, two oversized. After that we met up with the crew at South Pass.
I regret not checking out SW Pass, but @ShooterMcGrabbin was so confident in his plan at the marina it got me thinking too much, so I didn’t follow through with my plan. We live and learn! I’ll be back there soon to check things out in my boat.
Overall we managed a good box with everyone’s catch combined, but @Daniel_Gig ’s boat did the majority of the damage on the trout.
The trout fishing was tough in all the places we checked, and we didn’t see any guide boats in those areas fishing trout. Maybe we went to wrong area or maybe they just aren’t doing their thing yet. That should all change in the near future though and I will be ready.

Ok, I suppose after we get tired of reeling in 24 inchers at SW Pass we will mosey on over to taste the pudding
-
Now that I think about it, last year I caught two 20” trout at the first spillway when the water temp was 80 degrees.
-
Also, SW Pass vs South Pass: which do you prefer?
I’ve always thought of South Pass to be better due to the legendary trout fishing I’ve read about out there. But after really thinking about it, since SW Pass is the main channel of the river, wouldn’t it be pushing more nutrients that South Pass? Thus making the habitat for the fish better? I’m beginning to think SW Pass may be the money spot this day and age.

I’m sure we can catch slot redfish at the first spillway, but I’m thinking there’s a slim chance Trout will have made it up that far yet. What are your thoughts? I’ve considered stopping there first to jig then beating feet to the mouth of SW Pass to hit up the rocks and wing dams.

Lol. A new house with a brand new 30 year mortgage. What a gift!

Yes moving houses. It sucks but the light at the end of the tunnel is near.
And forget moving furniture bro. I’ll pay top dollar to save my back. Movers are worth every penny…. Even if its ALOT of pennies.
