This is a great report. It really sucks the news you’re delivering though. I think you’re spot on about Lake P and all those other areas with some really deep water nearby. Seems to be the only area that no one has reported a fish kill. I was optimistic at first, and still want to be, but now fish kill reports are just stacking up. It really sucks.

Sounds like a broken sheer pin on your trolling motor. I’ve been there before doing the exact same thing as you LOL. Pretty easy to change on Minn Kota so I started keeping a 5 pack backup on board.

“Made my way up the canal to spots 10 – 18 (i think?). The pipeline ROW was blocked off for construction but there was a skiff sized opening I made it through.”

Tremendous.

About the only place I haven’t seen or heard of fish kills in the masses is Lake P. As if that place needed any more pressure.

This is horrible. Man this sucks.

Good luck!

No problem! Would love to see pics once you get it rigged out

Black crappie are pretty fish

@WestbankJosh where do you fish for those slabs at? I’ve always wanted to try Des Allemands, but normally I just fish for sacs on the Tchefuncte near my house. If I’m trailering somewhere far its for inshore fishing.

@Daniel_Gig you’re in Slidell area right? The upper pearl in the swamps is probably money. Another area I want to try.

Either one of y’all say the word and I’m in

I’m really hoping the weather cooperates so I can get down to East Bay. What makes you like East Bay right now? Just curious. Is it because it’s protected from a North wind like YCB or just because it’s probably awesome year round?

I am glad I posted this because I forgot about the stumps you mentioned, so definitely want to go back through that. AIS too.

I’ll post all my planned routes when I get more time to iron things out. Just praying on the wind and the rain to behave!

You told me about something at the end of SW Pass too. You said there were some LA Sportsman articles about it and I can’t remember what it was! Something like its down in 5 feet of water and you want to check it out. I want to go check that out while I’m down there too.

I’ll be in my 17 ft aluminum Bass Boat. I do like those spots and have been looking at them on GED. I’m just hoping the weather cooperates so I can get down there and settle the debate of:

“Are Fish in Venice Juicing? Or Just The Ronnies?”

😂😂😂

Shooter. I love you.

I bet that Bass Cat was awesome. I love those boats and if I ever got a fiberglass bass boat, Bass Cat or Skeeter is probably what I would go with.

I do have that same issue of water coming over the transom with big wakes from gigantic boats and things like that, but they’re manageable with the trolling motor if I can just take them head on then get back to fishing.

I don’t have power poles on my 178, though I’ve thought about getting them. My boat is only rated for one though. I would ideally rather dual poles. Honestly though, if I had to pick between whether or not I could have Spot Lock or Power Poles, I would choose Spot Lock 100 out of 100 times. A good trolling motor with spot lock is such a game changer. A good trolling motor with dual power poles is the ultimate set up though so if they’re in the budget I would 100% do it.
