Running through a storm in SW Pass sounds terrible, I feel your pain. I would’ve partook in many beers after that.
I’m glad y’all had fun and got on some fish.

“I don’t think anyone else came anywhere close to that on that day.”
They did not.
Running in the dark with NVG was a sick start to the entire trip. Really set the tone for the whole competition aspect of this trip.
Thanks to @ShooterMcGrabbin for making it all happen of course. What a guy he is.
Because of this trip I’ve got a new area to add to my GED files of where I have caught Speckled Trout at in Venice. I hope that GED file continues to grow as long as I live.
At the end of the day, none of the competition stuff matters to me as much as all of the boats in our fleet got to have successful days on the water, without guides, and we all did it by meeting each other through LAFB. That is really cool to me. But whats even cooler is that everyone is just good people, fun to be around. I’m looking forward to the next one!

@Walter you sir are a legend!

“We are in a LAFB wet dream.“
YES

Great report. Now onto Venice next week. Its calling your name!
-
Yes they are. If you’re looking for a new card, the easiest way is to get it is from a local tackle shop. If you’re looking for customer service…. good luck.

Listen. @WestbankJosh and I are boarding Marsh Demon 1 and are taking no prisoners. Pucker up.

Love the plan. I’d work the hell out of the rigs and shell pads. Now is the time. Graph them first then go to town on that jig. I wouldn’t be overly concerned about the weather either. The overcast will be nice. Hope you do well.

Amazingly written report per usual. Man, a few years ago I had a trip planned down to that area and the wind was blowing so hard for 3 days, I spent a lot of time in those same areas you fished and got similar results. Especially in those Mangroves. That whole area just looks so good, but I couldn’t find hardly anything in there either. Went back to Fourchon last summer looking for trout and revisited those mangroves on the way in… same results.
Someone down there told me that they catch more redfish on cover like camp pilings and and stuff like that. I have never went back to check though.
Still a respectable tournament for you as expected though. Keep the reports coming!!!

Hell yeah nice trip!
-
First off: sweet boat. That thing is built for dominating Venice.
Second: take everything Devin said about running around down there very seriously. Thats me at the helm in the Key West pictured stuck on a sand bar IN THE RIVER. Stopped us in our tracks and we have made dozens upon dozens of trips down there.
That being said, why don’t you make a few routes and post them up? We can give you some valuable insight that may or may not help keep that Haynie clean.

I’d bomb cast topwater lures with that 7′ rod. Put a 150 size reel on it.
-
You want a shorter rod to be able to jig effectively for control and efficiency. The shorter rod gives you tighter, cleaner control over the lure. It also wastes less of your energy when jigging a shorter rod. Another benefit is accurate casts.
