Sounds like a hell of a trip! Crazy what happened to your trailer tire. I’m glad you’re ok though.
In my emergency kit, I just try to have 3 of everything I could ever possibly need, whatever that item may be. One is in use, one is a backup, and one is a backup to my backup.
If you have two, you have one. If you have one, you have none.
Congrats on graduating bro! Just make sure to let wherever you work know that you’re a fisherman, that way they’ll expect an ample amount of “sick” days for fishing!

That a baby Keith! Hell yeah brother. I’m glad you found them… a lot of them. Great trip!

As for those bait fish… it’s tough to tell. They sorta look like baby Shad but I don’t think that’s what they are.

I’ve never fished the area but I can help with the tackle.
Definitely pick up some Four Horseman Popping corks with about 18-24 inches of leader and a 1/16 oz jig head. Any soft plastic will do.
For the bottom, I would get some 3/8 and 1/2 oz jig heads. Or you could rig up a heavy drop shot.
Those sets ups are the most basic and are also very deadly.

If you want to target redfish, put some dead shrimp under that popping cork and cast it as close to the marsh grass as you can. Find points with water moving around them, doesn’t matter if the tide is falling or incoming. The redfish love to hang out on points with moving water. Hit 10-12 points and you’ll have a nice mess of fish.

Preach my brother. I used to be that guy that shot from the hip every trip and always came back with a weak a** box of fish.
Planning a trip, utilizing this forum, and executing that plan is THE best way to have success.
I’ve caught limits of fish ranging from Lake P, Lake B, Delacroix, Myrtle Grove, and all the way down to Venice. I credit the majority of that success to everything I’ve learned from this group and the LAFB courses.

Sounds like a great day out there. Glad you could beat the rain.

Great trip!

I run all Lowrance and enjoy them. My suggestion would be to get bigger than a 7”. 9” is about the smallest I would want to go.
There are some websites out there like https://www.bassfishinelectronics.com/ and https://www.russellmarineproducts.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoqWGgkTn_tzsp3fpz0S-ZtJssCk3l7pqMBY9a8VNEJGsjuRKu-D where you can buy demo units, lightly used units, or factory refurbished units. You can get them at a discount price and I promise you that you won’t know the difference.
I have two 9” HDS Live units that I got from each of those websites for $1000 a piece (compared to about $1700 new). This was even before the HDS pro came out.
Another cool thing they offer, which I’ve done, is you can trade in your old graph and they’ll give you some trade in money for it. I traded in my elite FS9 to upgrade to the HDS and they gave me a $400 credit for it.
Just throwing that out there if you haven’t gotten one yet.

Tremendous. Maybe this can be the new LAFB sticker.

Glad you enjoyed it. You earned it.

Crack high

No doubt! I’ll never forget yesterday. I’ve caught plenty of fish in my lifetime— yesterday was all about her. Hopefully she continues to love fishing like your daughter has.

I. Am. Dead.

Lol. Welcome to my life.
