We likely saw each other at the first spillway. Were you fishing the inside with a T top?
If you saw a Pro Line struggling to keep still outside the weir, that was me!

Alligator teeth marks on my cork

You had a nice day out there. I’m with you: bring on the cold fronts.

I think your plan could work, but I do agree with some of the stuff Devin said.
Redfish have been tough for a minute down here. I have been targeting them more often recently due to the time of year, my small boat limiting me getting outside for trout, and the wind/weather has kept me inside. Over the last 6-8 months, I’ve targeted Redfish in the Rigolets Area, Shell Beach, Delacroix, Myrtle Grove, and Port Sulphur. It has been tough in all of those areas.
Like you, I don’t really LOVE fishing with a cork, but in all honesty, that is what I have had the most success with when fishing for redfish lately. And by “success” I mean the cork caught all the redfish, save for a handful. I prefer to throw something weedless like a Texas Rigged craw, or throw something more fun like a crank bait or anything that requires more skill, and I just haven’t been able to catch them on any of that.
I would start with the cork and put a gulp or dead shrimp under there, catch a few keepers, then switch it up once you have found them.
Also, in Delacroix I have always had more success fishing for redfish closer to the Mississippi River.
I would consider checking out some areas off Oak River. I attached a screenshot of an area around there I have had success in.
Grassy ponds are your best friend when looking for redfish in Delacroix. I would hop on google earth and mark as many grassy ponds I can find in the area I’m fishing and hit them all up. Those will have the best chances of clean water.

Just a little insight on how windy it was. My trolling motor battery was at 1% when I headed in. I truly didn’t think I’d ever run it down. Prior to this trip, the most I ever ran it down was 38%.
-
That close. Truly insane. We started off throwing an HDS looking for trout!
-
Yes, i assume that was you? You caught all the Trout in the Jump and that’s why we didn’t find any?
-
Damn bro. Till February? I get it, if it’s worth it then it’s worth it.
If you get a chance to sneak away for a Venice trip, I think we can find a way to make that happen
-
Felipe, that hammer trout is worth 50 trout IMO. What a catch bro. You the man!
-
I am not sure what happened with the SD. It worked on my unit when I got home so who knows. Yeah, I went back to the same spot in the jump as last year and just turned around after graphing it. Didn’t wanna waste time and I was antsy. The Ranger shall return soon!
-
Hahaha thank you man. You were locked in reading the report better than our boat was locked in literally anywhere in Venice.
-
That will probably be a good time do go. I’m pretty sure we are supposed to get a cold front by then.

There was actually no “other” category this year. I assumed there would be, which is why I kept the Bass and the Flounder. I was hopeful there wouldn’t be many fish submitted in the “other” category.
