Great day and that’s great to hear some are that far inside.

You guys are animals and that trip was well deserved!

Don’t be afraid to drift grass flats in lake Catherine with jerk/twitch baits. That pattern is working in other areas so I don’t think it’s a bad idea to try it in Lake Cathy. I’m actually trying to sneak out there tomorrow morning to do that.
-
Proctors flat is definitely worth checking out 😏
If you find grass and bait anywhere on the N side of the MRGO you should find fish. Also, try the big flat near the wall with a 17mr.

Got big William on a 3 man today in Bayou B. 44 + 1 released 20” by 2:15. Had to work for them but there are trout out there in spots away from the armada. I’ll post a report when things settle down but wanted to get this out there for the guys going tomorrow.

This is literally the only nugget of information I have from my one trip to Venice a few years ago with a guide. We hammered the trout on this spot in late October jigging that drop off.

Very well done….all those areas around Bayou b are worth a try. I’ll be staying in hopedale Friday-Sunday but likely running up to Bayou B. I’m curious how the water changes after this front but things should be settled by the 5th. I’ll let you know how it goes and, at the very least, you can learn what not to do from us lol.

I’d go to bienvenue if I had to fish in those conditions.

Not going to lie……It was nice finally getting on some fish with a jig. The bite was almost non existent….like I would feel some tension, set the hook, and then they would barely fight. Still, I was happy to see some there.
Yes, this was from 11/07 lol. I swear my brain barely works anymore since having a kid.

It’s time to channel all of our rage. We need to figure out a way to galvanize all of these organizations fighting against this. Dave Fladd already said he’d use the RO20 brand to do whatever it takes to help.

The drain drop offs can be worth some casts. It used to be a good area for bass before they disappeared

“Very interesting that you are catching them on a flats bite, which I assume the primary forage there is finfish, like small croakers, gobies, etc.”
It was an interesting bite for sure. Finfish pattern but they only wanted a shrimp presentations. I had a buddy go fish some of the same areas yesterday and he smoked them with a 17mr. I may have been just a day or two early on the hard bait bite.
-
That is correct. I tried a 17mr, Rapala Shadowrap Shad, and a few different shrimp imitation lures worked like a jerk bait. I think I caught around 5fish with the 17mr on super long pauses.

Absolutely. I have a break in between clients at 1:30 today if you wanna chat.

“I also think anyone reading this should see your offer as a grand opportunity to build their angler network.”
I owe a lot of my knowledge to an angling network that was mostly built through the OG LAFB communities. It’s only right that I pay that forward with whatever insight I do have.
“it could be a deep holes game”
This is exactly what I will be building my trip around. I do plan on venturing out a bit but the meat and potatoes will come from deep holes and consolidation points.
“Jahncke’s first thing in the morning.”
You know how much I love topwater fishing. I’ll definitely have that spot and others like it in my back pocket if the conditions line up for it.
“drift Stump Lagoon, hit Crooked Bayou by Muscle Bay, its deep bends, and the mouth of it at Lake Eugenie, especially when the tide is ripping out. I’d also drift the north shoreline of Muscle Bay and hit the deep bends in Bayou Bilox”
Funny you mention this….I just got a report that the trout are in some of these areas. Its almost as if you know what you are talking about.
