If folks are catching fish at the Long Rocks, then Comfort Island and surrounding area is definitely on.

Bumping this to the top.

You’ll have recent reports here in a few days. Check back with us, as a bunch of us are fishing down there Thursday thru Saturday.
-
Building off what I said earlier, you will want to take a look at this post.
It’s practically a “gimme” (actually…it is) and I would do a fishing trip out that way as conditions allow.

Not really. MODIS is at the end of its life span. I think one satellite has already burned in, the other one is on its way out.
I strongly recommend CSSP Geosphere. It gives you an image every 10 minutes, versus once or twice a day.

“but I had the itch and had to get out there”
Man, I hear that lol thirsty over here
“Got back to Hopedale with about 10 minutes to spare before it all let loose on us.”
Boom. That’s how it’s done.
“Around 15 throwbacks”
Yikes! I hate hearing that.
“Didn’t stick to one spot, trolled up and down the rocks.
That’s how I like to do it, if I can. Sometimes there’s too many boats. April is really best to hit the Long Rocks before the crowd shows up.
“Long rocks produced, was fishing under a popping cork with live shrimp and Vudu shrimp.”
Now, I can’t help but notate something here: I hear a fishing report like that and I know I can get in there and crush a limit with a jig, casting to the rocks, as detailed here. Yes, it makes a difference. All the difference in the world, and not just there, but anywhere trout swim.
But whatever, you did good. Excellent report. I’ve been waiting patiently for a Long Rocks report, but the wind has not been cooperative. Thank you for striking when the iron got hot and letting us know about it!

Man, kudos to you for waiting out the storm. When I saw it that morning I immediately thought of you and @Jason_B knowing it was throwing a huge monkey wrench into y’all’s plans. I hate that for y’all. Sometimes you can wait it out, move around and make it happen, but wind is wind and lightning is lightning.
You’ll get at them next time.
Thanks for taking time to post a report. It was great reading it. Thank you.

Man, if you would’ve let us know you wanted to fish those areas, we (well, me…at least) would have steered you away. I’m not sure if you were targeting specks, reds or both, but I wouldn’t fish Muscle Bay, Cutoff, etc. for speckled trout this time of year. I’d be looking further east at diving birds and the oyster beds there. Bays Lawson and Boudreau across 3 Mile to West Karako is where I would look. Or the reef balls in Missisippi Sound, or south to Bay Eloi.
You can certainly get on redfish in Muscle Bay area, but the bowfishing charters have made those harder to come by.
Let us know next time you plan to go fishing and we can get you pointed in the right direction.
Kudos to you for sticking it out with the rain. That’s dedication and I respect that.
Above all, thank you for taking time to post a report. Thank you so much!

Well dang, I just took a giant crap on Hwy 11 for @Bennet planning post. lol
I’m a big dummy.
But at least he’ll be ahead of the power curve fishing Lake Borgne.
Godspeed, Bennett! lol
-
Man, I’m hoping you saw @Geremy report last night. Literally the Hospital Wall and Hwy 11 you might want to consider if Lake Borgne is too rough.
-
Yeah, I’m sorry to hear that. I wish I could do something or offer a solution, but unfortunately I do not have one.
FWIW, I think there’s an open-source way to do satellite imagery with a cheap $50 tablet and ATAK, but I haven’t gotten around to researching it yet. Believe me, when I do, you guys will be the first to know.
-
Yeah, I’ve done that for areas that didn’t have any good imagery.
But, be careful posting about that. The owner of Standard Map would sue the pants off of anyone trying to encroach on his business.
In 2016 at iCast we were hanging out and I mentioned to him that I was writing an article to show people how to use SASPlanet and IMC, and he stopped what he was doing, pulled out his briefcase and showed me all the litigation he had initiated.
I’m sure that now he’s old enough where he doesn’t have that kind of energy anymore.
You’re good to post about it here because it’s a private forum, but I wouldn’t put it out in the public anymore.
And +1 on the computing power. Simply put, if one has to ask if they have it, the answer is “you don’t”.
But with today’s processing power, rasterizing images should be a breeze.
-
Okay, that makes sense. Good to go. Magill Lagoon can be good, especially if there’s grass in it, or trolling Bayou Magill with gold spoons is a classic.
-
Yeah, when I saw the weather I was thinking of you. Some days you’re the hammer, other days you’re the nail.
But there is next time. The fish won the battle, but not the war.
Thanks for reporting back.
-
Excellent.
Also, I would look hard at the reef at the top of Lake Borgne at 30˚ 04.283’ N 89˚ 35.107’ W
There’s a full list of all the reefs here on my site.
