“I’ve got a multi day Venice extravaganza lined up next weekend.”
Hell yeah!
“What do y’all think?”
Fack.
I’ve got a route through there I ran last year, but all my GPS tracks are on the desktop at home, and I won’t have access to it for some time.
But I *mostly* remember it. I think you want to look at this Copernicus imagery and you may see that pencil-neck bayou you want to take on your pink route is silted in at the mouth on the west side.
So adjust your pink route to come in at the bayou further to the south, then come up. Plus, at the top of the West Bay Cut there is a nasty sandbar there. Almost got me last year and def got someone last year, saw SeaTow pulling them off.
Your yellow route looks good. Just be careful out there.

“From there ran to the castle passing a good bit of boats all along the rocks.”
Probably because that’s just where the trout are, and of course the fishing pressure isn’t going to help that.
That’s part of the game fishing that area. Have you considered trying somewhere else?
Great report, thanks for posting!

Yeah, overcast light conditions are the best. Those always encourage me to try.
Also, it’s good to see a report coming from the west side of the state.
Great report, thanks for posting!

Fish that point just WSW of 5. It’s that point on the north shoreline of Bayou Robin.
Also add Bayou Lingeo (to the south) to your list of places to hit.
#1 is probably gonna be a dry hole.

That’s a leftover canal dug to the wellhead in the southwest corner of Muscle Bay. The water was clear/low enough for that canal to be seen on that day’s imagery.

The Great Flat of Chalmette will be perfectly driftable in those conditions. It could also have a lot of boats on it. But they’ll quit because it will be a “tough for them” bite.
For the love of all that is good, do not go there and throw a cork. lol

I’ve noticed Mississippi has some bayous/canals protected by trees that MUST turn on when it gets super cold. Always wanted to do that, but always got sucked into something else.
Looking for a volunteer. lol

How long are these rods?
Medium Heavy is way too big for jigging trout.
-
Way to make it happen despite the fish not cooperating.
Lots of talent, great report, thanks for posting!

“Finally, we moved on to the flat by the MRGO and were fishing with shrimp under a cork.”
Did you see my report and video from last year for this exact spot? Fish that flat the way I did and you probably would have limited out. Not every cast action, but consistent enough to catch way more fish all the way to something divisible by 15.
I mean, I wasn’t there on the day, so there’s no way I can know for sure. But when I read reports like this the thought that comes to mind is “I woulda whacked ’em because I would have been doing X while that guy was doing Z”.
“I learned that the conditions for me to fish Martello Castle have to be perfect due to the way my boat handles the waves”
Making those wind calls really makes the difference.
Great report, thanks for posting!

That could be doable. Just take it easy. It’ll be an adventure.

What John said.
I always wanted to run it, never got the chance to. I’d cross reference what’s on GED with the latest Copernicus imagery, maybe it can tell something like obvious siltation or a boat running down it.
-
Okay, well then you should consider using Humminbird PC to load/unload routes and waypoints with it. It’s a great tool, but can be a little technical, which is why I created this course to get you squared away.

And against that northern shoreline. You will see them there on sonar bigger than sh*t.

I love the positive energy and follow through. Good things!
