Well, I wish you posted this sooner. I was in bed when you did.
You’re making a good wind call to stay protected.
It’s gonna be tough out there.
I think that if you can get out Saturday, you should.
A lot of water will be leaving the marsh.

“Wind as of today looks like it’s forecasted to be out of the East to Northeast in the 10-15 MPH range.”
You’re gonna take an ass whuppin as soon as you poke your head out into the lake, IF the wind prediction remains the same.
If you must fish Irish Bayou, then go flip pilings for bass with a 3/8oz Texas Rig and whatever black/blue craw or creature bait so long as it isn’t huge. A Missile Baits Baby D-Bomb or Crawfather is ideal.
If you can sneak under that bridge, the grassy pond under those powerlines could be good for trout, reds and bass.
You ought to be protected enough and can get over the grass to fish it.
I see you’re making your way through 101, so keep doing that.
A lot of the “why” that goes into the above is detailed ad nauseam there.
Once the wind lays down you’ll have more freedom to go where you want.

And here’s a couple pictures.

Disregard that 78 degree temp reading.
The transducer in the rear lifts out of the water when the boat is on plane, so it’s getting a mixed water/air temp reading.
When I was off plane, I saw water temps 80-81.

My plans are to make another video for it.
I do agree that the online version looks like it’s better and will be more reliable.
Not to mention that you’ll have your files in one spot rather than just on a computer.
And I doubt it will crash and lose MyPlaces.kml like GED has done to me a couple times.
And you still have the option to download your .kml’s for safekeeping on your own drive.
I also that we can share our planning files like what @john-zablocki has done. That’s a great step in the right direction.
But I still have to play with GeoTIFF, polygons, etc. before I can say “this is actually better”.

I see that you’ve added some big shorelines. The one I like the most is “1_Shoreline” and the shoreline west of it. That white shoreline indicates shells, which indicates a hard bottom, which could be clear water, easier to sight fish.
I think we already had a conversation about big shorelines, so I won’t repeat myself here.
If I only saw this .kml and had no further context, I would look at it and think that you’re interested in covering water and learning as much as possible.
Your red and yellow routes look good.
After that, good luck.

You’re welcome!

I’ll have to play with it.
When AI products first came out, I was dismally unimpressed. But that’s changed.

It’s stuff like this that’s going to make me throw a cheap iPad on my console. Lowrance/Humminbird/Garmin/etc are just losing the navigation game for our coastal niche.
Now, if you’re fishing Toledo Bend, you’re not gonna beat a Lakemaster product. Ain’t no way. But that’s a different animal, and a product like Lakemaster is viable on a body of water like that.
If HB could snap their fingers and make a “true” Lakemaster product for Louisiana, it would be obsolete in a year. Maybe less.

“Might be worth studying whatever the impacts were to Cape Canaveral in the 60’s and 70’s.”
Good suggestion.
I already have. Did the same for Boca Chica. My eyes are bleeding from the amount of reading I’ve been doing.
I’m lining up some fishing guides/pros in the area to get their opinion as well.

Very good point to share.
And I’m happy to report that the prop shaft is still in the round.
I’m being extra paranoid with this motor!!
Thank you for bringing this up, so others may see it.

lol story of my life
But at least you can opt out when you want to.
Very good on your for having the self-awareness to see that reaction for what it is. Not many people can do that.
-
That’s good advice and good to know. Thank you for sharing!

This is why we post reports: so we can compare notes.
I hope that as LAFB Elite grows, this is something we can do to help ourselves realize how close we were to that needle in that haystack.
This is awesome. Thank you, guys.

And there is a cluster of pilings in the bay at the north mouth of Jimmie Canal. They’re pretty obvious in GED and should be sticking out of the water in-person, but just wanted to mention it here in case you weren’t aware.
