Man, lots of great reports have been coming out of Breton Sound. It’s just been on fire and it is acting like it’s supposed to. I love that. I remember when it was covered in river water during the height of The Freshening and it was just one giant no-go.
I cannot wait to get back out there.
Great report. Sounds like a helluva day on the water. Thanks for posting!

Bumping this to the top. Let’s get this man’s trolling motor sold!

“I fished the south bank of West Cove early until around 10 a.m. I chose that area because the south wind had been blowing for several days prior, and it offered some protection from the heavier wind and rough water in the open lake.”
That makes sense. Good planning.
Do you think the trout were spread out in such a way that drifting would have been a good choice? If you make a quarter mile drift and pick up a few trout each time, you can repeat that to get your limit. It would be a grind but it would work.
Great report, thanks for posting!

Man, the wind looks like complete ass. I’m sorry. It’s gonna be tough.
I would definitely work to stay as protected as possible. You will be definitely be fishing behind the islands.
Those rock piles behind Grand Isle are worth scoping out with a jig (or live bait if that’s what you got for your family).
This is gonna sound crazy, but I would make the run up into Golden Meadow and even as far as PAC to find grassy ponds and hammer the redfish there. I think you could do good things there. It’ll be a fun boat ride, too.
After that, island hopping.
The backside of Casse Tete could be good and that beach/sandbar on the west side of Belle Pass could be good. Heck, you might even be able to fish the rocks inside Belle Pass and not get beat up by the wind.
What do you think?

Good planning post, give me a minute to look this over. Thank you.

Short, sweet and to the point. Excellent fishing report. This is all that’s needed. I know I don’t need (or want) actual spots. Just tell me what you’re seeing out there and I can make the decision as to whether or not it’s worth the additional effort.
Thank you for posting!

I’m assuming you’ve got a 21ft Nautic Star?
After that, what you need to do is look at the conditions and plan accordingly to that. What’s the wind doing? We know what the trout are doing: pushing outside or already outside for their spawn. We also know that there’s a brown shrimp run, a pretty strong one. As there tends to be this time of year.
I’d pick out at least 13 spots based on the conditions, then make a safe route running to all of them and back to the dock. This post is a good example. And the attached picture is what a finishing planning product looks like (at least when I do it).
This is what I teach inside 101. All those things. It’s how you put serious thought into planning and executing fishing trips, and it’s what I used to catch fish across Louisiana’s coast, completely from scratch.
Everything I would tell you here is already laid out inside 101. There’s no good reason to re-type all that here. But if you came back with an actual planning post then we could give you feedback to make it better. Otherwise, we are just re-inventing the wheel, rather than using one to go somewhere.

I have thousands of recapture reports, a litany of personal fishing reports and more that I would love to run through a homemade LLM to see if can’t extract something out of it all.
Lots of homework to do, but I’ll get it done. Just gotta focus and knock out IF201 and some menhaden content first.

That is so cool! Thank you for sharing.

Recovering from the freeze and the Freshening.
This low river will have more fish to the east. It’s not like the Freshening when we had all that river water pushing fish west. They are definitely more spread out.
Great report, thank you for posting! You did really good and it was nice living vicariously through you.
-
I think it’s safe to say that the trout are recovering from the Freshening.
This warms my heart.
Thank you for posting this report, Will. I greatly appreciate that!
-
Yeah, I ran Evans last year across that bay. You can do it. I’d come off plane far out from the peninsula and idle in.
It’d be great to see you get on some fish! There’s been a lot of great reports being posted. Making me thirsty.
-
No worries.
As others here will confirm, the juice is worth the squeeze.

You’re welcome. And thank you for applying yourself. Not many are willing to do that. Most people just want to be spoonfed.
