Great report, thanks for posting!

Yeah, I’m def not gonna have a boat for awhile, but on the bright side I’ll be in the office more here to support you guys.
You guys are the main effort! I want reports, dammit!!

There’s storms in the morning, too. It just depends.
I think you can find a good morning bite, you just need to try elsewhere.
Honestly, the more reports I see come out of that area, the more I’m inclined to try somewhere else.
I’d get to the bleeding edge of river water and fish there, that would be somewhere like American Bay, or north of there.
It shouldn’t be this hard to find fish, but they are definitely somewhere. You should’ve crushed them at the rigs in Bay Eloi. They really haven’t been as awesome as they were historically before the Freshening.
Also, you should definitely have 1/2 oz jigheads. Get a dozen 3/4 and 1 oz, too. You’ll eventually use them, whether that’s Breton Sound or somewhere close like Seabrook. For sure in Venice.
Great report, thanks for posting!

What makes you think that a limit was doable? You think that the fish were chewing, just somewhere else?

I don’t know how this slipped past me.
Great report, thanks for posting!

Good question.
That’s the section of jetty that was removed to create the Rock Dam. That opening has been there since 2009. Either end can be good to fish, just treat it like a point. The middle can be good to fish, too. Sometimes it acts like a pass and funnels water.

Not bad at all! Great work.
I assume you’re still fishing today. If so, good luck out there!

“Today was a struggle. I arrived at Hopedale marina for 430 and was heading down bayou la loutre at 448.”
Hell yes.
“Then lady fish came in”
Were they the big ones that are like 20″ long, or the little annoying ones?
“The current was screaming toward the east, would that be impacted from Neptune pass?”
No, that’s just normal tide for that area, though Neptune certainly pushes water if you’re just outside of it.
In years past at places like Central Rig we will use 3/4oz or 1oz jigheads to get to the bottom. It looks goofy, but it works. Or just separate the lead/hook with an HDS.
Also, rig hooks go a long way out there.
“I need to call the company that owns the wellhead because it was leaking lpg.”
Sadly, that’s more common than what most people realize. If you can make the call, then you should.
“I fished at least 2 dozen wellheads including the Central rig”
That is a solid effort of the ages.
“It was a pretty rough day and I feel whipped, still good to get out and learn.”
Great report, thanks for posting!

Thanks for the heads up. I’ll keep that in mind!
-
I think you’d be crazy not to fish the rigs out of Cocodrie. Surely they’re on right now.
-
“Second, my Garmin could locate and paint AIS transponders.”
THIS right here. That is a great point to bring up. Excellent feedback, thank you.
-
Oh no, it’s great. It’s the “hunches” you can only get from being on the water that are good to acknowledge. Something might be there.

Yeah, I’ve used their card in a few different units and it’s overall good. It was best in a Lowrance/SIMRAD.
There’s another one in Florida, but I forget it’s name.

And a floating flipper for catfish/ trash fish goes a long way.

I’m glad to hear about the inReach. It could save your ass one day. It works best with the functionality of the Garmin Messenger app for iOS or Android.
The private map website is good so your lifeline knows where you were at last.
Also, you may be able to find a used Lakemaster card on eBay, save even more money.
