“I was listening to a podcast with the Carter brothers where they said they have never whooped up on trout at East bay rigs”
Was that Tuna Town Talks?

Any word on your boat?
FWIW, I’ve got one boat at Slidell Marine and another at Boat Stuf in Slidell. lol Top that!!!

Thank you, John.

For the record, I have told multiple here in this forum to go do this exact thing and that they would probably get the exact result you did. It’s like I wrote a book on this or something.
“surprisingly found some trout in the 14-16″ range still around”
Yeah, they’re lost. They could use a boat ride. lol
“It’s just something else when you see them light up on your sidescan!”
Hell yeah it is!
“the winds had shifted to more of a westerly direction”
I don’t know how strong the afternoon wind was, but the powerlines closer to the west end of the lake tend to be more protected. Getting there would’ve been rough, though.
“I can only imagine once the water temps start heating up there will be more reds in the area?”
They’re pretty much always there. When it gets so hot that you can’t stand it, they will be there. They just bite in the morning and evening. More so in the morning. I’ve caught ’em in water 91 degrees.
Excellent work on the reds. Way to execute. It’s really good sonar fishing.
Great report, thank you so much for posting it!

Did you go? Do you have a report?
-
“It was more difficult this time to get on a good bite with inexperienced crew on board.”
That I understand. I don’t know what it was like, if you had to cast, untangle lines, etc. but if you had some hitters in the boat with you then chances are you would have caught a lot more trout. It sounds to me (I could be wrong) you’re pretty close to the smorgasbord of trout. A lot closer than EBM, Long Rocks or whatever.

“sandbar (location below)”
You are a saint.
“After 45 minutes to an hour of freeing the boat by getting out and pushing”
So, technically, you weren’t stuck. Just inconvenienced. lol Also, way to go on just getting the boat out yourself. Way to man up. Love it.
Yeah, so this tells me (especially based off previous reports) that Venice is the way to go. It is the Promised Land of milk and honey. Always has been.
Great report, thank you so much for posting!

So, do we know of anyone that has been smoking the trout in that area? Any reports from FB?
I’m starting to think that they’re just in the surf and that’s it.

If you guys get together I can pitch in just because I think it’s cool and understand that you gotta make a move. Build it and they will come. For example, I’ve been trying to get my military buddies together before we’re all dead and managing their schedules has been like herding cats. But, when I finally said “F it” got the hotel, bought the plane ticket, screenshot both and sent it to them then they got off their asses and showed up.
It will probably be the same thing here.
I’m not sure if I’ll make it or not. I’m slammed for the next 45 days and have two sick boats in the shop (the Tracker needs a new MAP sensor or some other kinda sensor and I just don’t have time to trouble shoot that now). It would be good if I could, because I use some fresh B-roll. I have very little snapper content. Not that I’d really need that, but it would be a cool bonus.

Yeah, thanks. I was hoping to sell the book for ~$20.
But that didn’t happen because that’s Amazon setting the price that high because there’s tons of pictures in it and those are expensive to print. I’ve considered re-writing the book as text only to get the cost down, but that is a sh*tload of work, as you can imagine.
With that said, what it cost me to learn all of that, put into a proven process and format it as a book far exceeds the amount of work most authors put into theirs, or learning it all the hard way.
I must really love it, because there’s a dozen other things I can do for more $$$ that are way less of a hassle.

Fish shadows and dried water stains.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
In all fairness I would have looked right at that corner on GED and been like “yeah, I’m idling that”. I would idle and graph the entire frikkin thing on my first time out there (and I did).
With that said, out of the quarter million licensed inshore anglers in Louisiana, there are only enough to count on one hand that post actual Venice reports here. Please grant him life. lol

Good question.
EBM = East Biloxi Marsh
Yeah sure, you could try Delacroix closer to the river.
-
I am also bad at counting. You’re in good company.

Johnson! That’s a throwback. I had a 50 that served me well.
Everyone stop what you’re doing and give a moment of silence to a great two stroke.
