That’s a good number to see. I’d be happy with that.
Great report, thanks for posting!

Bad news. I’m out. The timing just isn’t right, but I could probably do something later on in the fall. Huge thank you for an invite from the great and powerful members of this Community! Thank you!

So Venice is delivering on the redfish, as it should be. Excellent news.
I guess all redfish were caught flipping?
Any bass?
Was the water green at all?
Great report, thanks for posting!

I still gotta talk to the baby’s momma and see what I can do.

Soooooooo……

I dunno how I missed this, but welcome to the forum.
Yes, I keep things very real and tend to get to the point. I’m telling you now, the best thing you can do is:
#1: knock out Inshore Fishing 101 and
#2: leverage this forum with a planning post for your next fishing trip, well in advance of it and not the night before. This way we have time to look at it.
Instead, what most people do is not take Inshore Fishing 101 and pilfer the site for fishing spots. Yes, I pay close attention to analytics and most folks leave me shaking my head. I guess it comes with the territory.
You don’t know what you do not know. These are the things you are literally ignorant of, and you have to assume they exist. IF101 and this forum will reveal them to you. A good amount of people have unwittingly telegraphed that they’ve skipped #1 without me having to look by the things they post and comment. It’s like a five year old lying about not finishing his dinner when you clearly heard the trash can lid open and shut. You don’t even need to lift it to know the dinner has gone untouched.
I’ve built the pond, but I can’t make horses drink. Those who do, they post awesome fishing reports and you can find them here.
Thanks for posting an intro.

So how’d it go?

I’d be interested to see how the Chinese knock off night vision would work out. I run PVS-14’s, but no ambient light at all still makes it hard to see unless you have an IR spotlight. PVS-14s are not cheap, but I am wondering what some Gen 2 Chinese knock offs and a big IR flood light would do.

You beat me to it, I was going to reference your report.

Yeah, it’s gonna be breezy. The inside of Fortuna can be good, as can the east side of the MRGO south of the Rock Dam. I would definitely hit the southside of the Rock Dam if I were you. Good luck!

Yes, I shall live vicariously through you guys!

Let’s all pour out a little bubbly for Timmy the Tarpon. His sacrifice will not go unnoticed as the menhaden reduction industry scores another loss on social media. Tiny victories.
Good use of tech.
‘Cause man, I remember how much easier the fishing was. I could go on a milk run in a 15’ aluminum flatboat with a Johnson 2-stroke and easily catch today’s limit of trout, and routinely limit out on trout/reds/whatever (the old limits). No electronics, no casting tackle, no trolling motor, just a hull, a temperamental 2-stroke, a PVC anchor, spinning tackle and grit.
Fast forward to the modern day and I’ve got exponentially more experience, way better tackle, sonar, spot lock, shallow water anchor, satellite imagery, all that stuff and it’s more often than not a grind. Something is up.
Now, I’m not blaming the pogey boats, though they shoulder some of the responsibility. I primarily blame other things, but I do think that menhaden reduction industry isn’t serving a necessary function for the fishery or for the economy.
“bUt tEh jOhbS”
Blow me.
Where were these people when the GWOT was winding down and all the contractors lost their jobs? Huh? Yeah, nowhere to be seen. And you know what they did? They got another job doing something else.
Where were the pogey folks when libraries had to contend with the Internet? Yeah, nowhere to be seen.
Anyway, I’m getting this morning started on a good note.

“I think a lot of us fish because it scratches an itch nothing else does”
Spot on.

PVS-15s are nice, but with the 14s you can keep natural night vision in one eye.

Many have been passed. I pass with nav lights on, then turn them off after I get a good distance from them so I don’t blind myself. If I ever see anyone get close, I turn them back on. Doesn’t really ever happen.
