Just another note: I hate sound preachy about personal health, so please don’t take what I’m saying that way. I’m just trying to be helpful and bring something important to light, as many folks don’t talk about it.
I was able to fish Dularge and Venice back to back, both all day on the water, towing there and back each way. I’ll admit that last night I was ready to get something to eat and go to bed, but I had to talk myself out of fishing today.
That’s good stamina, and I have that because I work out, eat decent, sauna, cold plunge, etc.
It really is as simple as avoiding the double-fried oreos and daiquiris at Mardi Gras. Maybe just ditch breakfast and trade that bag of Zapps for an apple.
I know when I’m older I want to be jacking trout in the face, not sitting out because I don’t have the energy or whatever. I’m only 39, and already I have fishing buddies who want to call it quits before lunch.
Just something to think about.

Joseph Bayou white trout

Here are the wing dams referred to earlier. Fish them like you do the Trestles but do not neglect the rocks.

It’s also worth noting that I now have five new fishing spots for Venice. That’s because I left them whenever I found fish were there. I also have three new routes. That right there is golden, and was only possible because I didn’t turn in after catching a limit, I kept going while the conditions were good.
Long term success!
If I had stayed at those spots where I found speckled trout who knows how many I would have caught. Same for reds and especially those white trout. I could’ve sunk the boat with those!

Yeah, phones are fking stoopid. Apps are easy for companies to make as welll as add paid features to them and they are more marketable because everyone is pretty much required to have on. That’s why there are so many apps for things, not because apps and phones are so great.
Pro Tip: your life will become astronomically easier if you use a desktop computer for everything then keep a phone what it was intended for: texting and calling and, every now and then, on the go data needs.
I could not imagine making one of my YouTube videos on a phone. I’d rather shoot myself.

i’m stuck in traffic on the way home, here’s what else I learned:
trout are in the river bigger than shit, they are pale, they’ve been there a minute
pac man the rocks starting at 1st spillway
then run south and do the same at the wing dams on the west side
1/4 and 3/8 jig ultraviolet and chartreuse did good
caught a limit of reds mixed in
if you catch rat reds you are close to slot reds and specks
bayoius at 1st spillway were a dud
some trout in baptiste collette but mostly throwbacks
some reds and sheeps at rocks of south pass
afternoon bite at jump is a no go
sea swell outside of southwest pass is too much
sgallow rocks in 5ft of water at SW pass gave up a 22” trout, probably more there
if i had to fish tomorrow i’d hit the jump then go down grand, cross zin zin then pac man the river starting at 1st spillway
-
Caught a limit in The Jump for 0755
about to punch down the river
scattered fog, water temp 54, wind flat calm
will post a full report when I get home

“He actually hooked one on his own (fish was suicidal lol ). I had to reel it in. Dude is a beast with a push button. He is too small for any real pole.”
That’s pretty good at two. Just roll with that, the “real” fishing rod will come soon enough. Keep up the good work.

FedEx?! You are the unsung hero of the holiday season. We know who the real Santa is! lol

Well thank you, that’s very kind. I appreciate that.
With this cold blast coming up, maybe it could put trout in your back yard.
I don’t know how familiar you are with trolling, but it’s a great method for catching winter fish back there.

Tell your buddy to suck it up and GO TOMORROW lol
Tomorrow is going to be about perfect, I’m not sure about Sunday. It could be good. After that, the river is coming up, do not delay a minute after that.
I just got home, I’m racking out. Talk some sense into your buddy.

not bad at all, it lifts quick
