“In all saw 28 reds throughout the whole day.”
That’s not bad. That’s pretty good given what we’ve seen in the last few years. Great job.
“All in all I’d mark this a success of a trip.”
Yeah, me too!
“I will say bowfishing must be having a major impact on the redfish.”
It definitely has and it needs to go away. It’s horrible.
Great report, thanks for posting!

It sounds like the rain and storms F’d you and that’s all there is to it. That can make for an unnecessary long day/struggle on the water. Man, I get it. Completely understand.
Good job trying anyway. Great report, thanks for posting it!

How heavy were your jigheads and drop shot?
Next time you should try the artificial reef at the top of Lake Borgne. Guide here with coordinates.
Otherwise, great report, thanks for posting! It seems there are still some fish left in Lake Borgne.

I think that if you re-cocked the drift, you would have limited out.
But I get that it’s hot, and 11 fish is still a lot of eating.
Great report, thanks for posting!

Glad to hear y’all had a good one. Way to make it happen.
Great report, thanks for posting!

Excellent report, thanks for posting! Beating the heat is tough this time of year.

Thanks for the heads up on the logs. Striking one of those at speed would be absolutely awful.
“Left from that area and headed towards the Hashtag and Compressor rig and to my surprise they were both in the process of being removed!”
That is a bummer.
But there is a rig out there that fell over during Katrina and I wonder if they removed that one, too?
Man, those rigs are really good for fishing, they shouldn’t be removed. Things that stick out of the water just tend to be better for fishing, I don’t know why. They just are. So I’m bummed out to hear they’ve been removed. That really sucks.
“I scanned around the general area of the Dope Boat but couldn’t find it.”
I wonder where it’s at and how it’s situated now. Or is it completely flat on the bottom now? Who knows.
BTW, thanks for updating that other post. The quest for the Dope Boat continues.
“Father-in-law wanted to fish Deadman island so we went over to it and he was able to pull off two keepers there.”
There can’t be much left to that island, huh?
“At Comfort island there were birds diving and shrimp jumping but a lot of throwbacks.”
That makes me wonder if keepers were biting first thing in the morning.
Great report, thanks for posting!

Hearing that they’re at Curlew acting right sound about right and makes me happy to see a good report. Man, is that a haul.
Did you know that a guy from Texas used to live out there? Rudy Grigar was his name. His fishing reports are epic. He was operating out there in the 1960s IIRC. He published his story in a book titled “Plugger”. Makes you really sad when you see how much the fishing has declined since then. I do think it can come back.
“They were most interested in the chrome rattle trap.”
I’m guessing you were chunking and winding it?
“Gosh it was a battle with him but I finally ran a Gulp shrimp into his face and he smoked it.”
It’s rewarding though, huh?
Great report, thanks for posting!

“got the feeling from my friend it was a great day for him(which he mentioned several times)”
That’s good. I’m sure he was excited to prove his boat and get that shakedown done. Sounds like an otherwise good day.
Now I’m wondering if the summer trout bite in Lake Borgne has thinned out or if the fish have moved on to bigger water.
Great report, thanks for posting!

As for the sonar, I guess that’s your bow unit and you were spotlocked or moving really slow to get the fish to look that tall and dense. I’d say that’s a trout. I feel more confident seeing them on sidescan, especially when there’s a bunch of them. lol

Yes. lol

I am so tired of scratching my head at this riddle.
It’s not an unseen thing to encounter otherwise perfect conditions and then find no fish, but it seems to me more common than before. Of course, that’s just anecdotal.
It’s hard to get a good sight picture on what the fish are doing right now. Are they on the edge of river water or doing something else?

Well, I have my heart set on a Blazer 2400, but we’ll see. Oddly enough, I’m in no rush. Not fishing has been great for LAFB because I’m able to get more done because, well, I’m not fishing. It can be such a time suck.
I have terabytes upon terabytes of media to make all the content I want. For the first time in years, content is actually made and scheduled out ahead of time. That is such a relief, and I’d rather have that relief than catch 15 trout in a spot where I already know they’re at. lol
So, I have time. There’s no rush.

The search continues! Thank you for the heads up!
