Dude, that’s a great haul of fish. Way to come out of nowhere with a great Venice report.
Thanks for posting!
-
I’m guessing most of the trout have shoved out of the lake by now. I’ve always managed to find a few after early spring, but no crazy concentrations.

That’s a very encouraging report for Biloxi Marsh. I was giving up on the area.
Yeah, I guess that the trout got out of the river once it got in the 40s and pushed into the marsh. I don’t know. I wasn’t fishing then, but what they do when the river is still low but cold is something I’d love to learn more about.
Great report, thanks for posting!
-
Hell yeah! Glad to see you built off that previous trip we went on.
Great report, thanks for posting it!

Man, Frank beat me to it.
For sure there has to be some ponds in the Baton Rouge area you can fish with a spinnerbait on a Zebco.
-
Man, that you stayed there and fished right after the cold front is LEGIT. AND you caught fish.
You must drive two trucks, one for yourself and the other for your balls.
You have my respect and admiration, sir.

This is the second post about this in the last 30 days. I’m sorry to hear that.
The owner has become old and I don’t know how well he keeps up with Standard Map these days.
I wouldn’t rely on those cards anyway. I’d stick with GED homework like what I teach inside 101.

I mentioned Zebco because it casts easy for kids. That’s all. No, they are not that durable, but take care of them and they will take care of you.
I would get them started fishing Baton Rouge ponds for bass first thing in the morning or as the sun is setting. If it’s overcast, fish that, too.
You can go during broad daylight, but it’ll get hot and uncomfortable quicker. If it’s hot and miserable for you, then it probably is for the fish, too. That’s just a generalization.
I wouldn’t rake your kids over the coals trying to get after inshore fish, go for easy wins close to home first.

Giant +1 on this. I’m glad you brought this up, Frank. Thank you.
Additionally, Daiwa carries a “regular” action and I’m 99% sure they are the only manufacturer that does. It’s like a slower fast action, but not quite moderate fast.
-
All good points, but I’d like to point out that 99% of the time, when I am fishing, I am not relying on the rod for sensitivity. On a baitcaster, the line runs over my finger. I’ll feel it there before the rod does then (where I watch the line intersect the water’s surface) when the line jumps from a bite I’ll see it a split second before I feel it.
Having worked in the manufacturer-rep/prostaff space, the whole “rod sensitivity” thing is really just a marketing gimmick to get people to buy stuff. A manu-rep will tell any poor soul anything to get units moved.
That’s why here at LAFB I focus on what really matters: the knowledge and skills.

Giant +1
Also a little shocked that you and Josh just completely trusted me to run that thing in the dark like that. LOL
People usually die from anxiety like that. LOL

Boyce beat me to it again. lol
Yeah, you can throw topwater on something like that. Just stay within the lure rating.
You could also use it for throwing a larger jighead (like 1oz) on a longer cast. The extra length helps take up the slack. Use cases include, but are not limited to: throwing a jig at The Jump (Venice), Seabrook, Central Rig (Breton Sound) and any other place that sets up the same.
For all-around topwater use (especially larger topwater that’s nearly an ounce or more) you want something a wee bit longer and heavier. I use a 7’3″ MH regular for big topwater.
However, honestly, in those locations I’m going to throw an HDS on a spinning combo.

Hey, I’d rather be lucky than good, if it means catching fish.
