    No.

    Because if/when someone inevitably does something stupid in their boat it reflects on me.

    Hard pass.

    BUT.

    What I have recommended in the past is to make an incognito decal that only members like us will recognize.

    Make it a drunk shrimp. An upside down clown or a Casey Underwood trout decal. Whatever. I don’t mind.

    Furthermore: I can spend my time helping out in this forum and writing content or I can spend time designing/ordering/shipping decals.

    Believe me, I’d rather help people with planning posts and get them on biting fish over reinventing Salt Life.

    Finally, I already know everyone’s argument/suggestion. I’ve heard them all, tried them all. I’ve been doing this a long time.

    I’m not doing decals. Thank you.

    I know this isn’t what you want to hear.

    But, if I were you, I would use that time to get through that course and possess a crystal-clear understanding of how I plan fishing and execute fishing trips, especially during the fall white shrimp run.

    If you don’t, you’re gonna kick yourself in the ass.

    Triple tail are definitely still around.

    Have you looked at the wind?

    Which boat are you taking?

    Did you finish Inshore Fishing 101?

    That’s one helluva lady fish!

    Yeah, for anyone interested in learning Marsh Island/Cypremort Point, IMHO, fall is a good time to get started.

    When the Atchafalaya is low, obviously.

    Thanks for reporting!

    Thank you for removing those sail cats from the water. I wish more people did. LOL

    Also, I like reeling in the occasional bird. They’re very fluffy, very nice to hold. They don’t like it, but I do.

    The shrimp/trout collision is happening.

    Wherever those shrimp flowed from, the trout will follow.

    Excellent report, thanks for posting!

    Yeah, no one likes wind. LOL

    Well, not from the wrong direction, at least.

    Thanks for posting a report!

    What malice said is spot on. I can verify.

    Man, get that trolling motor fixed!

    Sleep when you’re dead! lol

    Those are great numbers given the water temp and tide.

    I myself am doing an egregious amount of boat maintenance, but it will be worth it in the days to come.

    I do think there’s some fish on grass, just not where you went and I haven’t found them (yet).

    That will change once the Comanche is 100%

    Great report, thanks for posting!

    It was very smart of you to get that safe route before running it in the dark.

    Yes, it sounds like you were indeed in Marquez. Check my screenshot to see for yourself.

    Next time try getting to anywhere there’s more tidal flow. You want current, that’s what those shrimp will be running in.

    The lights in Lake Pontchartrain are a good example.

    The only time I bother with Lake Catherine’s lights is when that’s what wind permits or the tide is ripping so hard in lake P that I can’t keep the boat positioned.

    You will probably find more redfish than trout, but it’s doable.

    Great report, thanks for posting.

    Thanks for coming back with a report.

    Definitely get your fuel issue worked out ASAP. Then go over everything else in the boat. If that fuel issue unexpectedly reared its head, then what else could there be?

    Hopefully it’s nothing worse than a bad fuel ball.

    I’d definitely look over your electrical system.

    Get these gremlins out now before fall fishing gets into full swing!

    “@Devin a wade kick? A WADE KICK?!?”

    Ha ha ha ha ha I knew that would trigger you lol

    “I have fully converted.”

    DISGUSTING

    lol jk, wade fishing is great! Lots of fun.

    “wade fishing sling bag from buc-ees”

    Anything with a Bucc-ee’s logo is 57% better.

    And that’s a fact.

    This is absolutely spot on.

    They tend to spook less in deeper water. The deeper the water, the less they spook. lol

    They’re also fairly easy to graph and I’m sure they don’t stand a chance against FFS. lol

    That’s interesting about your graphs.

    I’ve run two different brands side by side and never saw a discrepancy between tracks.

    I’ve got three and they all show the same thing, no discrepancy, but they are the same make/model and are networked.

    What blows my mind is that you can find them there, but then not somewhere between.

    Like, are they using a tunnel to get back inside? lol
