Welcome to the Community, and thank you for posting an intro!
Check out this planning post here, there’s lots of good info there that will aid your upcoming fishing trip.
I cannot stress it enough: the key to making the most of your membership is to:
1. Knock out IF101 so you have the same knowledge and speak the same language as the rest of us
2. Use this community to get help planning your next fishing trip. Not doing the work for you, but providing us with an obviously thoughtful plan we can provide feedback for.
3. Rinse and repeat.

“The water was high as predicted”
Yeah, redfish spread out when that happens. There’s literally more real estate they can be in and that can make it tougher to find them. You gotta punch further back into ponds. The upside to high water is that it puts more water over the top of aquatic grass, making it easier to fish.
“combat launched in a new spot for me in Port Sulphur”
Hell yeah!
“Ended up catching 7 slot reds in those spots”
That’s pretty badass, even moreso considering that you’re throwing a fly. That’s legit. Give yourself a pat on the back. That’s BDE, man.
Great report, thanks for posting!

I may still be in town then, don’t know yet. I do have my kids that weekend, but maybe I can work something out with momma.

I’ve thrown the SB125 and SB150. The 150 is a monster, but it works.
Just curious, why did you get out of hunting? I’ve always wanted to get into it, but found it easier to focus on fewer things than more things. So I just stuck with fishing and that has worked, especially seeing the best fishing is the same time most hunting is open.

What Shooter said is spot on, also check out this guide to fishing dock lights.

I don’t have the answer to that question, but I bet Boat Stuf Slidell does.

You’re moving houses?
I don’t envy that. I hate moving. Especially heavy/bulky furniture.

Most excellent.
Also, some of those tracks are from 2016, so take them with a giant grain of salt. IIRC, I put the month/year in the track names.

Oh, I’m chuckling over here. lol

Well, I think you guys should go immediately. Begin looking now.
Funny thing: I just consigned the Tracker at Boat Stuf. I got the motor and trailer overhauled and everything runs great on her, so the time to sell is now. For the past couple years I’ve meant to do that but get sucked in by the fall season, so now I’m just ripping the bandaid off.
I know the timing could be better, but it is what it is.
That and I have non-fishing pokers in the fire. First, I’m re-enlisting in the Marine Corps Reserves and will have to go to schools that I missed out on when I was active duty. These schools are very demanding ball kickers, physically speaking. So I have been in the gym and pool killing myself repeatedly and shooting until my hands bleed. lol I’m headed to the gym as soon as I’m done sifting through the latest posts.
And I’ve had a great opportunity fall in my lap that could take me out of town for the entire fall/winter season (I know….shoot me now), but it’s a really good employment opportunity that I’d be incredibly foolhardy to not take advantage of. It will help me get into that bay boat. But I also have to prep for that and have been spending lots of time with the family.
I’m also suffering from a delusion that if I don’t go fishing, I could maybe not catch the bug and not go friggin’ crazy. But feeling the cool air this morning, seeing the river clean up in sat imagery, etc. is driving me there already. lol
So, I don’t have the Tracker, but if I get time, I could hop in with one of you guys if that’s cool.

+1 on this
Also, consider throwing a Corky Fat Boy.
