So I guess the tide was falling by the time you were headed back? That evening bite is probably gonna be where it’s at. I think I mentioned that in a previous report based off what I saw in EBM in the afternoon.
Great report, thanks for posting!

Kicking this up to the top given @will-grand 5/24/25 report and that Breton Sound usually turns on when the river is falling and the area greens up.

Wow, I love Breton Sound. It’s a great time out there. It really turns on when the river goes down. Lots of good memories out there.
What’s interesting about the new 20″ slot is that people are going to be throwing back a lot of trout over 20″ which, in my opinion, is a great thing to have happen for our fishery. Many trips I’ve had out there we did not catch a lot of trout under 20″.
Great report, thanks for posting!

Still a good share, though. I appreciate you taking time to think of the Community and post content here.

I don’t trust that wave function at all.
It’s showing waves in the lee of land and waves in Breton Sound as not being much bigger. Yeah, okay.
I’d love to take the app nerd who thought of this, strap him to the bow of a boat and announce the wave appreciation training we’ll do all day long.

You’re dead on.
That side of the lake has been clean for a minute now. It’s the easiest sonar fishing one can do.

“I’m no Elmers expert by any means but I get the feeling things are going to pop off any day now.”
Yeah, I need to get down there again. It’s always a good time. I love that no boat is required.

“I am a better fisherman when I put my exploring hat on and try new stuff.”
It’s so easy to get sucked into what you already know. Try having a day where you leave the fishing rods at home and just explore routes.
Consider that several experienced captains from SeaTow were freaked out to go into Pointe a la Hache for a rescue, but I was perfectly fine with my umpteen routes that I had throughout the area. One of them pointed out that I got stuck there (the last time they saved me lol), but that was once five years ago.
That is correct, so what do you think I’ve been doing for those five years? Going back to the Long Rocks? No.
When the river gets low those places down there in American Bay, California Point, nearby rigs, maybe old Sable Island, maybe old Hog Island, Battledore, and many other places turn on with hammer trout and none of those retards at the Long Rocks know how to get there and — if they try — one of those many wonderful sandbars will keep their room-temp-IQ-asses away. As will all the extra land not reflected in their dumbass mapping cards.
It’s not like I don’t write detailed articles about this kinda stuff.
You hit those places (that cove, Long Rocks, etc.) already and caught fish there. Maybe there’s not much juice left to squeeze, and that leads to frustration. But if you change the goal to something more manageable (i.e. not ripping off your lower unit) and come back with a proven safe route and additional knowledge/experience, then you’ll have something to show for your effort.
Thought experiment: even if you did have space to slide into at the Long Rocks (or wherever) and you whacked the daylights out of the trout, what did you actually learn? Something you already know?
Another place I’d be happy to run routes and get back with my ass is Venice. I’d be happy to learn how to navigate the area and not cast a single line. That’s where your stupid-hammer trout are going to be. Not the MRGO.
You’ve demonstrated too much talent to re-invent the wheel.

“you can see them on the horizon as you enter Lake Borgne”
Bingo.
-
I’d rather die cold and alone but have a shot at topwater trout. Good decision, @McLovin

You are on the bleeding edge of anti-dolphin tech.
That could be a product. Something like a Hydrowave, but instead of masking trolling motor noise it just scares off dolphins.
-
Ha ha ha ha ha! From the moment they posted it my phone was blowing up and I got to hear all about it. LOL
-
That is wild, especially seeing that the pass is only ~1.7 miles long. I believe it though. Being miles away from the pass you could still see/feel the current ripping out of it.

I was just going to mention that you can do an afternoon trip.
