Man, that’s tough that the tide wasn’t ripping out at first light. I think it would’ve been a different day had that been the case.
Either way, thanks for giving back with a report.
Better luck next time.

A Strike King Rage Shad could do wonders in that grass. It reminds me of Lake Lery before the dredge project.

I know @McLovin was out there a little while ago, but I’m pretty sure he fished further south and didn’t hit this grass mat?

Okay, so how many spots total did you fish?

Sounds like the wind blew harder than what was predicted.
Good job giving it a try anyway and thank you reporting back.
Some items that might help you in the future:
When you are planning your trip (and especially when you make a planning post) be sure to include a screenshot of the NOAA Forecast and Windfinder. That way I can look at it on the spot and make a judgment call based on my experience and then give that to you.
I know I could look it up myself, but the thing is that I help out in this forum out of my own goodwill. I cannot drop everything I’m doing, boot up more tabs and do the base thinking for you. If I did that, my opportunity to write and generate more content would be seriously hindered and make my output that much lower.
I really do care about you guys and y’all getting on the fish. So if I could see the wind forecast beyond the text you provided, I may have seen that it would have been one of those days where the wind picks up and advised that.
Next, if the wind does pick up out of the west like that, the Long Rocks are still a good place to go because it is protected from such a wind. Even if the water immediately appears to be dirty, there may be a clean rip up against the rocks.
I prefer a west or southwest wind when fishing there because it blows the boat away from the rocks.
The same thing goes for the MRGO between the Rock Dam and Long Rocks. That spoil on the SW side will shelter you from wind, and will shelter that water from it. Because it’s a harder bottom and has that deep water right there, it tends to stay cleaner.
It won’t be crawling with trout, but it is a place you can put together ~20 or so, not to mention redfish.
Of course, the south side of the Rock Dam is always worth a stop, but it can be hit or miss.
Better luck next time!

Thank you so much for sharing this!

“then my buddy oversleeps”
Flog him.
Repeatedly.
Yeah, some days you’re the hammer, other days you’re the nail. It’s that time of year and when it gets hot and the tide doesn’t move, that’s a wrap.
Thank you for taking time to post a report, I appreciate that.

Excellent summer redfish report. You guys did great!
Thank you for posting!

You’re the man! Plan Bass is in effect!
Great report, way to beat the heat, thanks for posting!

Okay. not bad.
Based off what I’ve seen out there on the water and in fishing reports, it seems to me that the bigger trout are out there, they’re just a needle in a haystack of throwbacks and gafftops.
That’s why I would just get closer to the river, but I understand that’s a drive/run a lot of folks don’t want to make.
Either way, better luck next time.
Thanks for posting a report!

Thank you, though! I greatly appreciate the offer!!

I don’t need any fabricating, it’s all electrical, mechanical, etc.

Any size to them or all ditch pickles?

You’re either trolling me or you really do need help lol
This is covered inside IF201 somewhere, but this link I readily recall off the top of my head.
