Yeah, take it from me: be careful with letting the genie out the bottle. Once it’s out…well, then people in public know who you are (and you don’t know them), they’re knocking on your door, hopping in your boat at the launch, and everywhere you go you are under surveillance or have to assume you are.
Anonymity is a privilege and once it’s gone it is very difficult to get back.
After that, Resolve is the shit. Best bangest for your buck video editing software there is. Shooting video and editing is a lot of fun. I’d rather have the shot than catch the fish, if that makes sense, because you then you have that clip forever.

Not a bad day at all! Sorry to hear the Rock Dam didn’t produce, it’d be great if somewhere besides the Long Rocks was giving up fish.
Great report, thank you for posting!

Good job not giving up.
Yeah, when the wind is blowing that hard, there’s just no way wave height is going to be under 1ft in open water. Ain’t no way. Not sure what’s wonky at Windfinder. I’d definitely take that wave prediction with a grain of salt.
Either way, great way to keep going and find some fish anyway.
Excellent report, thank you for posting! Glad you got to catch some this weekend!

You can hit ten in a row with no results, then find them on the 11th one. Sonar helps a lot. If it looks like a naked piling, then it’s a naked piling. Same for the rigs, but there’s more clutter around the rigs making it harder to see what’s there.
Otherwise, great report! That’s a lot of dedication. Much respect for that.
After that, I really like fishing the Treasure Isle lights when the tide is falling good. They’re probably on right now with trout and reds.

I do not, but I’ll bump this to the top for you.
Good luck!

I know you’re out there doing good things right now. Tomorrow if you get time, be sure to give us a good report, if you’d be so kind. Please make a separate post from this one so it shows up in the feed.
Thank you so much!

Yeah, there’s definitely not as many redfish there, but it’s close and fun to fish. Twelve sounds about right.
“At least I successfully explored new-to-me territory and got a couple spots that I’ll try again with better conditions.”
THAT is the juice. Long term success. That’s how you’re going to catch them over the long run. So many people overlook this. Buildings are built one brick at a time.
Great report, thanks for posting!

While in Ireland I had a Greek man describe to me that in the EU you need to have a permit to operate any outboard larger than 25hp. I laughed. The other American laughed. All the bay boats in Louisiana laughed.

Man, I love Louisiana.
I got to see culture shock working at the swamp tour, and loved it. Or talking to Euros overseas. “Yeah, I like this Glock/AR. I’ve got one just like it at home.”

Man, just saw this.
Yeah, I’m looking out the window now and it looks overcast. Sometimes I’ll blind cast, but more often than not I just slow or stick & pick once I see a few.
I just blind cast the same lure I sight fish with: a Texas rigged Baby Paca Craw in whatever color. Blades are more easily detected by redfish, but usually wherever I am fishing its grassy, so I just stick with the weedless option.
