“but I did come across what I thought was bait balls.”
That’s a good start.
“I started casting down the bridge to farther pilings is when I started catching.”
That’s when you want to look at your graph.
“I think I did ok for my first time fishing the Trestles and I really enjoyed it.”
I have to agree.Great report, thanks for posting!

This is music to my ears! Thank you so much for sharing this with us.
I am very glad to hear Lake Pontchartrain has come around. I was worried there for a bit. This is the way it is supposed to be.
Great report, thanks for posting!

Another banger! F*ck yeah!
I love fishing sloppy conditions. It keeps the water clean of other boats and the fish love it, too.
I’m really happy you’ve had a blast for your long trip down there. Good things.
Great report, thanks for posting!

Gentlemen, this is what happens when you take your time to learn and apply yourself: you smash limits in demanding conditions.
Boyce (and a handful of others) have taken the time to apply themselves, go forth and kick ass.
I know who’s who. I can see who goes straight for my tracks and fishing spots in the Fishing Trip Reviews (and completely avoid IF101) and who’s taking this seriously. Trust me: I know and I take notes.
It doesn’t matter if you’re finding fish in a new area, building a business from scratch or putting rounds down-range in far away places: it is the same mentality.
LAFB Elite will probably go to an invite-only model. No guarantees, but I do love the idea. Only pipe hitters and anglers who put out, who will benefit from birds of a similar feather. I am so tired of hand-holding quitters and sneaky lurkers (who are never going to give back anything positive).
Boyce ain’t in here asking for someone’s fishing spots, complaining Venice is too far away or being whiney about how the weather man is always wrong, or whatever. He’s just doing the thing.
And I love it!

“As we were idling out of our houseboat, a couple of neighbors told us we were crazy for going out with the weather looking like that. Clearly NOT LAFB material.”
Gotta go to know. No matter what.
“I think it’s safe to say the Jump is Jumping.”
Venice just does not let me down. If one doesn’t catch fish down there, it’s only because they got unlucky and didn’t find ’em.
You are the man! Great report, thanks for posting.

This man cannot be stopped!
You’re doing the dang thang!
Hopefully the weather plays nice and you can check out other spots.

My apologies for not seeing this earlier. I’m sure you did good things on the water that day.
-
I’m guessing those winds were out of the N or NW?
3/4oz sure is heavy. But if it works…
Great report, thanks for posting!

I’m surprised no one else here chimed in. Louisiana folks love food. lol
I’m not one for cooking. I’m happy eating boiled eggs and plain sandwiches. LOL
But I do appreciate posts like these. Good stuff for the forum. Thank you.

Geremy, you have been on a kill streak down there in Venice. I’m so stoked to see this. Even with the bad weather you pulled it off.
Excellent work, and thanks for letting us know what’s up down there.

Good to hear the lake producing. It absolutely should be. But I really like that the bite is a wee more technical.
That bridge is a dojo.
Great report, thanks for posting!

I personally hate music while fishing. I can’t hear what’s going off if there’s music.

“the water was heading in which had me puzzled”
Sounds like something significant happened in the day(s) before your trip.
“Dress warmer for 50F than what I did”
Absolutely. It’s not like you’re humping a ruck. You don’t have to carry everything you pack. That’s what the boat is for. It’s better to have and not need than need and not have. Besides, you have a dry bag of spare clothes (to include a jacket), yes?
I’m not home and am limited on time, otherwise I would look up the conditions myself, but it sounds like a front came through. The south side of the Dam is an example of a place that would be protected from that wind and cold, and offers deep water for fish. Other deep holes I would target as well.
Either way, you didn’t get skunked.
Great report, thanks for posting!

Man, I hope I’m still doing the thang when I am 80! Good on your dad!
It sounds like an excruciating grind was possible on that flat. I’d def fish it with an 1/8oz jighead.
Thanks for posting!

It is 1,000% there on GED, bud. I wouldn’t start my fishing trip at obvious spots without having a slew of other non-obvious spots. The mindset here is to find fishing spots based upon the conditions.
Use the process. Make a planning post. Put in TOW. Keep fishing reports. Rinse and repeat and you’ll be where these guys are. I promise.
Good luck!
