Well, if your heart is set on fishing Lake Borgne, then the next time the wind lays down I’d look hard at fishing the north and east quadrants of the lake, specifically the rigs and reefs in those areas. They just tend to do better, usually starting next month through June, sometimes July.

“The Biloxi Marsh.”
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
The evil part of me would’ve let them. lol
Very smart of them to take you up on the counter-offer, however. It seems most guys just dig their heels in because they already know it all. lol Sure.
“live shrimp….catfish, and 4 sting rays.”
I cannot preach enough about this.
“We had 26 keeper trout”
Not bad at all and definitely better than what Biloxi Marsh would’ve delivered: dead empty water.
Great report!!
-
“Firstly, I am in search of trout for the easter fish fry.”
If all you have to do is feed people fried fish, then why not whack the daylights out of the sail cats? They ought to be piled up behind the Rock Dam right about now. lol

“starting seeing redfish pop up to the top”
I’m guessing you saw them tailing? Did you actually see the redfish at all?
I bring this up because in the past gar have fooled me. Gar will tail, too.
” Is it possible that’s what I saw jumping out the water?”
Probably not. The can jump when being chased, but a shrimp jump is so distinct from anything else that I am certain that if you thought you saw shrimp, then you saw shrimp.
Both these bait types can certainly co-locate.

Excellent report. Glad y’all caught some fish.
I’m looking forward to y’all getting down to Delacroix and trying your skill there.
Good luck!

Not bad at all after a hiatus!
Great report, thanks for posting!
-
F Lake Pontchartrain and go back to where you caught your last PB in Venice. Grind that spot out over and over and over. They are there. They have to be.
-
Do you have a report? Sorry I didn’t see this when you posted it. What @Jason_B said is spot on. That’s kinda out there. Not that fish can’t be out there, but you’d drive past a bunch on your way there.
If I were you, I’d focus on Delacroix and get a win under your belt.

Man, with that wind, Saturday is gonna suck. lol
But I do think it’s doable if you can find a good shoreline in the lee of the land.
I’m guessing you’re going in a boat and not the yak?
Pointe Fienne, Wreck Bay, Four Horse, Baker Bay, Adema Pond, the top of Bay Lafourche and Bay Jack are all doable and somewhat protected or just outright protected.
Take Terre aux Beouf and the Twin Pipeline down. I’d not cross the Garigue unless you love getting your ass kicked.

Def go tomorrow if you can. The wind will be so much better. I’m rooting for you!

“f’ work and f’ my paycheck, I am going tomorrow and then I wont have to deal with the wind.”
I SECOND THIS! HEAR! HEAR! lol
-
Good.
For one, that’s how it’s supposed to be. These are slot trout for crying out loud, not bass in Lake Conroe on day three of the Classic.
I’d like to see this same action spread to the surrounding areas. I would love to see Biloxi Marsh make a come back.
-
Yeah, I enjoy that feeling, too!

“I can’t remember hearing so many reports from so many different people of boat loads of trout coming out of there.”
Surely you cannot mean last year and the year before that and the year before that and the year before that and the year before that and the year before that and the year before that and the year before that and the year before that.
It’s very typical for Delacroix to produce this well during spring. I do think it was late getting started because the river was low, but now I am guessing that those PLH fish got pushed north when the river hit 8.5ft.
I’m not saying other areas don’t produce at all, but I am saying that since at least 2009, I’ve seen Shell Beach guides run south and have never, not once, seen a Delacroix guide go north to Shell Beach/Biloxi Marsh/etc.
Sometimes the fish just pile into an area and that’s all there is to it. Finding them elsewhere can be a struggle. I personally hate it when that happens because the only thing you can do is join the circus.

“he’s also previously sunken a dual rig pro-drive”
Oh that’s all we need to know.
Nothing to see here, folks. Just another guy with more money than sense. Everybody move along. lol
