Welcome to the forum and thank you for the kind words!
Yeah, it don’t think you’ll be fishing in the river for speckled trout in April, but you can still fish the outside edges and come away with some pretty good catching.
Blind Bay and East Bay are good starting points.
I think you’re good and should hold what you got.
IIRC, there are some good spring fishing reports out of Venice from last year. It’s worth looking.

How has it been hanging? Been fishing at all?
-
Any luck fishing? How has it been?

Seriously though, I’d love to have seen that on sonar. Great report, thanks for posting!

That’s a great video Taz got for you. Hey what’s that thing floating in the water

“And any thoughts on time of day that is best to go please let me know.”
Fish all day if you can. Sometimes they bite first thing in the morning and that’s it, sometimes it seems like they need to warm up and bite in the afternoon.
With redfish, when they are shallow, you only need to jump them to know they are there. If they are deep, then you will see them on the graph and know that they are there, even if they’re not biting.
I’d rather spend TOW learning where they are and have a few spots no one else is at in my back pocket than catch a limit doing what ultimately amounts to shooting fish in a barrel in a community hole.
One is difficult to achieve but rewarding, the other one is neither.

“Is it really as easy as just going over to the Ycloskey Bridge and throwing some dead shrimp on a jig head off the bank?”
Yes.
“if anyone has tips beyond what I just stated?”
Go in a boat and find the same thing in the marsh.
“launch at Fishermens friend and literally float right in that area in front of it and cast down with dead shrimp.”
That’s The Pen. It’s a community hole and has been making a comeback, though it’s still a shadow of its former self.
It absolutely can be on and, if it is, the rest of Chalmette, NOLA East, Arabi, Slidell, and Violet will be there, too.
Advice from someone who’s BTDT and made a living from it: break out GED, do your homework and find your own Jubilee somewhere else. This is the time to do that. You can absolutely lay the smackdown on some fish somewhere no one else is fishing.
Or you can roll the dice slugging it out with the rest of the Flotilla. Then next year under the same conditions you’ll be back here at the drawing board asking us what to do.
It’s your call.
If it were me, I’d rather learn where they ain’t.

What Boyce said.
And THAT was the report I was thinking of! Epic!!
-
Provided the wind is playing nicely, yes you absolutely can.
Even if the wind is blowing out of the north, you have some pretty good protection via the levees and flood walls.
That boat sure would be a banger for trolling. Good luck!
-
Thats it. I’ve def seen that before. Everyone take note!
-
Gotta love a blown out Louisiana prop
-
Maybe Michoud will produce as well.
Good luck!!

Thank you for letting us know.
