Man, I wish I saw this sooner. I was bowed up all day since Monday.
First of all, you have a great boat for sight fishing. I looked it up and that’s an absolute redfish pond machine.
After that, I’m not saying there’s no reds in that area you highlighted. But I am saying that’s not where I would look (and I have ran Dularge/Dulac extensively for redfish) if someone put a gun to my head and said I had to find redfish somewhere.
I bet there’s little to no grass in the highlighted area. You want aquatic grass. That boat you have is not a cork boat. That’s what bay boats with charter clients do. They have to wait for redfish to come to them.
You don’t. You can go to the redfish’s home, kick in the door and drag him out.
If I were you, I’d look hard at Lake Decade, Lake Paige, Eagle Lake, Lost Lake and Lake Carencro.
Get to where there’s river water (or at least the influence of it) and grass. I’ve done some really good sight fishing in all those places.
The ponds north of Lake Boudreaux are really good, too. But that’s all Apache Corps land and they can be weird about it.
You mentioned Salvador in your profile and I think that’s worth hitting, too.
I hope you did alright and had fun out there. Dulac is pretty.
Let us know how you did if you get time.
And I hope next time I can catch your planning post sooner.

That’s awesome your wife fishes with you.
And not a bad day of fishing!
Thank you so much for contributing a fishing report from the west side of the state. I’d really love to build a solid user base out there. More than a few west-side anglers have come and gone over the years.
Great report, thanks for posting!

Thank you for sharing this, Aric!

Well, I think a west wind is fine to fish in, but the wind has been blowing and that would make fishing tough regardless of direction.
Great report, thanks for posting.
I’m ready for fall!

The planets are aligning.
I think this fall is gonna be great, but there’s gonna be some needle-haystack factor.
The fish are gonna have lots of good water to be in. But if you can find ’em….

Solid effort in tough conditions.
And thank you for taking time to report back.

Man, it’s just hot. It’s that time of year.
I’m not fishing at all and instead getting ahead on content and maintenance for fall.
You did good in a tough fishery in tough conditions.
Great report, thanks for posting!

“Capt. Devin really helped encouraging me not to limit myself to only fish the areas”
Don’t worry, we will pressure you into fishing the River 😀 She’s already under 5ft and falling.
Otherwise, great work for the summer.
I’m not sure how many maintenance items you need to catch up on (wheel bearings, electrical connections, trailer lights, etc.) but consider those.
Because the fishing is only going to get better, beginning in September.
Great report, thanks for posting!

What are the winds doing up until that day?
If they are out of the west, didn’t corkscrew or blow significantly out of the east then I think your reasoning is sound.
I like your spots per the conditions, but I would add some.
The coves and point at Mosquito Bight are worth trying. That and if the wind permits, maybe the Trash Rig and other rigs.
Then I would try points/coves in the MRGO and the south side of the Rock Dam (why not).
Long Rocks can be good in a west wind, but I think you’re wise to not fish it.
And that should be enough to keep you busy.
Good luck!

Thank you for sharing this. Absolutely brilliant to know for planning to fish that area.
Also, drunks in boats. Nope.

The two coves and big point on the west side of Bay Eloi.

Dude, so pumped for you.
The turbidity meter at Belle Chasse shows the river is still kinda dirty.
BUT, that will change.
Just waiting for some decent imagery to confirm.

+1 on the robo cup!!!!

Yes, that’s after I’m done producing IF201, which is happening now.
