Yeah, it looks like you did the same thing I did and just had to go. And it looks like the same result. Predictable with the crap water temperature.
Last year I shot a video on November 8th fishing the Biloxi Marsh, and I caught 18 trout, but worked for them all day.
In years past if I only caught 18 trout in otherwise decent conditions in November I would have gone home ashamed. lol
What we have going for us now over last year is that the river is lower and it looks like she is gonna stay down.
I did have a good day at Seabrook with warmer water temps last year, during October IIRC, where I caught 15 by myself and left them biting. But there were a lot of boats there. That bite didn’t go unpressured at all.
If/when conditions allow, I’d look for trout on the outside. I’d fish that reef by Half Moon Island in Mississippi Sound, as well as that rig outside L&N, maybe even L&N itself.
I’d definitely try Breton Island, the break in the Long Rocks, the rigs between both those spots. Or maybe just wait for it to cool off. lol
Either way, I feel your grind, it does not go unappreciated. Thank you for posting a report!

Man, what a gorgeous fish. I sure do love Florida. So much diversity in fishing down there.
Great report, thanks for posting!

oh my gawd lolololololol

Hey Walter, it’s great to have you here! As you can see, there’s a wealth of information here and many talented anglers.
LAFB Elite will give back what you put into it, especially this community. Leveraging planning posts is key, it can help you figure out info you need the easy way, rather than the hard way.
The best thing you can do first is knock out Inshore Fishing 101 so you’re speaking the same language as the rest of us, then make those planning posts. The fishing is about to get really good, just as soon as it cools off.
Thanks for posting an intro!

The locations you mentioned are great, but don’t forget that big pond off Chef Pass, and the grass on the shoreline between Hwy 11 and Trestles on the south shore.

Great job on those redfish! Since you did good there, maybe combat launching off the side of Delacroix Highway to fish the water around Lake Lery could be good.
“I saw a sunken boat at the dock”
That is standard Louisiana. Everything is derelict and falling into the ocean. Nothing is tidy. Ever.
Otherwise, great report, thanks for posting!

“By 8am, that was the last bird activity we saw the whole day, and the only shrimp we saw the whole day.”
That also alarms me: just not that many reports of shrimp running. It is warm, however. After this upcoming front, maybe that will change.
“The guides back at the ramp all targeted redfish. The scuttlebutt from the boat ramp and fish cleaning table was that trout fishing just hasn’t been good.”
That’s exactly what I’ve been hearing from everyone else.
Either way, great report and thanks for posting!!

“even if the trout were on the other side of a wildfire , he’s still down”
Because @WestbankJosh is a legit pipehitter. That’s what’s up.
“Water running down your ass crack type rain”
Yeah, I felt that. lol
“gives me confidence they do “exist””
Yeah, that’s it. It feels better getting that confidence. I really enjoy these “aha!” moments more so than catching/eating fish. I think this is the general attitude of most of the LAFB Elite crowd.
“But it was one hell of an adventure to say the least.”
Dude, I felt that in my bones. That’s just how Venice is. What a place.
Thank you for going down there and posting a report to let us know. I’m glad you tried that beach, because it’s clear that the trout are not on their fall pattern (water temp too warm and recent reports) so they must be on their summer pattern, right? But if they’re not at that beach, then where the hell are they? I’d try Breton Island next.
Great report, thanks for posting!

“Still a shade early, but couldn’t help myself.”
I feel you. Literally just waiting on that cold front.
“I’ve put a frickton of time thinking about what I could have done better.”
Wait until a cold front hits. If the water was ten degrees cooler you would’ve crushed them. Otherwise, it’s out of your control.
The only other thing you could’ve done is either Plan Redfish or fish the summer pattern for trout.
But it looks like we are getting a cold front on the 9th, so I am pumped for that. Let it cool off, and run this trip again and you will be posting a different report.
Otherwise, great report, thanks for posting!

lol I guess just screw the Army and Air Force. lol
Man, Venice sure is purdy. Thanks for uploading the pictures. I am living vicariously through you guys now.
The Southpark pic is spot on lol

One time I fished a redfish tournament off the East Pearl boat ramp and we ran all the way to Pointe a la Hache. Had to stop to refuel on the way back. Very common to make long runs.

Last year’s October absolutely pissed me off. It was so lackluster and limp-wristed. Like…no. Just don’t do that ever again and it’s doing it again this month.
I saw the strong NE wind forecast and assumed it was a cold front. A perfectly safe and reasonable assumption given the time of year: we should have had a couple by now.
But no. It’s just a stupid low. And another low pointed right at us.
What
The
F&$%!!!!
-
Yeah, you’re welcome.
Something else to consider is that water levels are probably gonna get really low with this front, and that is going to make fishing redfish a lot easier. So keep that in mind.

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha yes indeed!!
And totally worth it!
