“I do not have a drift sock so I’ll have to troll.”
Go get one with a nice tripping line. Gus at Gus’s Tackle made me a nice one.
Or stick and pick with a shallow water anchor. With that said, to catch my fish, I only needed to anchor in one spot. You can pretty much put the boat on the bank and cast out into deeper water. Basically what I did.
“Plan is to launch from Sweetwater at 06:00 AM Monday 3/9, cross Petit Lake to the Pencil canal, and take that all the way down to Oak River, then enter Wreck bay from there.”
Solid route. You’re cleared hot.
What is that hazard H#1?
There are shells on the bottom of the bayou P#9 sits on. Last year I fished them, fished the point and the cove just opposite of it. Didn’t catch anything, but I think it’s one of those spots you return to over time until the fish load up on it.
All that “outside” stuff with the little islands (Battleground Bay, etc.) could be premature. I did fish islands in Grand Point Bay and didn’t see bait or catch fish. I do think it’s worth exploring, however.
Otherwise, great plan. Looks a lot like what I and others here have fished, with some small tweaks. You stand to stomp on them pretty good, just don’t get discouraged if the first few spots don’t give it up.
Good luck!

That’s awesome. Did y’all cork them? Any birds? Jumping shrimp?
Did you see anything of note on sonar?
FYI, I created this as a separate report so it has more visibility, shows up in search, etc.
Thank you for posting it.

I’d also like to point out that this is a shining example of how to use this Community to get on some fish. This is what a fishing report forum is supposed to do.
Goodness gracious, has Facebook missed the mark on this.
Excellent work, guys. There’s more to come. These fish have tails, they are gonna move and y’all will have fun exploring West Delta, East Bay, Breton Sound and more. Very envious.

Yeah, I had a slip in Shell Beach for a couple years. It sure did make coming and going a lot easier. Not to mention avoiding the hassle of trailering. Maybe one day I’ll go back to one, but for now I enjoy fishing so many different locations that trailering is just optimal.

There are so many and so negotiable because it’s Louisiana, and Louisiana has a lot of boats. Especially those older aluminum boats that were built to survive another Younger Dryas. People die, or get out of fishing, or move to another state, or get sick and can’t fish anymore, or any number of reasons why they no longer need it.

And here are some fall/winter catches with that boat and pics of it. All the same fishing I did this month (and I would do just about anywhere during fall/winter/spring) this boat has done, especially with a four stroke.

I’d find some beat up Al-Weld or Tracker on Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist. Something like this one for $4,000.
It won’t be no Pathfinder TRS, but you really don’t need a Pathfinder TRS.
This boat is a simulacrum of the flatboat I have now. Mine is a little wider and has 30 more horses, but it used to have a 50hp 2-stroke and it did great.

Looks like they drilled there?
Interesting, I’ll have to graph that.
Thank you for the clarification.

I think you’ll stay on the fish doing that.

Great boat.

Elite Gang doing the dang thing. That’s what I’m talking about.
Then lie your ass off to anyone who asks.
“Why yes, we enjoyed the bite in….uhm…Lake of Two Trees. Yeah, we went there. Good luck.”
Just go back and whale on the trout for us. Thank you.

FCK YEAH!!!

ha ha ha ha ha ha I do the same thing.
Not to be a dick, but c’mon.
Like, do people know what they’re asking? I guess they don’t. I’m sure it’s innocent. But man, just put in the time and effort. It’s worth it.

I was totally kidding. Couldn’t resist.
