Be careful in Lake Eloi, there’s a bad mamma jamma underwater hazard there.
I posted it somewhere in this forum when I first opened it.

No, but I am making a video for it. We’ve got a year IIRC.
-
Sounds like you had a great time.
Excellent report, thank you for posting it!
-
Redfish and bass.
You can totally smash the redfish, but you will have to find them.
Also, Lake Eloi and Bay Eloi are doable in this west wind.

Dude, not bad at all. Plus, when you go back, you’re on the beach with tons of places to go, things to do.
I love launching out of Pass Christian. It’s nice. Wide ramp. It’s free. Easy parking. No one yells at me. lol
Great report, thanks for posting! Those are some nice trout!

“That and I now have new routes in my graph. A win.”
Dude, this is the long-term mindset.
I’m going through 15+ years of GPS tracks and the only reason I have those is because I tried in the first place and took it slow to just get the tracks to begin with.
Totally worth it.
Otherwise, the fishing is tough when it gets this hot.
Great report, and those tracks are gonna pay off this fall.

“First time there. Hyacinth everywhere. Freshwater canals.”
It’s a different world there. Much different from the east side of the river (Hopedale, Lake P, Shell Beach).
I guided swamp tours out of Westwego and it’s an amazing place. Love it.
“On the backside of the mat, I could see areas of clean, open water with little to no grass. The problem was figuring out how to get back there.”
The way I’ve done this before is to fly in at FULL SEND, you’re gonna clog up the intakes on the motor, but you just clear them out once on the other side. But I dunno if that technique would work.
I mean, I saw that mat from a fkn JET. LOL
I have to see it in person (or pics/video to know for sure).
But man, you did the TOTS thing: new area, limit of fish.
Excellent work!

Also, photo 313 looks good to me.
Obviously not the best pond I would ever film or fish in, but “good enough”.

Okay, well, it’s been hot. That def makes everything tougher.
I think you were close to the fish. Build on this trip and you’ll find them. I think you were close at Bay August.
I know water clarity has certainly improved down there as of yesterday.
I talked to a captain who guides down there and that person busted the reds (limited out) three days in a row this weekend.
They are there. But it’s gonna be like finding a needle in a haystack.
I’m currently overhauling my flatboat or else I’d shoot down there and look.
Things are afoot this year. Trout are showing up in Bay Eloi and EBM, where they haven’t been thick for years.
So maybe the redfish are coming back. I was also told there’s a ton of rat reds out there.
So, not bad.
You did good switching to redfish. If they’re whacking the trout down there, then I don’t know where.

“but it got up to 90”
Man I read that and got disheartened, but once I saw how the day went, I am impressed.
Great job.
Does Hermitage get that salty these days?
“Willis was super happy with his new kayak and stoked to get out on the water”
Man, do I love a good attitude.
“It’s sad to see all those dead and forgotten trees”
Absolutely. I think about it all the time.
If I had a time machine I’d use it to go back in time, fly over Louisiana and see what it was like 200 years ago.
But we’ve got what we’ve got. Enjoy it.
Maybe we’ll figure out how to completely save it.
I am grateful for the work CPRA has done. Just wish they’d build the diversions.
-
No fish. That wouldn’t keep me from trying, though.
-
Thank you for sharing this!

At least Glenn Sanchez is legit. He’s an actual trout angler. He’s got more experience fishing that area and the Sound in his left pinky than the guy who’s been running the place has in his entire life.
If a trout gangster wants to chew me out, I can deal with that. But I’m not taking guff from some guy who can’t find Central on a map. lol
Robbie and the rest of them are legit, too. Great folks.
-
Amen to that. Also highly rewarding when it works.
-
Ahh, that makes sense.
But I’ll tell you this: I’ve been doing this content publishing thing for a minute and – if I learned anything – it’s that optics are everything.
Dat baw gon learn dat, too! lol
You can build a thousand bridges, but if you…
Fortunately it’s just a minor, goofy rod thing.
If it were me, I woulda picked up another rod. lol
The comments section can be ruthless lol
