I bet they do.
Kris Robert used it successfully in Texas and Chas Champagne has in Florida. I’ve used it on bass in Lake Conroe, Chickamauga, a private lake in Mississippi, Logan Martin and Guntersville, too.
Could you give me more information to work with? What brings this up? What experience did you have?

It beats the hell out of the strike net they were using.
Honestly, given how expansive Louisiana’s fishery is, how important it is to our culture, recreation and identity (think of what’s on our license plates), it’s a crying shame we didn’t have this sooner.
Better late than never.

Great report, thanks for posting!
-
That sounds about right. I’m glad to hear of some fish coming out of there, because it looked scarce for a little bit.
Thanks for posting a report!

What I like the most about this is that you’re applying what worked in Lafitte/Grand Isle to EBM. They do kinda set up the same way: islands, tidelines, birds, etc.
This is truly fishing the patterns and conditions. Dude, give yourself a pat on the back.
Great report, thanks for posting!

It is almost always the same frikkin thing wherever you go across Louisiana’s coast.
Doesn’t matter if it’s Seabrook, Southwest Pass or Vermilion Bay. It’s the same patterns.
Everyone likes to think their area is particularly unique and want me to drop everything I’m doing to go make a video showing them how to do the thing that works in other places where they don’t want to trailer to.
That’s why I made IF101: to show the process you can cookie-cutter for pretty much anywhere trout/reds swim.
What those people really need is not a f**king YouTube video but some self-application. Learn the process, get out there and apply it, keep reports, rinse and repeat.
Maybe also when everyone is raping the daylights out of the fish in X area, then just drive there.
Watch, it’s going to happen in Venice now the river is going down: the trout fishing will be utterly stupid and there will be people who do anything but drive there and try.
Okay, rant over. lol
Josh, thank you for applying the process and fishing the pattern. It is a beautiful thing to behold.

“I pulled up on one looked decent but a mud bottom not hardly any oyster at all.”
Yeah, it was probably dredged or never seeded to begin with. Honestly, what you did is the best way to find out.
The video lesson I linked is a great start, but at the end of the day you’re still going to have to go look and decide for yourself. When you do find fish, keep that spot to yourself and enjoy the fruit of your labor.

Man, it’s like I spent two years producing a video course specifically for this kind of thing 😉

I’d pick out a few more spots if I were you. The above links can help to that end.
After that, tell us more. Like, where are you launching from?
-
-
Even as early as next month you can catch keeper specks under dock lights in Lakes Pontchartrain and Catherine.
-
That is an incredible ramp to launch from.
Depending on where you’re trailering from, I could recommend launching from Pass Christian in Mississippi and shooting across the Sound. If the wind is calm, that tends to be a shorter/straighter shot into EBM.
-
You’d get more feedback making a separate planning post.

Y’all go crush it and bring back a kickass report!!
-
Nah, it still makes for good discussion.
Discussion is good. Make more discussion. Discuss. Discuss. Discuss.
lol
