The area of east Lake Pontchartrain from TRT 2 to TRT 4 could have diving birds.
As for TRT 10, don’t fish just the mouth of Mud Lake (aka Little Lake). Also punch all the way to that northeast cove and look for diving birds. They ought to be in there.
Good luck.
Be sure to let us know how you did and we can give feedback. Thank you so much for your effort.

Short and sweet report, I love it.
Sounds like a great day on the water, thank you so much for posting!

This man cannot be stopped.
Okay, great plan. Folks at home, looky here, this is how it’s done!
The wind is playing in your favor, too. That’s a lot of ground to cover, but better to have and not need than need and not have when it comes to fishing spots. They’re free. lol
Those wing dams (or weirs) south of Joseph Bayou, I think that’s where you can make your money. I like to fish them, then move to the rocks and jig those. Just be mentally prepared to snag and break off lures. It’s just part of the game.
Those stretch of rocks south of First Spillway can be good, too.
I think it will be a good day to fish Southwest Pass and you’ll explore a lot of it. Good luck!

You sure are going to drive past a lot of primo fishing getting to Christmas Camp Lake.
I’d pick out a dozen spots closer in. I’d fish the typical fall shrimp pattern and the flat pattern that Cliff Hall figured out.
I do think Hopedale Lagoon and Oyster Bay are a good start, but you will be learning where they ain’t. Definitely try out some deep holes, too.
Good luck.

“Just tell me both these plans are terrible, and I will work in the yard.”
Ha ha ha ha ha literally how I feel sometimes. But you know that ancient wisdom: “Ya gotta go to….”
Is sure do like the idea of fishing Delacroix to try the flat pattern that Cliff Hall figured out. I’d also look hard at Bayou Lingeo and Bayou Robin where they dump into the lake for a shrimp pattern.

I think you have just as much a shot at trout, by drifting the bay, and can catch redfish against the shoreline, by the cypress trees and around the cypress stumps. IIRC, there is a launch you can use on the NE shoreline.
I think that if you go back to Hopedale you are more likely than not just going to do the same thing and get the same result. But at the bare minimum if you go to Venice you would have done something new and gained more relevant inshore fishing experience.
If I were you, I’d go do the new thing.

BRILLIANT!!

“putting at risk jobs”
Well what about my job? What about LAFB? What about Gus’s Tackle? What about Cypress Cove Marina? What’s the point to all this if the fishing collapses and we have to *drum roll* learn it all the hard way like the East Coast did during the late 1800s?
Just venting.

“I could see the prop marks from GED”
When someone says that, I know they’re paying attention. Friggin love it. Fires me up.

+1 on this

This!

Thank you for chiming in! It’d be great to see the kayakers unite and kick ass!!

Looks like did not look at your route on GED at all.
Unless, of course, you’re trying to follow in my footsteps and build a collection of busted lower units. lol That you do not want. They take up space and aren’t worth anything. So let me save you about $12,000 of learning things the hard way:
I see two things that are sketchy. The first thing is the north/south leg of the western-most part of your route. I’m not aware of a route like that that’s safe to run. You will have to run through the Wall if you want to safely navigate that area. Use GED to see that route, just like what I show in 101.
The second thing is that southeast/northwest leg past the mouth of Bayou Bienvenue. There are pilings there bigger than s&*t that are sometimes just under the surface.
After that, in the future maybe consider numbering your fishing spots so we can say “#1 stinks” or “#1 is good” or whatever.
If you make things easier for the average knuckledragger to understand your plan then you are making it easier for the average knuckledragger to give you feedback. People are generally unwittingly dumb and lazy, and you’ve got to makes things easy for them…..and even then it’s not guaranteed. Ask me how I know. lol Overall, you make great posts. That’s working in your favor for your long term success.
Now, I would fish Martello Castle and Bayou Thomas first thing in the morning. But that could be me being stubborn. Based off Cliff’s reports, I’d fish flats and grass mats (or the edge of grass mats). Lots of drifting.
-
Yes, that’s one.
That and literally watch my video here. Doesn’t get much simpler than that.
You’re fishing the weirs in Southwest Pass further toward the mouth of the river, way past the spillways on the west side and that cut on the east side.
Good luck!
