The kids will always remember this trip. Sounds like a good one, and there’s just something epic about staying out there, walking across the street into the boat, or at least being that much closer when you launch.
Great report, thanks for posting!

That’s a proper meat haul! Excellent fishing report, thanks for posting!

Perhaps EBM is finally making a comeback after the Freshening. That would be amazing.

It looks like the forecast changed since you posted this yesterday. I see wind blowing out the SW now.
“I think the MRGO is going to be murked up and not productive.”
No.
Not with a southwest wind. From the Rock Dam to the Long Rocks you’ll be good.
What Boyce posted.
1. Could work.
2. I think that’s a horrible idea. You’d be stuck with it. Running anywhere nearby is gonna be a butt-kicker, too.
3. I feel the same: least confidence.
The places I know I could catch trout are all open water.
I do think you could have a shot at catching one that got left behind on the north side of the Rock Dam (in the event the wind blows out the SE), and that you have a shot at one from the south side of the Dam, on those shell flats on the SW side of the MRGO all the way down to the Long Rocks.
“Also, we’ll be in a 26 ft with twin 150s.”
Oh, that changes things. A mono hull, I presume? If it’s a cat, maybe you can make Breton Island and the rigs out there.

Having more forage in the water is good, no doubt.
But I’d venture to say that not having ten years of historic flooding probably has something more to do with it, as well as keeping fewer fish.
Big trout don’t grow on shrimp, they grow on fin fish.

Yes, there are some “posted” and “private” signs but they are not enforced.
Delacroix Land Corporation has dredged off some ponds, but you can’t get back there anyway. More on that here at this link.
The whole water access thing is a problem anywhere in Louisiana, but Lafourche is certainly one of the worst. Sorry to hear that. It’s a tough battle to fight and, unfortunately, most inshore anglers can’t be bothered to get off their ass to go fight the issue at the capitol.
I used to be a part of that effort, but with people staying home and letting apathy take charge (“someone else will do it for me”) I’d rather not spend my limited time, energy and dollars fighting powerful oil corporations and land owners that have a bottomless pit of money to fund a small army of lawyers. lol
Tired of driving to Baton Rouge just to get my ass kicked all over the place only to come home and see all the keyboard commandos on Facebook tell me how they would do it. LOL

You can fish anywhere on Louisiana’s coast in a 20ft bay boat. What matters is the wind.
I’m not following you completely: are you considering trailering to Venice or running there in your boat?
“Lake Dennesse”
If you mean Bay Denesse in Buras, then you may want to go over IF101 very carefully and ensure you are completely gravy on the Advanced Inshore Navigation module.
Because when people say “I’m going to go catch redfish in Bay Denesse” then I know they haven’t looked at it on GED.
Do not find out the hard way. I made the process to find out the easy way. Do that.

This man cannot be stopped.

My understanding is that ethanal falls apart over time and water separates out. You probably don’t run your boat every day. That’s where the problem lies.
At the swamp tour we ran ethanol in the boats, but that was a business decision and we burned that gas that day.
I would not, not ever, make a habit of putting ethanol in a boat that only gets run a few times a month from spring to fall. No way.
-
That boat is a friggin’ battleship. No other boat was made to cross to EBM like that one. Wow.
It’s sounding like the oyster reefs in shallow water are gonna be a grind again this year. No surprise there. Too bad.
Next time definitely go to the reefs in deeper water (in MS Sound) and head east of EBM into Chandy and try the rigs/islands you see there, like in the screenshot below.
-
Okay, I thought so. lol Turtle and shoal grass doesn’t (for whatever reason) grow in EBM. Maybe the mud is too soft. But we see it at Cat Island, Lake P (water celery, IIRC) and Chandy.
-
You mean milfoil? What kind of grass?
-
lol good troll
-
That’s nuts, because I cannot recall the last time I had to dump the fuel/water separator on three different boats I’ve ran in the last five or so years: an F70 on a flatboat, Merc 150 4s on a bass boat and an F300 on a Skeeter 24′ bay boat.
All three are serviced regularly and are kept inside or covered.
There is something else going on with your friend’s boat. Sounds like it gets left out in the rain and there’s a water drip making its way in somewhere. Or something, I dunno. I could be wrong, but something is going on there.

Oh we can have the swim meet still. Just do it from Martin Island to Murder Bayou lol
