The wind forecast just keeps getting better. It just keeps laying down!! LET’S GOOOOOOO

I’ll bet ~24 on the tracks and an additional 15-20 in the immediate area.

Great report, thanks for posting!

This report was a reply to this report post on 4-17-25.
Just split this off as its own report so the forum is nice and organized. In the future, please post a report as its own post so members see it. If it’s hidden in the comments on another report, it will be harder to find with a search and won’t get see at the forum level.
Thank you!

I like it. I have confidence in Trout 1 and Trout 2. Thing is, that whole area will probably be covered in boats.
I personally would feel better fishing the rigs and reefs in Lake Borgne and then the rocks on the east side. Fish your Lake Catherine stuff then be ready to haul ass for Lake Borgne.
L&N Bridge could be worth your time on the way out.
Of course, it sounds like you have intel that I do not. If you know fish are in Lake Catherine, specifically in tidelines eating shrimp…well…if I knew that then that would make me more confident fishing Lake Catherine.

Your arrow is a good guess, but it fell on Pointe a la Hache. The orange line is where the MRGO and Long Rocks are.
Confirm this at this link to Geosphere and reference the coastal boundary.

I have many times. Limits of speckled trout and redfish in August and September at night when the tide is falling its ass off and the shrimp are running.
But to see a decent bite in Eden Isles in April is news to me.

Man, I envy you. The wind forecast just keeps looking better and better. It’s gonna be nice out.

They’re so chewed up it’s hard to tell. The one on top definitely looks like a brown, but the one on bottom right could be a white. But the tip of its tail is covered. Another to the left of that could be, too, or it’s been digested and disfigured.
I’d ask an old timer if it’s normal to get a run of browns that far in.

Man, respectfully, I do not believe that at all. I think someone is telling you a tall tale or they failed to communicate what’s really going on (no pun intended).
Last I checked, the entire electromagnetic spectrum is accounted for by the FCC and I don’t remember privately paid channels being allotted. You can’t hide a frequency from the public. Anyone can listen in. On some frequencies you must be licensed to transmit.
That’s not to say encryption isn’t possible, it certainly is, but in order to do that you must 1.) have the technical expertise to run it (sorry, I don’t believe fishing guides in Shell Beach…or anywhere in Louisiana…are that sophisticated or willing to spend $$$ on that resource) and 2.) you need to be licensed by the FCC to do it. Otherwise it’s illegal and with a 25-watt bay station you’re begging to get DF’d. Anyone with the expertise to set up encryption would certainly know the legality of it and the likelihood that they’d get busted.
Maybe there’s a HAM guy in here who can chime in.
My expertise in radio comes from my time in the military as an RTO (Radio Telephone Operator), working everything from HF to UHF to satellite comms, then as an RTO at the State Department (mostly VHF) and, of course, a little bit as a charter captain in Shell Beach.
Encrypted, plain text, single channel, frequency hopping, relays, repeaters, you name it. Old radios from Vietnam to (at the time) modern SINCGARS radios, Motorola APX radios (encrypted), all kinds of jammers, and even a little ATAK.
I’ll admit that my experience guiding didn’t really do much for gaining experience using radio: it installs on the console and you press a button and talk. Not much to it. I’ll also admit that I’ve data-dumped a lot of what I know. It’s been a long time.
But I regularly have dinner with a friend who works for a major defense contractor specializing in communications that’s provided for <insert .mil/.gov> and is deployed to that place where there’s a proxy war and whenever we hang out we are talking about radio. And I just talked to him and he agrees with me: no one in Shell Beach has a private radio frequency.
Someone is either jerking your chain (and now you know how to call them out) or they are confused about what they are using.
Now that I think about it, it sounds like what they got is a repeater, or relay. That’s something you can pay for. I’m not sure about licensing or keeping people off of it. Otherwise I could see the utility for it in far reaches like Breton Sound.

Furthermore, the part of the Long Rocks that stays clearest is the part with land on the other side. The side that’s exposed to water gets river water pushed through it. Additionally, the part with land on one side has historically been the most productive stretch for myself.

Yes, that is correct for that image.
But that image didn’t come from today. There’s been clouds over most of that area all morning. Look outside.
However, there is a break in the clouds at 11:10am over the Long Rocks that makes me think it’s worth trying. If it’s not productive, I’d scream north to those spots I mentioned in your other post.

lol the action is so good our man is out of breath lol
