It sounds like they’re just at the Long Rocks and that’s all there is to it.
I’m surprised I haven’t heard of anyone trying the Trash Rig, that one usually ends up being the most productive in all of Bay Eloi.
Great report, thanks for posting!

LOL Happy wife, happy life.
You crossed Lake Borgne? Was it rough?
Great report, thanks for posting!

You should really begin looking the area over in GED and previous reports here in this forum. This place isn’t even a year old yet and it’s already got a good little archive. Do that and the ideas will flow in.
I don’t have time to bake the cake for you. But if you get me one fresh out of the oven I can throw some icing on it.
After that, what are your goals for this tournament? Are you going in your boat? What equipment do you have for navigating this area? GPS unit and mapping card? I can’t read your mind.
If we can cover everything I mentioned above then we can minimize the amount of things you wish you would have known before launching the boat.

Dude, it’s been hard. I keep in touch with a guide friend down there and pretty much all everyone does is drive past trout to go dead-shrimp redfish. Then they hammer the bejesus out of the reds all day with dead shrimp then the bow guides come in at night and shoot the rest with arrows.
These people are so friggin dumb, because then they whine about all the throwbacks and bull reds, but no slots.
Hmmmmm. I wonder where they all went.
It’s tough. That’s why I run down to Pointe a la Hache and try to get some distance from the docks, but now that area is covered in river water and, according to my reports, doesn’t clear up good until the river hits 10 feet.
It is what it is.
But you are the spear tip. You did what spear tips do. This is inshore fishing in Louisiana. Your day of hammering them will come.

Yeah, take it from me: be careful with letting the genie out the bottle. Once it’s out…well, then people in public know who you are (and you don’t know them), they’re knocking on your door, hopping in your boat at the launch, and everywhere you go you are under surveillance or have to assume you are.
Anonymity is a privilege and once it’s gone it is very difficult to get back.
After that, Resolve is the shit. Best bangest for your buck video editing software there is. Shooting video and editing is a lot of fun. I’d rather have the shot than catch the fish, if that makes sense, because you then you have that clip forever.

Not a bad day at all! Sorry to hear the Rock Dam didn’t produce, it’d be great if somewhere besides the Long Rocks was giving up fish.
Great report, thank you for posting!
-
Good job not giving up.
Yeah, when the wind is blowing that hard, there’s just no way wave height is going to be under 1ft in open water. Ain’t no way. Not sure what’s wonky at Windfinder. I’d definitely take that wave prediction with a grain of salt.
Either way, great way to keep going and find some fish anyway.
Excellent report, thank you for posting! Glad you got to catch some this weekend!

That is what it’s all about.

While in Ireland I had a Greek man describe to me that in the EU you need to have a permit to operate any outboard larger than 25hp. I laughed. The other American laughed. All the bay boats in Louisiana laughed.

Dude is having his best life.

Man, I love Louisiana.
I got to see culture shock working at the swamp tour, and loved it. Or talking to Euros overseas. “Yeah, I like this Glock/AR. I’ve got one just like it at home.”
