A Strike King Rage Shad could do wonders in that grass. It reminds me of Lake Lery before the dredge project.

I know @McLovin was out there a little while ago, but I’m pretty sure he fished further south and didn’t hit this grass mat?

Okay, so how many spots total did you fish?

Sounds like the wind blew harder than what was predicted.
Good job giving it a try anyway and thank you reporting back.
Some items that might help you in the future:
When you are planning your trip (and especially when you make a planning post) be sure to include a screenshot of the NOAA Forecast and Windfinder. That way I can look at it on the spot and make a judgment call based on my experience and then give that to you.
I know I could look it up myself, but the thing is that I help out in this forum out of my own goodwill. I cannot drop everything I’m doing, boot up more tabs and do the base thinking for you. If I did that, my opportunity to write and generate more content would be seriously hindered and make my output that much lower.
I really do care about you guys and y’all getting on the fish. So if I could see the wind forecast beyond the text you provided, I may have seen that it would have been one of those days where the wind picks up and advised that.
Next, if the wind does pick up out of the west like that, the Long Rocks are still a good place to go because it is protected from such a wind. Even if the water immediately appears to be dirty, there may be a clean rip up against the rocks.
I prefer a west or southwest wind when fishing there because it blows the boat away from the rocks.
The same thing goes for the MRGO between the Rock Dam and Long Rocks. That spoil on the SW side will shelter you from wind, and will shelter that water from it. Because it’s a harder bottom and has that deep water right there, it tends to stay cleaner.
It won’t be crawling with trout, but it is a place you can put together ~20 or so, not to mention redfish.
Of course, the south side of the Rock Dam is always worth a stop, but it can be hit or miss.
Better luck next time!

Thank you so much for sharing this!

“then my buddy oversleeps”
Flog him.
Repeatedly.
Yeah, some days you’re the hammer, other days you’re the nail. It’s that time of year and when it gets hot and the tide doesn’t move, that’s a wrap.
Thank you for taking time to post a report, I appreciate that.

Excellent summer redfish report. You guys did great!
Thank you for posting!

You’re the man! Plan Bass is in effect!
Great report, way to beat the heat, thanks for posting!

What’s you top speed?
Yeah, a 21 with a 150 should be able to go 35. That’s fast enough.
But you could maybe make something happen.
I dunno man, I would look at the end of the Long Rocks and those rigs you can see from the end of it.
Lake Anathasio is probably gonna be Throwback City.
I’d also like to hit the rigs in Bay Eloi.
If push comes to shove and you have to stay inside due to storms, I’d hit the south side of the Rock Dam and work my way SE, hitting points, oysters and tidelines all the way down.
You can put some redfish together in those coves.
Good luck!

There’s quite a few rigs out there to fish.
Good luck!

You’re either trolling me or you really do need help lol
This is covered inside IF201 somewhere, but this link I readily recall off the top of my head.

Most inshore anglers do not.

Good. Even better.
Man, I wish I was there with you guys. Sounds like an epic day!!!
So proud of you guys for just sending it and going for the gold.
