I think you dodged a bullet.
It’s just windy.
With it being hard overcast, there could be a bite somewhere out of the wind.

Like Will accurately stated: those are stumps in Stump Lagoon, specifically the western side of it. It’s called that for a reason!
Just wish Redfish Pass and Treasure Bay lived up to their names as well!

Found this other pic I took of that same boat. You can see how close it is to the Trestles.

I’m sitting here watching on Geosphere as I organize video files.
You are in some of the clearest water in Louisiana.
Water at Timbalier sunk rocks could be good, too. But it might be rough out there.

Ah, sorry. More questions:
“bring heavier gear to Texas rig grass mats for Reds”
What exactly? I can check that for you.
Geezum, I feel like an AI assistant. lol
Good call on not pursuing speckled trout. If your heart isn’t in it, then don’t do it.
I’m not sure what the sheepshead situation is like on the bridges this time of year. I imagine they are inside and on them.
Capt. Kenny Kreeger is a good guide to monitor for that sort of thing. He loves sheepshead. If he is posting dock shots of sheepshead, then chances are he’s doing something you have in mind.
I would also try those rocks that start on the shoreline at the south end of the Trestles.
I would also try the catwalk at Seabrook and maybe even the Seabrook wall itself.
Last, but not least, if your friend absolutely has a hard on for trout and y’all don’t wanna make the run: then consider night fishing the lights in Lake Catherine, Hwy 11 bridge, Treasure Isle, Eden Isles and Lakeshore Estates.
Do you know where all these locations are?

“There were singles and doubles on a lot of the power line bases just as he suggested. We fished them wrong and I was too dumb to realize it until I was back in Oklahoma.”
Whoa. What do you mean?
Like, you saw the fish on sonar and then threw something that didn’t sink to them?
“I also had an absolute BLAST sight fishing big Sheepshead. I had several 18-24″ and boy were they fun!”
What did you sight fish them with?
This was a big problem/challenge/opportunity for me in 2024. Saw lots of great ponds with sheepshead, but no redfish.
So why not catch the sheepshead?
Problem is, they don’t take a swimbait or Texas Rig as well as a redfish. They take flies and smaller lures or something with a long shank much better.
“Ultrex, 12″ & 9″ Humminbirds”
Helix or Solix? If Helix, do you have a Windows PC?
Now you’ve really piqued my curiousity. Why are Power Poles worthless in Oklahoma? Every reservoir I’ve ever fished – Toledo, mostly Tennessee River (Guntersville, Nickajack, Chick, etc.), MS/TX reservoirs and Florida lakes – there are places to fish shallow and Power Poles were a great help.
Of course, I prefer fishing stuff I can graph, so the Ultrex was the primary workhorse.

I plan on making a sonar course!

If they are, then they’re enormous gizzard shad.
-
It is relatively soft, yes. Except for the stumps. lol

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Helluva good guess.
Or you remember from when I posted this on social media awhile back. LOL
WHICH ONE IS IT, WILL?!?!? LOL!

Get to the Fourchon Barges and Belle Pass if you haven’t already.
Throw a 3/8oz or 1/2oz jig at the Fourchon Barges. Make sure you hit the bottom in front of the rocks on the Gulf side. Use something lighter on the beach side as it can be shallower. Even try throwing into, directly up against the rocks.
They’ll hide there from dolphins.
You got this!!!!!!
-
Trout can be in the surf right against the beach, or in that first trough.
Keep going, don’t give up!!!
-
lol thanks
I don’t have a problem with FFS so long as people use that next-level tech and skill to put fish back in the water. If they’re doing it to load the freezer, then they can kick rocks.
And that’s the whole thing I’m doing here: leading people to conservation. Some take longer than others. Some arrive early, some don’t arrive at all.
So that’s the overall effort.
I see some people using FFS to answer questions and learn new ones to ask. I see others using it to be a burden on the resource.

If you mean Bayou Segnette, it has always been clear for as long as I can remember in the last 11 years.
Launch at Pier 90 or in Westwego at the shrimp lot or park.
