It sounds like things have generally been slower for trout, which is normal this time of year. We’re all ready for fall.
Great report, thanks for posting!

“Those jetty’s looked good!”
They can be, but it’s also a community hole. The inside and outside can be really good.
Otherwise looks like an epic trip. I’ve tried not to get into offshore fishing so I don’t catch that bug and lose focus on inshore, but I always wondered why more offshore guys don’t use sonar. With DI it seems like it’d be really easy to figure out where fish are holding.

Welcome to the Community, and thank you for posting an intro!
Check out this planning post here, there’s lots of good info there that will aid your upcoming fishing trip.
I cannot stress it enough: the key to making the most of your membership is to:
1. Knock out IF101 so you have the same knowledge and speak the same language as the rest of us
2. Use this community to get help planning your next fishing trip. Not doing the work for you, but providing us with an obviously thoughtful plan we can provide feedback for.
3. Rinse and repeat.

“The water was high as predicted”
Yeah, redfish spread out when that happens. There’s literally more real estate they can be in and that can make it tougher to find them. You gotta punch further back into ponds. The upside to high water is that it puts more water over the top of aquatic grass, making it easier to fish.
“combat launched in a new spot for me in Port Sulphur”
Hell yeah!
“Ended up catching 7 slot reds in those spots”
That’s pretty badass, even moreso considering that you’re throwing a fly. That’s legit. Give yourself a pat on the back. That’s BDE, man.

I may still be in town then, don’t know yet. I do have my kids that weekend, but maybe I can work something out with momma.

Just curious, why did you get out of hunting? I’ve always wanted to get into it, but found it easier to focus on fewer things than more things. So I just stuck with fishing and that has worked, especially seeing the best fishing is the same time most hunting is open.
