Until it cools off significantly, I think it’s too soon to fish that area and really expect anything significant from it. I’d look hard at Martello Castle, but that wind is not good for it.
Instead, I’d launch from Rigolets Marina to fish Mud Lake in the afternoon, looking for diving birds or drifting and popping a cork.

“A quick Ai generated answer tells me the temperature as well as the shortened day light period trigger the migration.”
Welp, there it is. That will be the death knell of LAFB. Y’all found LAFB and have enjoyed it/will enjoy it, but in the future I totally see it getting squeezed out by AI. And I trained their AI for free! Yay! Soooooo, yeah. lol
“I’m assuming the warm temp has everything delayed.”
It does. We just need a good front. Like, actual pandemonium out of the northwest. lol

It’s a bullsh*t number. Input whatever, just don’t be egregious about it.
I wish the Coast Guard make some effort to verify and thus improve the stock of “captains” in Louisiana. It’s otherwise not a hard credential to get.
You’ll find that most of the knowledge for OUPV and even Master’s has diddly squat to do with Louisiana’s coast, or at least only applies in theory, rather than practicality.

Yes, another Not Trestles report. I love it. I just wonder how the hell they show up there before the Trestles. Fish gonna do what fish gonna do.

I’d be checking for birds in open water between the Causeway and Trestles, on both shores.

Ultimately you’ll have to go to know, but this front really wasn’t that strong. Water temp is still in the high 70s at Pilottown and Grand Isle. This fall fishing sure is taking its sweet time, as it did last year.

“swell was coming from the east so I fished on the west side of the rocks.”
Is it deep on the west side, too? Or is it shallower?
Man, I’d be happy with your results, catching a limit of slots. That’s great. Sounds like you found the mother lode of reds.
The speckled trout will come!
I can’t really say much for the tarpon because I have little experience with them.
Great report, thanks for posting!

“Winds were projected to be double digits out the Southeast. SW Pass sets up nicely for this.”
That’s the kind of sh*t I like to see. Fck yeah! We’re really doing it, Redban. That tells me you’re paying attention and fishing accordingly. Literally the easiest/hardest thing to do. Which of course you do it, but it’s just nice to see first thing when I wake up this morning. LFG!!!
“On the way down, we again read @battenterprises report from this past Sunday, and used it as a guide to try and replicate his success. Also can’t forget to mention @FelipeFerreira , as his 4 lb trout was pictured in all of our heads as we made our way to The Jump in the dark.”
Okay, everybody. Everyone take notes. THIS is why you keep fishing reports: so you have something to build off of. This is also why it’s incredibly nice to share fishing reports, so your like-minded buddies have something to work with. I haven’t finished reading this report, but I imagine @battenterprises will have something extra to work with thanks to @Boyce posting this report.
This is also why we should all fish the same few areas. If I wasn’t in everyone’s ass about going to Venice over the last few years, I don’t know if there’d be that much hype in this forum for it. Everyone would probably just be fishing the same ol stuff: Hopedale, The Wall, etc.
But if we have enough good-to-go pipehitters fishing the same area and working together….well, that’s where the magic is.
“For the next hour, we caught as many red snapper as we wanted.”
That close?!?! Behold the magic of Venice!!
Epic report, thanks for posting!

“nasty, just disgusting!”

Yeah I think you have more Venice experience than what you let on in your intro with your very understated “for years i have strictly fished venice” lol
You’re out there jumping in the water, shooting fish in the face, free diving over every nook and cranny in the area. lol
Very glad to have you here. Lots of talent.
