    Yeah, the Shell Beach Buoy has been wonky for awhile. I reference the Rigolets USGS and Grand Isle NDBC and they’re at 62-64.

    After that, it’s gonna be windy, but I think you can get away executing your plan on the northeast side of the MRGO. Good luck.

    You work up and down if boat pressure allows you to. If there’s too many boats then you work with what you’ve got.

    That morning I got on ’em pretty quick and then the bite fizzled out and I worked longer to get 25 on video. That’s why I stayed out. When it was obvious the bite was over I otherwise would’ve gone home to recock the boat, do maintenance, write a report, etc.

    Also notice in most of my videos that you don’t really see other boats. That’s because I’m getting out there before all the troglodyte potlickers do. And, if I were you, especially given the wind forecast for the foreseeable future, I would not bother with the Trestles. I would find where else the fish are biting where the troglodyte potlickers don’t know to go.

    and then Devin appeared on my shoulder and said “Let them go!”

    Ha ha ha ha! Well sometimes it’s “throw his ass on ice!” but letting fish go could be good, too. Thank you for doing that.

    I love to hear about the topwater action. Great report and thank you for posting it.

    On my Humminbird Helix I save the day’s tracks at the end of each fishing trip. They are automatically saved by date. This way I can keep track of what’s what, export them, turn them off, make them visible, change their color so they are discernable from other tracks. I also export them for safekeeping on my desktop.

    Avoid the black spaghetti on your GPS screen.

    “Water temp 73 degrees”

    Goodness gracious, that is warm.

    “I know its entirely too early for that.”

    It may not be. 73 is warm.

    Is drifting Lake Decade not in the cards? I can see why you would want to go past it, I’m just curious if Decade has completely dried up or not.

    Great report, thanks for posting!

    Why not both? That seems to be en vogue these days.

    The Facebook group was good solely because the members here made it good. With that said, I’m glad the Community is on this site now.

    Exactly. And the YT video that recently posted (out of Beshel’s) never would’ve happened if I didn’t take the risk of striking out to find new fish. The grind is worth it!

    A lighter jighead is easier to get unstuck. It doesn’t stay pinned so easily.

    Yes, fishing with slack line helps get those presentations in a much shorter runway and allows for lighter sinking weight, if necessary.

    I bet it’s Karl Rockvoan. LOL It just popped in my head. Haven’t thought of that guy in forever. Yeah, he was always an a-hole to me. I have no idea why. It could be because years ago I politely asked that he post something better than a bragging report inside LAFB Inshore. If he wanted to copy/paste the same brag report in other groups, that was fine but (as I am sure you recall) I was trying to get people to post something more meaningful than wanting a pat on the back from strangers on the Internet. lol

    It is what it is. I hope he has a long healthy life, catches a lot of fish, sees the point in my message and comes around eventually.
