Yeah, I hate hearing this. It just seems EBM hasn’t given it up very well, very consistently. It’s been like for a while now.
Whenever you go next, I think it would be worth your time to begin familiarizing yourself with Venice. Don’t even bring fishing rods to tempt you. Just run routes, get to know the area. Take a cruise, listen to a good podcast/music and prepare for when the river drops below 5ft at the Carrollton Gauge.

Also, that’s one helluva hike. Great report, thanks for posting!

You are living the Captain Devin life: get on a good bite, you’re a hero, kicked some ass then comes the long sludge of one tough trip after another. Somehow people don’t remember those. lol
This too shall pass.
We need to rally here. I’ll think of something. Either way, great report, thanks for posting it.

“Captain Jack was at the dock and he limited out with his people in Black Bay, 45 trout.”
THAT is good intel. Gives an area to begin looking.
I should probably whip up at Black Bay .kml and get LAFB Navy out there.
Either way, great report, thanks for posting!

How many sets of pilings do you think you fished total?
Those fish are somewhere out there.

Fish are assholes.

“are you fishing the powerlines that run north to south or east to west?”
Both.
“Closer to Manchac or the southside of the lake?”
Both.
“I have tried the rigs and reefs as well, but have had zero luck.”
Stick with the power lines.
The easiest way to do this is with sonar, just like what you see here. It doesn’t get easier than that.
If you don’t see redfish, it’s because they’re not there. Easy. Easy. Easy.
If you don’t have sonar, you are stuck with manually fishing each set of pilings, which will be a chore. A chore, but doable.
Checking a dozen or more before finding them is normal. Finding them at the first set happens, too. You never really know until you get out there.

When you fish Comfort Island, I recommend going there when the tide is ripping and the wind is calm. I recommend fishing the west side of the island with a popping cork and whatever you want to hang underneath it.

Here’s the .kml file:

This is why my next boat will be plain-jane white gelcoat. Good luck spotting me. I could be anybody, I could be everyone. Never know.

JonFisher, you are a man of wisdom.

+1 on clear water. If it doesn’t look sexy, it’s probably not worth your time.
If it looks stained, maybe try.
If it looks like river water, skip it and keep going.

Well, crap.
Then you’re stuck with idling over the top of them. Which is doable. It’s deep enough you won’t spook them so bad. Just take it easy.
When you do see something, you can still try dropping a line. It doesn’t hurt to try. Or just drop a waypoint and come back fifteen minutes later. It’s that easy.

You are a unit. lol
That’s just all there is to it. Holy schnikeys.
