    You are definitely in the right place. Thank you so much for posting an intro. Be sure to utilize this group and, above all, take time to soak in what I’ve put into 101. IF101 is the water, should you choose to drink. Yes, getting through it is work, but nowhere as much work as I put into it, nevermind the years learning, testing and succesfully applying that knowledge. There’s the hard way and the less-hard way. It’s up to you. The folks who whack the daylights out of the fish tend to be those who’ve taken their time to learn and apply themselves. This Community is icing to 101’s cake. Use both and you will get what you’re looking for.

    Thank you for posting an intro!

    Great report! Man, if you went again today you would smoke them. No doubt. You already figured out where not to go. I wish I was able to make the trip, but alas I cannot. Thank you for posting!

    I’m sure they’ll take forever to do so. That marina’s dock has been in disrepair then “remodeling” for an age.

    Thank you for letting us know.

    Well, if I had to throw in some spring/summer ideas, I would look hard at all the bayous feeding into East Bay by the mouth of the River. I’d look hard at the rigs there, as well as the beaches and rock piles. I think you can get some real hammers out that way. This all depends on the River and how high she is, of course. I think you can find something down there that pretty much no one else knows about. Time, distance and difficulty of navigation keep folks away.

    Welcome to the Community! You’re located in a pretty good spot. I bet the Bypass is on fire right now.

    Thanks for posting an intro!

    Man, if I just had time for social media, that’s the kind of content I’d enjoy making.

    Yeah, sometimes you just gotta go to where the fish are, and that’s the frikkin’ road. LOL Next time I would recommend the Rock Dam, especially the south side. Hell, I would go there right now.

    Don’t knock the dead shrimp, don’t feel bad. It just works. I do think a Gulp or slow-rolling a soft plastic sprayed in garlic has the same efficacy, but it’s still hard to beat that dead shrimp. You are now part of the Dead Shrimp Mafia. Next step is Open Bail Society. lol

    Great report, thank you for posting!

    At first glance it appears to use community-sourced data, like Sonar Chart. It may even use the same data. How, I don’t know. I would need to thumb through the site. But that looks like a great resource at surface level and I’ve already bookmarked it to that end.

    Thank you for sharing this!

    Sunday you could probably do something legit in the marsh away from the community holes. South side of the Rock Dam is recommended as well.

    You’re gonna have to go to know, or risk missing out. If you can go, then go.

    Oh my goodness, that’s a good smattering of fish. I hate to see it. Breaks my heart. Those fish should be dunking corks and making more trout, not dead on the shore!

    LDWF is reactive, not proactive. As to why, I can’t put my finger on it, that’s how they’ve been. They’re just doing what they can with what they have, and I don’t blame them for not wanting to stand up against public sentiment given all the grief they catch when they do anything with what they’re given.

    We wait patiently! Hopefully you’re whacking them!
