Where do you normally fish out of? I’m guessing Hopedale/Shell Beach/Delacroix?
Welcome to the forum!

Way to not fish a community hole. Good stuff. I love that.
Great report, thanks for posting!

That’s pretty darned good for the Rigolets, especially seeing that area gets hammered regularly.
Great report, thanks for posting!

What an excellent report.
Man, you guys really have set the bar for reporting. Good luck finding reports like these anywhere else. Very impressed.
Also, I think you woulda crushed the trout at the Grand Banks reef if you had stayed there and worked it. Deeper moving water tends to hold biting trout longer when its hot. That and I’ve whacked the daylights out of them there on more than one occasion.
Great report, thanks for posting!

Welcome to the forum and thanks for posting an intro. You’re definitely in the right spot. That Bass Tracker is a great boat and will do everything you need it to.
Hopedale isn’t a bad place to fish, but this coming fall/winter you will want to look hard at Venice. It makes Hopedale looks stupid and a total waste of time. LOL
Can’t wait to see some reports!

I thought I replied to this. Man, I’ve just been busy like a one-legged man in an ass kicking contest. So here’s my experience:
I’ve fished those shorelines and sometimes caught fish against them. I really haven’t given them my full focus when the conditions are good, it seems I’ve hit them whenever the day is dragging on, it’s hot and I’m looking frantically for fish.
I think it could be a good topwater spot first thing in the morning. I’m not sure when I’ll get the chance to try, as there are a zillion other new places in Louisiana I’d want to try first.
But if I were you and if I planned to fish that area, I would definitely try those shorelines over a period of time. Sometimes a spot/area just needs extra effort to learn when/how it turns on.
There are plenty of places I’ve fished that have turned on with great action, but are absolutely dead at other times.

“I told by buddy after that I’m swinging everything in the boat now because I’d rather someone have to go the hospital than lose another one like that.”
I love it.
With that said, cats usually dig down and run toward the boat, trout usually pull away and come to the surface. Not always, and I’ve definitely been fooled before.
Great report, thanks for posting.

I wonder why that guy has hearing protection on?
And I like to think the trout grabbed that rip cord on her way over the side of the boat and popped that dude’s vest. lol

“Before I went on this trip I came up with a plan and presented it to the Lafitte King @WestbankJosh and got his blessing.”
Thou hast been blessed.
Man, it sounds like another summer slog kind of a day.
I bet that as the river falls fish will move closer to Venice. Something to think about.
Great report, thanks for posting!

That’s a nice trout.
What did you use to catch the fish? What specific rigs and how heavy was your sinking weight?
-
It really is a lot of information. But that’s kind of the point. And it’s in a spot where you can sift through it on your own time.
A lot of it makes sense after being on the water, practically using it and letting it soak in. But there is not a faster way to learn what I know, both instinctively and intentionally.
The achilles heel to IF101 is self application. I can only lead horses to the water, I can’t make them drink.

There’s some great posts in here regarding safe routes from myself and TOTS aka @Boyce
Williams Pass and Zin Zin Bay are your keywords IIRC

Well, @neilnmel just cracked Venice wide open. I think she’s ready for the KING.
