Sounds about right. The cold snap moved the fish. Maybe to Salt Bayou, Lakeshore Estates or Geoghegan (check my most recent report). What I love about your report is that you just went anyway and let us know about it. Yeah, some days are tough and learning that by putting in TOW is how. Great report, thanks for posting it.

Well, if you want to put in your time to learn Hopedale for the sake of it, then Saturday will be doable. Windy but doable. Stump Lagoon could be good to drift, and the deep holes in Bayou Biloxi could be good, too. Muscle Bay and Pete’s could be worth drifting.
But, in years past, Biloxi Marsh has not held a candle to Delacroix and I don’t think it is right now. I think you’d be set to fish bays like Bay Jack Nevette and Pointe Fienne off of Oak River. Your biggest challenge will be safely navigating down there, but if you made routes and posted them here, we can check them for you.

As for me, I’m not sure, but I think 22″? I haven’t caught a bunch of legit hammers since 2013 or so, I think. That was a day in Breton Sound. Great day. I know they’re down in Venice and that’s why I’ve been putting in my time there.

“3: nothing is water proof.”
I was disappointed to learn that a high-end boat I always wanted got water in its storage compartment like my Tracker does. Yeah, I’ll just keep the Tracker. lol

“I feel like I do more repairing/maintaining than I do fishing. And that’s on a 2020 boat, I can only imagine on an older boat.”
Sounds completely normal to me. LOL I just try to get it done before this time of year.
This week I had a couple reels shit the bed, a GoPro media mod gone, drop shot bag flew out the boat, replaced a couple trailer bunk braces, the rubber that holds the bow on the trailer fell off, house battery charges weird (will probably leave me stranded in Venice), trolling motor isn’t thrusting as hard as it used to (so is it batteries, wiring or trolling motor?) and a slew of other things that really just seem like an endless treadmill of sh*t being tossed onto my plate. But when I feel that trout bite, it’s all worth it.

Try it out. Can you weigh it?
I wouldn’t use it for long casts, but it could be great for something requiring shorter casts like the Trestles.

It’s also worth noting that there were a few throwbacks, like literally 3 or 5.

You are 100% correct, preaching the truth. Anyone looking to get into this can begin on LA-1 down in Leeville, and know there’s a ton of Louisiana Sportsman articles on this exact thing from years past. It is highly competitive, or at least can be. Good luck.
Thank you for sharing, Will!

Another great report, thanks for posting it!

Yeah, I got a report yesterday that they’re there in The Jump despite the water being garbage. It has cleaned up a bunch and is still cleaning up. Great report, thank you for posting!

great advice

General areas are fine and encouraged. I don’t mind mentioning known holes that turn on every year, but I am 100% on board with giving the folks the tools they need to succeed and the room to do so. I don’t like holding hands, and you shouldn’t have to, either.

You’re welcome! I can’t wait to get back out there.

If all I did was fish one area, I would totally have a slip and save a good deal of money in fuel, wear and tear on the truck and trailer, launch fees, so on and so forth. I had one in Shell Beach years ago and it was nice. But I trailer to different places, so it’s a no go.

I would definitely look hard at a half ounce for there.
