lol on the Louisiana legends podcast I think @ShooterMcGrabbin said something like “if you were going to bump into someone down in port sulphur it’ll likely be frank!” lol

Thanks for the report cliff. Man… this year this mrgo didn’t give up as many big fish for me. But I think the reason is I didn’t go put in the work. I still caught some nice ones, but I think I gave up too soon this year.

Photos from this trip!

I don’t know if you know or not, so I’m mentioning it, this route you have for the twin pipeline. It is blocked off at the entrance where I circled. You can still get to it, you just have to get there through the next opening. Also noteworthy, a lot of the lakes off that pipe line are only a few feet deep. Like maybe 2-3’. Most are passable but be mindful of where you are before you come off plane.

Personally, I view it as the same place. If the name Delacroix didn’t exist, you would still fish 4 horsemen lake, like it was hopedale.
Like Devin said, just plan before you go. Make routes. I’ve fished this area a good bit, but without a path, I wouldn’t make it very far. Even having gone before. There’s just so much more erosion over there it seems. Go on GED, roll the historical time slider back to pre Katrina imagery and make your paths based off that and you will be good to go. Good luck

Josh perfectly summarized the news, but I also want to express my personal gratitude. To @Devin , thank you for creating this group and sharing your knowledge. To my fellow members, who selflessly dedicate their time to making reports, sharing knowledge, and being genuinely friendly and kind to everyone, thank you.
For me personally, this group has been life-changing in numerous ways. I’ve made so many great connections through this group that I wouldn’t have made without it. In fact, I wouldn’t even know Josh if it weren’t for LAFB elite!
Looking forward to this new venture and continuing the pursuit of those speckled fish!

Great report
-
Alright this trip is coming up in a little over a month. Where are we at with this?
-
Edit: my suggestion was the islands, I didn’t see the kayak part. Maybe try down by the silver slipper casino in bay St. Louis. They have some interior marshes back there

It’s pretty up to date. I’ve found spots where it shows land, that isnt there. But I’ve also watched big sections of marsh wash out in 1-2 years time.

On the bean bag chair… it makes me wish my boat was an open deck layout with only the captains seat being fixed in place, then do bean bags everywhere else. Instead I have rod lockers and BS everywhere that makes a 21’L x 8’W boat feel cramped.
I hadn’t heard anything particular about the rigs yet this year. This trip was after me and joshes trip to Delacroix where we hammered them, one of those days that felt like the catching wouldn’t end. Instead of going back to the same “well”, I wanted to scout lake borgne. I don’t eat a lot of fish, so FINDING and catching 5 or 6 (or 2 like this day) from scratch, is more rewarding than going back to where we left them (not that I’m above hitting the same spot over and over, if it’s producing). Plus, going all the way to Delacroix requires a lot more travel by car coming from slidell then going to chef harbor.

Marsh demon is in both of those stores currently. I believe Chags has more inventory since they just restocked . There is also a feature on the website to “pick up in store” if you are near the westbank.
