Also the lake p trout with worms, from what I’ve noticed, are far worse when fishing hard structure like rigs, reefs, bridges etc
-
It’s personally believe that some estuaries are worse than others. The spring Delacroix fish, packed with worms every year. lake p seems to have the fewest worms.
I know the worms are related to sharks and shrimp… also visually you can tell which ones will be packed based on how many sores they have on them.
Delacroix is so bad that I won’t keep as many fish this time of year. To pull 8oz of worms out of a 1lb fish is too much for me lol and mentally it grosses me out lol

The last time i looked, starlink service plan isnt cheap… Not a bad idea, but probably a waste of money… unless you really really want connectivity 100% of the time. I saw them at west marine.
I have 3 layers of communicating… my cellphone, VHF, and EPIRB. The epirb is worth the cost. Also there is no required subscription. They offer subscriptions if you want the satellite texting service, but not required in the event you need rescuing. They offer 2 types, one that auto deploys off a mount, or a portable type like i have… The portable one is awesome, because you can use it any time you go out in into the wilderness, like if you go into a national park and need rescuing.
The down side is because the battery expires, the entire epirb needs to be replaced every 5 years ( different models have different life spans)
@Devin while typing this up i looked at their site again, they make a EPIRB now that has AIS, so your family could track you in real time.

Water looked like it was about 1-1.5’ below average
-
Water was low and dirty everywhere. we fished south down to 4,5,6. Dirty. Most of our fish came from the lower east end. Only clean water we found. Saw what appeared to be reds all over, but water was straight mud.

Spot 9 is like 12” of water…. A ton of dirty water. Like can’t see trolling motor dirty. That was our first time fishing those areas. I’m familiar with east and west of these spots.
Unless somehow by tomorrow the water comes up and settles clean, I think you’ll have a bunch of boats in a small area.

I have a report coming. eating dinner then I should have a minute.
-
Struggling to find fishable water…. All dirty
-
@Devin what about the west side of delacroix, like lake lery, grand lake, four horse… any one have intel in those areas? Dont wanna waste time fishing dead water…
-
Yeah, i know in recent years they have put out a bunch of PSA’s for parents taking their kids to the beach or pool. Showing different colored bathing suits in the water, and how certain colors (and not obvious ones) will match the water color or not show as well. And if your drowning, or just floating in the ocean waiting to be rescued, you wanna be seen.

FWIW i rented a cabin for my birthday at the end of March, they used starlink for their provider. Cant say i was super impressed with the performance. I mean i guess if i was using it out in the middle of the gulf and could stream video i would be impressed, but for home service, i wasnt impressed.

My fishing buddy is my 2 year old son, i cant give up that easy on taking him lol
-
We moved to cleaner water. And being unfamiliar with the area, everything around those lakes resulted in us having to idle through mud!

Cool. thanks, might rough it Friday, the wind isn’t bad and it’s my one shot this week
