I’ll “rep” an LAFB sticker lol

I know it’s been high, and the threat for opening was there, no doubt, but I think the media hyped it up/fisherman are terrified of it.
On a side note, everyone remain on the lookout for river debris. At the long rocks like 2 weeks ago I saw maybe 4-5 giant trees float past me in like 20 mins so there’s a lot of trash out there anywhere on the coast. Even ship island(or one of the other ms islands) had a tree wash up

This just tells us your human haha

I don’t think it’s anything abnormal, it’s still relatively cool waters, oxygen levels should be good with all the wind we have had, the fish should remain active longer. Combine that with the fact that the fishes internal clocks are telling them to build up for the migration/ spawn and the bite should be good.
What I’ve personally experienced this spring has been that when I find the fish, the bite is strong. Lots of fish breaking their lips to free themselves. But the fish have generally seemed to be coming through in small groups. Hit 4-5 fish then have to move or wait to get another bite. Thats what I’ve been finding a lot of

Jelly. I wanna run out there if you want a partner lol

Fished the long rocks on the 23rd. It was super muddy with a bunch of floating trees…The further out i went, the worst it got. I am assuming it was all coming from the mouth of the river.

Long rocks are slightly north east of your arrow, but yeah.

Thanks for the report.

Thanks for the report. I got a return on a tagged fish from over there back in march, which is typically when i thought most of those fish left. I guess im surprised the fish are still over there.

While I know everything you’re saying here is true, Isn’t this the “networking” part of inshore 101? Yeah I’ve probably had to fish with 20 people to find 2-3 good ones, but eventually you find someone who is contributing equally (or as close as possible), not totally annoying or abrasive. Or any other number of personality traits that would make you not want to fish with them…
Sometimes your “network” will have a report they want to keep the lid on, but might be willing to share more with a handful of trusted anglers in their network.
Like if I get on a fire mrgo bite in early winter, I’m not handing over the same detail when posting for 100’s of people to see, as I would if it were an angler who I know that can and will return the favor. Because I know my network won’t go pillage my spots, they wont go post online like they discovered the fish, and I can trust that they will be good stewards of the fishery.
Maybe I’m half reading… just my thoughts

Damn! I had a friend take a charter today, they did well also… I was going to go today but the weather man is a friggin liar!
I’m planning on fishing tomorrow. I’ve had my butt kicked in lake p so many times fishing the trestles, but something tells me it might be worth a trip
-
Haha right. I’ve been trying every winter in the mrgo, freezing my butt off for anything I catch over 20”. 26” is big for any state
-
haha thats funny. I didnt see that report i gotta see that.

Oh and the double rig… I think one reason it was working so well that day is that when throwing a single jig, every cast it had dead weeds… By throwing a staggered double, the top jig was always clear… Then id pick up the second fish just reeling slow…
I saw Todd Mason (and you also) use a heavy double rig fishing the jump. it just makes sense to me… A heavy dropshot is already wonky to cast (having two line ends), why not make the sinker be a lure and possibly catch two lol
-
Yeah i guess your right… I guess i mean i wasn’t fishing my own plan lol. I know fishing with josh has opened my eyes to the benefit of an angler network. In all my previous years my only network has been reading reports, and grinding. I have a few fishing buddies that id occasionally bounce ideas off of, like your buddy Capt. Adam Shields… He would point me in the right direction when i was just lost (multiple bad trips in a row). But other than that, it was lots of all day trips solo fishing different areas and trying different things. But yeah, i’m just starting to build my network, and it definitely helps.
Something I’m noticing though is that even when someone says “go here, at this time, use technique, etc. etc.” 99.9% of the time it just doesn’t always work out the same way. When i discovered my love for the MRGO winter jigging, it was because Adam had sent me that way because he caught like a million sheepshead the day prior… I went and caught zero sheepshead but stubbled across the trout bite. And have expanded on that experience every winter since…
I try to remember the areas we fish are EXTREMELY vast in comparison when your tossing a 3″ paddle tail in 10′ of water, only covering 50 yards of water a cast; Trying to hit a unseen MOVING target that could be as small as a few feet in diameter. Its amazing that we catch as much as we do! lol
