Yeah man i think i wont be going back to hopedale anytime soon. Had bad luck both times ive been there this year. Ill be heading back down to venice on the 2nd. On the 4th ill be fishing Bievenue

That sounds like a lot of fun brother. When we caught the trout in the jump they were at about 30ft of water, we caught it around 3pm. Fishing is a box full of surprises bro. That day Jamie and i flipped canes for bass for 7 hours straight for 5 bass, today he went back and they caught over 100….go figure. Did you try Baptist Collette? I’ll be back there November 2-3, we reserved a cabin that sleeps 6. I’ll bring my friends from Colorado. You more than welcome to join us and put that ranger to good use!! We can find some new spots too!!

[FelipeFerreira]

Amen!!!

Thanks for the report and good job on completing IF 101 brother! Yeah fishing on that area is about to get good (according to other reports). I’ll be fishing the area shortly to scout. Just a piece of advice, if you plan your trip a couple of days before using what you learned on IF 101, and post on the planning section, other members might be able to point you in the right direction and maybe save you some precious time and money. I’ve done a few not so good plans and had to recalculate my route, and it worked out for me. Great to see you posting a report and helping us brother!!!

You are an warrior!! Trolling motor would definitely had made you life easier, but regardless of the curve balls thrown at you. You made it happen!! I went there day after you but my focus was bass and it was a huge let down. Managed to find some trout including a nice 4lbs at the jump. had to do plenty of graphing to find the sweet spot though.

[FelipeFerreira]

Thanks for the report bro. I went to Venice yesterday and i.m stupid tired, so decided not to go fishing today. If you planning on making a trip to Venice, my report is up.

[FelipeFerreira]

Don’t be intimidated by Venice. I was scared to run there for a long time, wasn’t until i joined this community that i decided to take the chance and trust me it was rewarding!! You wont know until you go!!!

The jump is a little stretch in the grand pass right before the intersection with Mississippi River

Thanks bud. It’s been great learning Venice. I wish I had done it sooner.

[FelipeFerreira]

Im really not sure how accurate the scale is on them boga grip but after this trip im definitely getting a better scale

[FelipeFerreira]

Brother we didnt even think about measuring it, which i regret. We were just ready for some pictures and releasing it. Only reason i know the weight is because i have a scale on my boga grip. It was a stud tho

[FelipeFerreira]

Brother i aint gonna lie, if we organize a week long road trip to the everglades or miami, i wouldnt be mad at it at all. Bring the boats and just explore

[FelipeFerreira]

the jump you not really impeding the passage of ships. When they complained about me i was way inside grand pass, not even near the river intersection. When he said “they are not supposed to be there” it sparkled the curiosity in my mind

[FelipeFerreira]

I’ll definitely have everything checked before heading out there. That crazy strong falling tide did not help at all. It was many hours of straight running on high power (two people on the boat, tons of gas and a full livewell didn’t make it any easier either).

Now i would suggest something that i am 100% sure Devin would to: Why not go to Venice?

Ill be posting a report on Venice monday night if you are interested
