Welcome my brother. The way you look at fishing just changed! You gonna love it here! Just found yourself a new family!
-
Unfortunately I go back to work on April 30. A lot can change between now and then and my schedule might change, but as of right now that’s my first week back at work, sorry man I wish I could make it

Yeah brother, i have decided to go to venice monday and see whats happening there, and if i still have the energy to fish, i will most likely just do a little boat ride in Bievenue tuesday and see if i find anything there. Hopedale is not looking promising at all after talking to a few people, and this is the report i did a few weeks ago when i went https://www.lafbelite.com/forums/discussion/hopedale-9-12-25/
So most likely posting my planning on here saved me a good bit of gas money hahha i am only going to Bievenue because i never been and i have some free time. But got zero expectations on catching fish
-
Ill definitely hit the jump to see if the fish is there already. I wont make a planning post for tuesday in Venice because me and you covered that pretty good in my last trip to venice, all i need to do is check the same trout spots again. When “game time” comes in november, then ill make a good planning post with all the intel i gathered between my last trip and now!

Okay let me try to uncomplicate things:
My original scouting plan was Hopedale for sure, but after the feedback on my plan we came to the conclusion that Hopedale might not be the best place to look for fish as of right now, that’s why i decided to make a plan for a different area instead. I believe is confusing because maybe i didnt express myself correctly or you didnt see the previous confersations iw as having with clint.
As far as venice goes, i am going there tuesday with a friend that bass fishes that area a lot and we gonna scout for some bass, so when my friends come from colorado i can have a plan for bass and trout.

You 100% right so tuesday im for sure going to venice to have some spots marked down for bass fishing for sure, that way put together with the spots i already learned, i should have a solid plan for when my friends arrive. As far as monday, i had decided to go to fourchon but after thinking over it, even if i find the mother load of speckled trout, it will change by the time they my friends get here, like you said, scouting 3 weeks in advance is not ideal. It crossed my mind to fish Bievenue monday since i never been there, and like you said, when the time comes ill at least had put eyes on the place. So what i might end up doing monday is Launch at the chef, fish some cuts in the north shore of lake Borgne, check some deep canals in alligator point, and fish the marsh in Bievenue around the great wall area and get to know the place, pretty much not having catching fish as a priority, but get to know the area. With my report and yours we would be able to see what’s happening in that area. And i would be sort of prepared for when fall really kicks in. Another place that i have never been and want to learn is Delacroix, but after looking in the GED it seems like Delacroix is kinda close to Hopedale/Shell Beach so if fishing aint great in those places i dont know if its worth it the 2.5h drive for me.

“…what would considered be a good day of catching reds for them?”
Man i remember like it was yesterday my first time catching a redfish and i can guarantee that they wont need much to get impressed. So fighting any reds i believe would a good day for them. I started fishing the East side of the river in the past few months so everything is new to me. So what i will do is let Venice take care of them pretty much, i’m pretty sure in the two days we gonna spend there we gonna be able to catch bass, reds and some trout. I’m going there Tuesday to scout pretty much for bass/reds and see if the trout moved in yet. As far the other two days go, ill just take them trout fishing in the areas i am familiar. Going to make my scouting trip Monday out of Fourchon to see what the trout is doing, and most likely take them there as well when they come down to catch some trout and see what down the bayou looks like, i think would be a all around good experience. Take them eating down there too. But Venice will most likely be the ticket!!!!
In a nutshell, 2 days in Venice will be “fishing days” and the other two days will be exploring the cajun Louisiana, with a little fishing involved! Fourchon to fishing and eating one day, and one day maybe bass fishing in bayou black to come accross some gators and bald eagles.Sorry to bother yall so much but i promise im not trying to get specific spots or drain yall knowledge, just trying to find a north as far as having a good or bad plan. Later today or tomorrow ill share with yall my plans for Fourchon monday

“Why don’t you go to Venice?”
I am 100% going to Venice. So when they come down they gonna have 4 days available to fish. My original plan is go to venice on day 1, fish all day, sleep there, fish all day 2 and head back home. Day 3 and 4 we would fish closer to home, and that’s why i need to scout next week, but my main problem is i only have 2 days available to scout so i need to be very selective on scouting day. Tuesday i am going to Venice to do one last scouting before “game day” but i need to decide where to go Monday. So on the two days i want to fish closer to home i want to focus on Redfish because that’s their bucket list fish, that’s the reason why i want to spend my scouting day looking for reds.
-
Brother ive been looking in the maps and thought about maybe make a brand new plan fishing this area since i never been and seems very promising. What you think
-
So only reason I’m starting my day looking for reds is because the tide is supposed to start falling at 6 am so I figured I would look for reds while I wait for the tide to be falling pretty hard, then around 12 I would go look for the trout. Also I want to find some reds because that’s what my friends want to catch. And I’ll definitely add the spot on crooked bayou to my route. You the man!
-
the areas im very familiar with is south of houma but i recently moved to baton rouge so its too far of a ride for me, and hopedale is a new area for me and i have been learning new areas. I only have 2 days to scout to find reds to take my friends. But yeah im also open to learn new areas
-
Oh nice, I missed that. How about the fishing equipment? You do anything other than rinse it off? I’m wondering just about the post fishing. I do take my reels apart once a year to deep maintenance
-
awesome just added 2 fishing spots to my planning, about to unload it all to gps
-
“Remember that the tide falls first on the Hopedale side, so you can fish the falling tide there then scoot to Martello if you have the time and stamina for an all day trip.”
I will definitely make the time!! I wont spend hours on every spot i marked in hopedale, its gonna be a few minutes in each until i find a good bite, and keep moving regardless. My goal is to learn as much as i can and not get caught up on “limiting out no matter what”. So i believe that around 11 i should be casting the first line at martello. Looks like tons of water to cover between the casttle itself and the MRGO cut into borgne, so ill be scanning most of it before fishing, unless i see birds of course.

“What would make you think it’s shallow? You can’t see bottom detail in any of the imagery on GED (or anywhere).”
To me it seemed like there was mud stirred up when tide was falling but might be one of them imagery glitches, and even though i know its not 100% reliable, navionics also said it was 1-6 deep in that area. Well after tomorrow it wont be a completely new place to me.I will definitely add Treasure bay to the list, ill post a picture with a route to treasure bay and some spots, just to make sure im not running straight to something i dont want to run into.
