I’ll be down there this weekend. I haven’t game planned inshore. With the success I’ve had inshore lately I was hoping to go get some snapper if the conditions allow.

I did hear of limits being caught at Independence island. I don’t mark much on sonar there. I guess you just have to trust the coordinates. It covers around 8 acres I believe.

Hackberry was really good to me in the fall pattern, but no luck in the spring pattern yet to speak of, but I haven’t had the best water clarity or tides.

I had some solid honey holes in Leeville. I haven’t done anything since the freeze.

I feel like the high river water has to be pushing trout towards the island. I also considered venturing east to first clear water outside of the mudline. Modis shows it near the Empire canal. Historical images from 2020 are interesting.

Just a heads up on on some submerged pipes in that platform area near Palm island.

There is some visible pipes and several just under the water to hang up on if fishing the island. I had to use the big motor to get off and it cost me.

Thanks for the report. I will be down there this weekend. I havent heard of many trout being caught so my plan was to hit the sheepshead spawn on the rigs.

I’ll be doing the same thing every chance i get. i just bought a camp on the island a few months ago.

I have a sea Hunt Bx 25. Its good rig to do both in and offshore. i plan on trolling a good bit this year as well.

Great report as usual!

They were still outside last weekend in Hackberry in good numbers and mostly good size trout.

I hit a bunch of dinks in Mud lake on a tide line at the end of the falling tide.

I was curious how fast they were moving inward.

Thanks for the post. This was an area i picked out but have not tried yet.

I am based out of Grand isle but headed up to Myrtle Grove.
