Excellent! Way to roll with the punches and still get it done. Great report, thank you!
-
Nice! Awesome trip and report, thank you!
-
Dang it! Yeah, going without a plan definitely makes it tough, we’ve all done it before. I’m sure you’ll get back out there with a plan and crush them. Great report, thank you!

That awesome! Great report, thank you!
-
Man bummer you couldn’t get on anything but like you said, having now been down there and experienced it is definitely a plus. Thank you for the report!

Yeah, fishing with a bait caster is a game changer for sure. Glad you were able to get all that practice in catching a ton of fish!
You had a solid plan, there was no doubt you were eventually going to get on something in which you did! Glad you were able to execute it without any issues.
What an awesome trip and report. Thank you!

I don’t think you’ll have to worry about sandbars in Southwest Pass; I’d be more concerned with the river traffic and the wake those ships push off. If you’re not paying attention and a ship passes you the wake could potentially throw you into the bank, or worse the rocks.
Looking at your plan, the first two spots could be good. Not sure where the third spot is, but I would definitely add Joseph Bayou to your plan.
Good luck!

Dude, same thing happened to me in the jump 10/28, lol. I stopped in the jump for maybe a total of 20mins and about 50 boats flew past me. Venice is wild haha.
Awesome trip and report. Thank you!

I definitely have some advice for you after just getting back from my 10/28 trip. Got to post my report first then ill revert back with some advice.

Thank you sir!

I went through route below without any issues 10/28.

No worries at all, your intel was excellent! Thank you again for it. Those are great spots to fish if you have winds screaming in from either the North of South and you need a little protection. We just couldn’t find them there that’s all.
We truly had a blast though! I’m itching to get back down there for sure. Thank you.

Thank you Boyce!
It was definitely fun exploring a new area of Venice.

Yeah, the winds look brutal Nov 2-3. Day 1 screaming from SSE at 6AM, switching to WSW to W then to NW and then WNW all day on day 2. Of course this all could change by then. As mentioned by Captain Devin, I second the idea of looking at Pass A Loutre and maybe even Blind Bay if you’re feeling froggy. Should be pretty protected in both of those areas for both days, just if do go to Blind Bay I wouldn’t venture to far out.
I took the bayou in the picture below to get to BB 10/28 and it ranged from 10′ to 12′ for most of the way, so it’s a good route. If you do go down that bayou make sure you stop at that pond and check it out. The rest of my BB plan is in my Venice planning post if you want to go take a look at it.
Good luck and hope you have a great trip!

No sir, I didn’t see anyone from Wild Life back there. We didn’t give it much of a chance, we kind of just trolled through it.
BTW, I didn’t forget about your post. Just taking care of a few things really quick.
