Hell yeah man! Great trip and awesome report. You have me pumped to get out there Monday.

I mean, he may flinch at the idea at first, but I think he’ll understand. Explaining to the Coast Guard, Wild Life, or Sheriffs depart why my buddy has an oyster sack over his head may get a little awkward, lol.

Yeah, they were throwing up a lot of minnows.
As for swearing my to buddy to secrecy, I get it. Full disclosure: I only told him we were fishing the Delacroix area, no further details. He’s not part of the forum, nor does he know the actual details and spots for this trip. I know people can figure that out by taking pictures and seeing the location, but honestly, I don’t think he’s concerned with that. The extra plus one was last minute and unexpected. They were just along for the ride. I know better.
Thank you!

Thank you!
Just do your homework, watch the conditions, and utilize the forum and you should have a good trip.

All good! I missed most of last years Delacroix / PHL beat downs because of the crack in the hull of my boat. I got my boat back just in time for the, what I called “The Elite Outing” in Delacroix 2025.
Anyway, yeah I’m itching to get back down the Venice to venture out to South pass, SW pass, and the outer bays.

Thank you Tim!

It definitely caught me by surprise when I caught it. I though it was a bull red at first, but it didn’t fight like one.
Thank you!

I made sure to keep a few in the box to take a picture this time around. They also had some in their bellies.
Not sure what you mean by running down from Shell Beach. I think you may have me confused with @JonFisher ? He posted a report recently about coming down from Shell Beach.
I knew Delacroix and PLH was going to turn on this time of year because of past trips and reports, but was going to skip Delacroix and go see if Venice was heating back up instead.
Thank you!

I’m definitely going keep your advice in mind tomorrow when down there.
Very much appreciate the advice. Thank you!

I will be visiting Gus soon for a drift sock.
So, looking back on GED to November 2009, there was a platform on OP #1. H #1 looks like something in the water that was next to it that’s still there, so i just marked it just in case.
Grand Point Bay is on my radar, a lot of coves, pointes, and tidal flow in that area, and will it be added for another trip.
Very much appreciate the advice, thank you!

I started to venture further out pass those islands with P #28, but stopped myself. The more spots I add, the more spots I’ll fish. I’ll have time to fish, but not <i style=”font-weight: bold;”>that much time, lol. Like Devin said though, you should stay on the fish doing that.
I’m not sure if you’re using this tool or not, but Devin gave me a link for “Copernicus Browser” when I was planning a Venice trip a few months back and its amazing. Hopefully the link below works and takes you to PHL 3-2-26. If not, it might take you to Venice 11-27-2025, which is fine. Let it load, then click on the calendar top left conner and adjust the year to 2026, that should prompt you to current date. Once it loads, click on the date(s) with a hard blue triangle around it and that’ll be the date with 30% cloud cover, you’ll see the cloud cover adjustable line above calendar. Let it load then grab the map and drag it over to the area you want to view and it’ll give you a good recent satellite image. It’s a fairly easy page to figure out if none of what I just said works.
Also, thank you!
