Nice!

Very good tip!
I have mine in a large pelican case along with first aid kit, tools, and some other emergency essentials. I also have an extra hat, extra beanie, and extra pullover on the boat at all times. I’ve loaned my spare pullover to guest anglers more times than I can count due to everyone underestimating the “on the water chill factor”

…. I’ve got some thoughts in back of my mind to stop and try a few of the flats along MRGO on my way out.

Devin – thanks for the replies. Venice isn’t an option, but I know you had to throw it in there :). A friend of mine struck out at bayou bienvenue yesterday, so that’s got me thinking to head this way. It was that or head to the Delacroix side, which I rarely fish. I found the past month to be surprising in that i found fish further on the outside more times than not. Could the trout have not moved in as much as what would be considered typical for this time of year given our exceptionally warm start to Fall?
Anyways, I’m taking your advice, and I added a few points in the mix. I’m still undecided where I will “start” and work my way through, so I’ll number them in sequence later today. Some of these points may be crap depending on how much the wind turns things up. I’m leaning towards going to the south side of the dam instead of Lena / Gayago in event this is a bust. Thought also crossed my mind to head to Treasure Pass just to try before heading to the back of the dam. It’s just not really “on the way”, so I’ll nix that thought from the brain.
This plan has more spots than I’d typically plot, so I’m thinking it’s going to be 15min at each and then bounce to the next. What are your thoughts on if a cluster of points are duds, would you skip several others nearby and head to another section? (i.e. if #1 and #2 were empty, would you even stop at #5 and #6?)

I second trout first, reds as plan B. Run further out for trout and to find moving water earlier in the day – the water temps have remained relatively warm. My .02, though I’m following in effort pick up on lessons learned from others here.

I’ve had good success with my standard horizon eclipse gx1400 fixed mount with 5’ antenna. I get better range compared to some buddies that I fish around that use handhelds.

I lay all of my rods on the dock next to my boat slip, spray them down with salt away, then gently hose off after a couple of min.

Same here

I saw birds at Duluth but not anywhere else that I traveled.

drove by Jahnche’s ditch verrrry slowly debating whether or not to cast a line. kept driving saying to myself “no tide movement… will not be there right now”.

Good point. Thanks!

He’s a trooper for sure. Though, he’s not just along for the ride on a day like yesterday. He’s learning how to drive a boat, overtake another boat, learning what a tide line in, why the water was moving on the outside when it wasn’t moving on the inside, why the trout were where we found them, and so on. It also allows me to completely unplug from the day to day and disappear in the moment, which is what it’s about for me.

I second Pellegrini.

i know of a group of boats that all did well Saturday morning in the sound – not fishing rigs, but fishing shore lines throughout Breton.
