Dedication all around, I wanna see that sheaphead!

I’m no pro but the tide on Monday looks garbage, Tuesday morning looks better, a falling tide may help activate the trout we’ve been waiting for. A safer bet I think would be targeting redfish though I wonder how the water looks after all this wind. They’re in there but expect to hit a lot of shoreline to find them

That boat was completely submerged when I was there yesterday, I almost hit it. It’s right next to the launch on the MRGO side

I’m gonna explore some of the south shore of Lake Borgne tomorrow when the tide falls in the morning, I’ll let you know what happens…

Is the Biloxi Wildlife Management Area off limits to duck hunting?

Thanks for info, I’ve seen the most ducks near Point a la Hache but lately fishing outta Hopedale where I’m seeing a lot of duck boats

Great report, I felt that energy!
-
sounds like a fun day!
-
Wow, I got a few days off early this coming week, I can’t wait to explore somewhere new using your map!
-
Thank you I’m gonna check it out!

OMG yes! I raise my trolling motor as far as I can and switch to a cork when I get tired of snagging them
-
I appreciate the feedback Captain!
-
and yeah, I absolutely stopped and focused on the trout when it lit up, it was a pinch yourself moment! there was another boat nearby but more in the middle of the channel, I didn’t see them pull up a thing

Honestly I was looking for reds when I hit that patch of trout so I was doing what had worked for me in the past which was working the shoreline with a gold spoon. Typically I look for water that’s around 2-5′, that seems to be the sweet spot for redfish.
I do have a fish finder, a Garmin Striker 4 which really is about as basic as it gets, much like my boat! I use it more to keep track of depth and to leave a trail as I’ve run around more than I care to remember and a phone will tell you where you are until it doesn’t.
I do remember glancing at the Garmin and seeing 17′ at one point where I crossed the channel which surprised but the area with the trout was pretty shallow, I remember seeing activity on the screen but I was too busy with the rod to decipher the graphics on the screen.
You mentioned both a drop shot and a popping cork, both items I carry with me but honestly in shallow water I feel I can cover more real estate with a jig or a spoon in this case.
Included is the trout spot and and a dollar fifty lunchbox holding an old motorcycle battery with my Garmin on top.

Go for it! And please post what you find. I have a smaller 15′ that one day (soon I hope) I’ll have the cojones to explore also!
