awesome report, great digs, always assumed that place was private

I fished this last Thursday and boy was it shallow. I turned around right at the spot on the map that Devin shared. I really had to study the water from the bow and guesstimate where the deepest part of the channel was, while manning the trolling motor.

While I didn’t catch anything I feel my best chance was in the Mardi Gras Pass, a lot of activity on sonar.

I hope there’s a bit more water while you’re there, I look forward to seeing your report!

Curious, when fishing the Pearl on the LA/MS border do you need to carry a license for each state or does just an Louisiana one suffice?

[kds]

lol had the same thought and did the same thing last night

[kds]

That’s the one! Thanks for clarifying the clearance

[kds]

I appreciate the feedback, I’m gonna look at that tape you shared in a minute but just a comment and a question after reading your reply

1. Frank’s Place

Right on the intercoastal, there’s a box with no signage, I read somewhere it’s $7

2. And maybe this belongs in the General Conversation area but I will return to Cataouatche soon and considered the Segnette launch because it’s both closer by car and boat. Does the canal from there to Catauatche gum up with vegetation in the summer or does it stay clear enough to navigate?

Thanks!

I see that other one now, that’s why it’s good to ask!

Appreciate the detour option though currently waiting on parts to make the trailer lights work again so stuck in dry dock for now!

I’ll certainly need to upgrade at some point, an 80$ tablet is less than what I paid for my cagey Garmin Striker 4. I hope there’s a tutorial in the works!

[kds]

I don’t currently own a tablet, every piece of equipment like that has been appropriated by my kid.

A brief search of ATAK seems to lend itself to military applications. I curious to know though how this GPS software and a tablet could help improve my talents (or lack there of) on the water.

[kds]

But yeah I made those tracks on GED, I have plans for other trips to other places I hope to honor one day!

[kds]

My Garmin Tracker 4 is super basic, it stores tracks which I used to get out but memory loops so at some point it’ll get rewritten. It exists in a bubble so I can’t export data either.

[kds]

that’s what I figured, the launch slightly up river on the MS side was empty, I guess people cross the river with LA fishing licenses

[kds]

lol, it always takes a month for reality to set in, this was four days ago, revision made

[kds]

seems fair

Thanks for the insights, I guess besides the salinity issue I thought both trout and reds stay in the same general area unless they’re moving out to spawn. Most reports I’ve read of tagged fish being re-caught seem to be close to their initial landing. This changes my perception of their behavior.
