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!

This would help…!

Just a thought, an easy spot to access that should be protected from the wind tomorrow is the east side of Lake Salvador. Between the breakers and the shoreline I’ve consistently found redfish the last couple of weeks. I’ve hesitated to post about this because there’s always a lot of other boats out there so I figured it’s no secret. There’s a free launch nearby too, Franks Place. Mind the bloated decapitated alligator nearby! Action shuts down by 8am. Gold spoon worked best for me!

I know we’re all waiting patiently for the trout to return but sometimes it feels like we’re waiting for water to boil, any day sure! In the meantime I’ve been targeting reds and while I haven’t fished this area in a few months I can say my best results come from finding areas with seagrass and very early in the morning. 5:30 is smart, wish I could tell you where to find the seagrass. Also I dunno your draft but those redfish markers are in some shallow spots so be mindful. I found a chart from 2016 but it’s consistent with my experience…

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!
