IMO, I don’t think you’re going to make it in a 2018 Blueway 2400 Pure Bay. Bass boat style and skiffs yes. You may possibly make unknown pass if you don’t have a t-top, not sure about the other bridge. Just an observation by looking at the boat on Google. You can always turnaround if you don’t like it when you get to the bridges.
Stay Safe

Do you have to carry a MS license and LA license?

We had a thread back awhile showing safe route through Zin Zin Bay but I can’t find it using the search function. Could you post a link to the thread?
Thanks

In the link I shared it says the law was passed June 23, 2025 and went into affect the same day. The article was written by the AMERICAN SALTWATER GUIDES ASSOCIATION; these guys are 100% onboard with the new rule. I think it’s an excellent step forward in red fish conservation and I hope our letters to some of the key LDWF member board helped thanks to Devin for posting the addresses so we could have our voice heard. Maybe LAFB helped with this change, it sure couldn’t have hurt it any. I don’t use this phrase much but shout out to Devin and LAFB for posting the email addresses!

That makes sense. I looked at your profile and assumed you were talking about your boat since I didn’t see a boat mentioned. Boat size obviously makes a difference especially going under these bridges. I have a Ranger aluminum and I make it fine with power poles up.

Thought so.

Thanks Devin.

Exactly, we didn’t fish any docks where there people fishing them. We did pull up to one dock and began fishing and the owner came out and I thought we were about to get run off. Not even he was the nicest guy you would ever want to meet. He was leaving the next morning and told us where to fish on the dock and gave us the live shrimp he had left which was a lot. After about fifteen minutes he came back out and brought us a sausage plate and told us the best times to fish the dock and the lures he liked, he even said here you go and gave us a couple to try. Great guy and beautiful huge dock with green and white lights. This is probably not the norm but it went a long ways with seeing how kind some people are.

I’ve been wanting to fish the light sin these areas after reading one of your reports on that very subject. We used to fish the lights around the docks in Venice off of grand pass and around the wagon wheel. We always did well at night. They’ll probably get better when the trout start moving back in a little latter in August. Thanks for the tips!

you can email me direct [email protected]

Yes it’s available. It’s a bad ass cooler but you need a big boat to carry it! I used it for snapper and grouper.

These are the guys that took on Yeti and said we can do it better and cheaper.

I truly appreciate the feedback guys! I kinda thought the red fish would be pretty scarce with the pressure they see but it’s good to know that I did learn a few things in Red Fish school and I can find ponds and safe routes. Thank you for the course Devin, I’m almost done but have referred back to it many times while planning. Thank you guys I appreciate everyone’s intel it’s worth a ton!!

This is good intel. I’ve been doing the pop totally wrong which is probably the demise of any success at all I’ve had with this method, see my neophyte reports not knowing how to properly work the jig. When you see you, Devin, or Chas pop the rod two or three times respectively you then wait until you feel the bait hit the bottom again, then pop again, correct?
