Amen. Insurance policy!

I typically do also, kind of like an insurance policy or at least it gives a sense of security. For some reason today I don’t feel like messing with them. Oh well my mistake. I’m going back this weekend for redemption!ðŸ˜

I bass fished in Venice last weekend and it was difficult at best with the river being high. I’ve fished Venice for many years and the old timers are pretty spot on the river dictates the bite, the river needs to come down some more to fish the Roseau canes because the bass are back in the cane feeding. If you want to fish the canals they’re doable. I’d try camp canal and the canal behind Venice marina to start. After that you can try off of Tiger pass the first canal on the right out of the marina headed south, this is where the old judge Perez camp used to be until it burnt a bunch of years ago. The best recipe is to wait a little later in July maybe August but it all depends on old man river. BTW, a falling tide is definitely better than a rising. Good luck

I was fishing with a guide friend of mine this past weekend and he said throw an egg sinker in the water near them and they’ll leave, he said it messes up their sonar guidance. I don’t know if this true but I have to believe him until I try it myself. Armed with 2 oz egg sinkers and waiting for the chance to test it out.

Great discussion and information, this is why I stay in LAFB. The knowledge everyone has and the want to help each other, a no BS forum! I also like how Devin monitors the activity that keeps the forum real and in check, kinda reminds me of Pat in the mornings 😂, just kidding Devin!

I fished the same area this morning. I got to comfort isle around 6 and there were already four boats there it didn’t look like anyone was doing anything so I went t the scow pass and picked up about ten, only one went in the box, lots of action just no size. After this I went to Martin Island and as MLeBlanc said there was plenty of action by two boats on the furthest west point. I’m not sure what they were catching but the kids were having a great time. I picked up one keeper. Made my way to fish the oyster reefs picked up a few dinks and one keeper along a trash line running through Reef 4. All the fish were about the same size about 11.5 to 12.5, I’m not sure how fast a trout grows but there should be a bumper crop real soon of 13 inch fish. A storm started brewing but I couldn’t out run it it was a Hellashish storm. Put on rain gear and still got soaked, that’s why I always carry a change of clothes in the truck when I go. MLeblanc didn’t mention the sand flies, they were HORRIFIC! I believe Marsh Romance and Marsh Hawk are sand fly pheromones sure acted like it. I had some old cactus juice in the boat and this calmed the natives down enough to fish. Tough day but still got a few fish and a lot of small fish released plus learned a new area.
