Added a few more spots

I may be able to make that one.

Thank you for all the suggestions and experiences you have shared. I’m definitely not gonna be buying a brand new boat. The T-top question is really one of the main ones I wanted answered as well as the aluminum.

Congrats on the first boat. Welcome to the group.

Welcome

Great report. I’m planning on going there next Saturday. Any advice or areas to hit would be great. Going to be posting a trip plan next week.

Shot me a message when you get out there.

We are going down on Tuesday, and my brother and I will scout for spots on Wednesday. The tournament doesn’t start till Friday.

Yes, my apologies; I definitely forgot the dates.
It is on the 10th and 11th of October. We are fishing out of my 24-foot bay boat.
From what I’ve learned so far.
– I need to look for rigs, rock beds, oyster reefs, and areas with moving water in canal points. Possibly grass beds. Deeper channels.
– should be moving further inland after the span.
I marked some of the regions in the last photo I snipped from GED.
Spots 3, 7, 9, and 10 are rigs.
Spots 5, Queen Bess, and Pelican Point for shell and rock beds.
Spots 2 and Round Lake are good moving water in channels.

I will not be rushing into one. I will be looking over the next 6 to 8 months.
– I will 100% be looking at the used market. I agree that I can’t justify buying brand new.
– I will most likely stick with fiberglass.
– I am going to look for one with a T-Top because I do fish with family, and the shade is nice on the hot days.

That one was caught on live shrimp. She doesn’t know how to use plastics. It was caught at spot 4. I’m not sure of the name of that rig. I set her up with a 1/2 oz egg sinker with a 1/0 circle hook and a 20# leader line.

Thanks Devin. Still a week away from this trip, so I still have a good amount of time to plan.

I would think they would have plenty of reds in that area. My plan is to fish more of the open area east of where you want to fish. It will be my first time out there. All I can say is use GED and do some area research to have at least 10 to 15 different spots picked out before you go. I have 9 spots now and plan on adding about 7 more just in case.

Thank You.
We will be keeping an eye on the wind and weather. If it starts to look like it will be a little rough for my boat, I might just stay in Lake Borgne.

I run salt away through my engine at least every 2 uses, if not every use.
