I would definitely say just stay clear of the duck areas from mid November to the end of January. It is definitely not worth the fight that they are going to give you.

Nice meat haul. I will definitely be going on at least one offshore trip a year after the one I went on in May. But I agree, I enjoy Spec and Red fishing a lot more.

Seems like you had the same experience I had.

I will be out there as well. My first two stops are your platform 2 and Rig 1. I am trying to get to those by 0530. After that, I’m heading to Half Moon Island and the reef.
Rigolets Marina has a rodeo that day. There will be a lot of traffic in and out of there—just a heads up.

I would have to agree with the summer statement. Once the temps are steady in the 90’s first thing in the morning. Not only fish early for the bite, but also so you and the rest of your crew don’t burn up in that heat on the water.

I was thinking of trying Belle Pass first. Stay out of that wind.
As for the snapper, the charter on Friday is on a 39-foot Contender, so I think we will be fine.
The rigs I have marked are just from old trips. I’m not sure we’ll make it to those.
As mentioned, we have a whole week and will be able to cover a lot of water. Just sucks with the wind. Maybe I need to make a sacrifice to Poseidon.

Always something.
What kind of trolling motor?
-
Looking forward to the report. This is the area I fish.
-
I have been to spot 1 a few times in the last couple of weeks with zero luck.
-
I was in Lake Borgne on the 17th as well. The bite was awesome.

I grind my teeth every time someone says that on my Bat. A bad day of fishing beats a good day at work”. Yeah, you’re not the one who spent the money on this boat either. I would rather go to work than not catch.
I have actually been learning a lot from the Legends podcast with @Boyce. and Nathan.
Going to run through some more of the courses again.

Yes, we stopped in for a little while. They had some decent reds caught. 3 giant black drums at 40+ pounds. The trout winning size was like 2.5 pounds. which, in my opinion, is not that great.
-
I am too. I’ll be out there tomorrow.
-
I’ll definitely check it out. Thank you.

Got it. What about the rocks along the southern shore of Lake Borgne? And these are some spots I marked last year that I never got a chance to check out in the EBM. Just used GED to see moving water, old rigs, and oyster boats dredging. Maybe check out Grand Island, too.
