It was a good day.

One week to go!

There is a small rig at the exit of the rigolets. Seems to usually have some people on it. But, I’ve often had luck there. Caught a PB black drum there last fall. Took a while to land (and release), but it’s an easy spot to get to.

I’m going to have to figure out that shading trick. Great writeup! Thanks!!

The rules say that they are open to anything sold as a kayak. And propulsion can be paddle, pedal, pole, and motors.
I happen to have a kayak with a trolling motor mounted on the back. It also has an anchor system and rod holder. I built it just to see if I could, but now it’s taking up space in my garage. Wonder if anyone down there would be interested in it?

I wonder if a compromise is in order?!!
I agree that almost anything besides “real-world data captured in the past few months” is going to be suspect in Venice. Just too much stuff moving around. Apart from some of the canals and channels that are always there, that is.
But, I don’t have access to GED while on the boat. So, if I’m out there and looking for something that I didn’t plan beforehand, it might be nice to have a tool on the boat that shows where some stuff “might” be. Sure, if it shows a ledge, that ledge may or may not be there. But, at least it’s given me one piece of data that I didn’t have before.
Which, I think goes towards one of the underlying messages of your entire instructional series, Devin. We cannot see everything that is happening under the surface. We have to gather as much data as we can – satellite photos, depth charts, historical charts, lookback features in GED, knowledge of migration patterns, knowledge of what fish are eating at a certain time of the year (or month!), etc.
This is one more piece of data. I can use it if I want to, or not. But, I’d rather have data and ignore it than not have it at all.

This is one of the best tips I’ve seen in a while. Thanks!

For whatever, reason, the SE quadrant of it has worked better than other sides. One time, tide was going in, so you’d think the fish would be on the north side, sitting in the eddies behind the rig. Nope – they were all on the southeast.
Another time, we were killing trout on the SE side and there were 4 other boats around the rig and none of them were catching a thing. They eventually crowded us, so we left (with a full fishbox).
Oh, and we use live shrimp on a carolina rig on the bottom. Even when I marked clouds of trout hovering in the middle of the water column (at 10ft, in 20ft of water), they weren’t interested in hitting things on a cork, buy slammed stuff on the bottom. Never heard of fish “feeding down”, but I’m not out there every day.

Most importantly, how was your weekend?!!
But, while it is a great setup, it takes a little while when I get to the launch. Put the motor on, hook up the battery, put fishing pole in the boat, etc. Frankly, it takes me just about as long to launch my boat. And I can walk around in that!

Failure incoming! hahaha
I’ll make sure to keep good notes about what is where.

Thanks for the input, Devin. I think I will try it out. We arrive Thursday, so I may just try it out in the middle of the day before we try it “for real” the next morning. And I’ll just cruise slowly. It’s only 3.5 miles, so I don’t mind puttering down it for 30 min.

Correct.

Here is a map of where they are NOT allowed in the eastern part of the state.

Wanna see something crazy? Open the “22k Redfish” document first. This is a visual representation of all the redfish that are killed per year as bycatch. Each picture of a fish represents 1000 fish in the real world. To put that into perspective, if you go fishing for both days per weekend, every weekend, for 2 years . . . you’d only catch 832 redfish (under current limit regs). So, another way to think of those little pictures of fish is that each fish represents 2 full years of fishing for the most avid Louisiana fisherman. Basically, every year they kill as many fish as it would take a person an entire lifetime of fishing to catch.
Now, remember that 51.5 million redfish whose food is taken every year? And you know how each picture of a fish = 2 years of fishing for someone? Open the second document. How many people’s lives are represented there? How many weekend trips with your kids? How many sunsets with your wife? How many early mornings with your dad?
(Spoiler for those that can’t open them now – the 22k document is a single page with not even 3 whole rows of fish, 8 fish per row, or 22 fish. The 51m document is 258 pages, with every page full of 25 rows with 8 fish per row (200 fish per page)).
