Wow, excellent report – very clear and detailed, many thanks!
P.S. The big trout is a beast!

Great report – and a pretty solid morning catch, thanks for posting!

Excellent report, thanks! This is one of my favorite areas, and it’s good to hear there are some good fish turning up. I’ve managed a few keepers myself in recent weeks, but last year was almost all dinks, starting with the brown shrimp run in May to the end of the summer season.

Good report, thanks!

Thinking about going to the Creole Gap, Flatboat Key, Isle au Pitre area tomorrow, then down toward Door Point and maybe search for tripletail on the way back. It’s big water, but the EBM is still producing lots of throwbacks, not sure what to expect…

Welcome Jason!

I’ve found a few on some small wrecks between 25 and 35 feet deep in northeast Chandeleur Sound, not too far inside the northern tip of the Chandeleur islands. I love to go out there in summer after chasing trout in the east Biloxi Marsh in the mornings. Snapper and tripletail fishing is something that can be done in the afternoons when the trout bite is over for the day – but these spots are something like 15 miles ESE of Grand Pass. They’re inside the islands, but not really inshore. There are some old oilfield structures in Chandeleur Sound that might hold snapper in the summer and fall. These are much closer – 5 to 7 miles out in the Sound, east of Deepwater Pass, or ESE of Door Point. I’ve never checked these for snapper, but they’d be good habitat if the water is suitable. I think the key is salinity. They’re under every dock in Florida, in shallow mangrove creeks and grass flats, but those areas are directly connected the ocean…

Really good idea!

Solid trip – and tripletail in the lake on April 27, very cool…

Wow, epic day!
I fished Lake Borgne myself today – the northern part – and released a limit including two 21” beasts along with a 20” and 19” fish. Will post a report, but looks like I’ve already been outdone… 🙂 👍🏼

Great trip – and great report, thanks! It’s good to see such a positive report – good numbers of really solid fish, well done!

Welcome! Like yourself, I’ve been an angler for many, many years- and am amazed at what I have learned here, so I think you’ll find it very worthwhile – and fun!

You might also try VIIRS Today: https://ge.ssec.wisc.edu/viirs-today/
This won’t make the clouds go away, but the VIIRS imagery is somewhat better than MODIS, and both VIIRS satellites are actually online every day. VIIRS uses the exact same web interface as MODIS, so there’s no learning curve…
