Tripletail have been THICK this year in Lake Borgne and Mississippi Sound.
As I have heard you say, success comes from planning, using all the 101 knowledge – plus time on water. This is time on water – great report…

Great day, great report, and great photos – thanks!

Great report, thanks! This is a favorite area of mine as well – it’s in just the right place to be sort of a way station on the migration route, I think. I’m happy to see people fishing the EBM again as well – it’s been mostly small fish for the past 2 or 3 summers, but quality seems to be improving, as you, Devin, and others have proven…

OMG, what an epic creature – and excellent narrative. I have been stuck on 23”, weight unknown, for YEARS – color me inspired…
Congratulations!

Wow, epic trip!!!
What are the size and possession limits for trout in Alabama?

Just a mile east of Grand Island (aka Half Moon) lies the Grand Banks Reef, which should be good this time of year (I caught a few fish there the afternoon of June 2nd, and met some gentlemen who’d been there all day and were just finishing up three limits). Look around on sonar for the reef balls – a good starting spot is about 50-ft. southeast of the buoy…

Excellent report – many thanks.
-
Good report, thanks.
Keep after it – one 24” trout is worth at least two limits of 13-14” fish.
Easy for me to say… which means it’s time to get inspired to chase some larger fish.

Excellent report – thanks!

I guess I need to make a report, but I can corroborate your experience…
I fished the marsh exits on the eastern shore of Lake Borgne (Bayou Biloxi north to False Mouth Bayou) the previous day and basically did nothing. I found cold, muddy water coming out of marsh on the falling tide – I measured 60-62°F – with no sign of the shrimp migration happening at all.

Thanks for the report!
I was fishing the eastern shore of Lake Borgne (Bayou Biloxi north to False Mouth Bayou) that same day and did nothing, so your report looks pretty good to me. You had to work for it, but you had a solid trip…

I haven’t been into the marsh here, but have found fish along the margins of the MRGO here, keeping the boat in navigable depths and fishing in toward the flats and channels along the spoil bank…

Your plan sounds pretty solid, Shooter – good luck tomorrow!
I’m taking my nephew out for trout and tripletail tomorrow, starting around Isle au Pitre and Grand Pass. This might be in your general vicinity, so perhaps I’ll see you out there. I’ll have one heavy rod rigged with a Coon Pop and another with a 5” NLBN K-Tail on a 7/0 weighted swimbait hook, ‘just in case’ they pop up while I’m out running around. I probably should get a Mississippi license so I can actively target tarpon, but for now I’m just trying to be prepared in case the “hope strategy” actually works……

I found a dehydrated white shrimp on my dock in Eden Isles this morning – which only happens when they’re pursued by the bass and redfish who hang out in the dock lights, leap out of the water to escape, but land on the dock and can’t get back. Seeing this way back in the residential canals is a good sign that the white shrimp are becoming active, and your report corroborates this, many thanks!

Was seriously unhappy with my nephew, who did NOT turn up at 0500 as planned… I’d given up when I got a text at 0800 begging forgiveness, but there’s almost no forgiving a lost fishing day. I must be getting kinda soft-headed, though, because after listening to the apology for the third or fourth time I got talked into heading out around noon to try for tripletail – and managed to guide the kid to his first, a beautiful 8-pound fish – but no trout, no real tarpon hunting, and the tripletail only partially offset my grumpy mood. Hopefully I’ll see you on the water next time…
