I’m open to reasonable offers. This thing is just sitting and needs a new owner.

Garmin inreach mini 2 or 3! The 2’s are on sale bc the 3’s just came out not long ago.

Nothing shabby about that trip. Seems like you learned something which is most important. Getting up early is key right now. It’s not as important in the deeper water but very relevant now. I fished out there on the 3rd. Pretty much same playbook as yours. The fish are deep right now and will be for the next month with this high river water and heat. It is sure nasty out there.

We had 75 by 9am probably in the same area as yall fished.

I have 2 Simrad NSS4s and like them. They have the new Neon operating system which is lightning fast. Zero lag when zooming in or out. Simrad and Lowrance are both made by the same company and use the same 3&1 transducer. Side imaging is really good on it as it would be with the HDS. If you want the latest and greatest, I believe Lowrance will have the new operating system at some point in the near future. So you can fork up some coin and get the new model or get the older model at a good discount.

There is no minimum for me. I fish when I can fish, catching is just a bonus. Tough conditions force me try new things and new areas. I always use it as a learning experience. I enjoy being on the water no matter how tough the conditions are.

I find when it’s super hot late summer in shallower water the bite is early. Usually by 9-10 they quit biting and where I fish.

Good video. Looking forward to the next. The focus on the bycatch is important; however I believe the main emphasis needs to be on how important the resource is to the whole ecosystem. It is the main pillar to the whole ecosystem.

Thanks Devin.. it’s too late now. I purchased a new foot and shaft. You can delete it if you want.

I just got a mini 3 for my dad. More for the SOS feature and call center if anything. All he has to do is hold down the SOS button and the call center should do the rest his coordinates

He definitely has a water intrusion problem or filled up and got water from the gas station. Gas with ethanol will absorb water from the atmosphere, but not that quick. I’d also like to note that yes non ethanol gas may sit longer and may not be as “fresh” but you have to think of the much longer shelf life of it vs ethanol.

I used to have a 20’ boat and rarely went out there due to the uncertainty in the weather. I now have a 25’ boat sometimes feel invincible. It’s always best to air on the cautious side. We had to run through pretty bad storm on the way in yesterday. Luckily we just caught the edge of it.

The beauty of it is that you can have unlimited searchable data points to fit your needs or wants.

You can jig anywhere. It’s very productive. The ponchatrain pop is a bit more aggressive than most people use. The key is to figure out what the fish want. Sometimes they want it fast and others slow. They will eat it the same with different presentations on the same day. You just have to figure out what you like and what works for you.

[m2mannina]

Not many reports from our area. Glad to see someone else fishing the bay. Sounds like you have it somewhat figured out. Keep at it. I will provide info when I can.
