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.

Every rod is different. I use medium fast.

Thank you for the valiant efforts!

I watched part of it today. Thank you!

Completed. Sent from every email I’m associated with including my wife’s. I think my buddy Andrew Godley may be giving a speech. Not sure if it’s this meeting or not.

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.

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.

Yes it was Tiger Shoals. I caught fish throughout the day on Wednesday. On Thursday we caught in the morning and the bite definitely died at noon with the tide.

I positioned the boat down current of the fish casting out of the front of the boat when I was by myself. This allows the bait to come to them in a natural way. When I had people in the boat I did similar but positioned it where a little off to the side of them so we could fish more comfortably out of the side of the boat.

Btw the reds were caught around oyster bayou,
