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.

Late summer early fall. Really once the river at Butte Larose starts to get below 9ft , it’s gets better and better as the river drops. It gets good to the west of Burns point first. Do some exploring there. I heard reports of people catching now.

How did it go John? The wax lake delta offers awesome red fishing a little later in the year. Although it’s probably pretty good now with the river being low. I’ve never fished the east of the delta. The fishing to the west is really good If you can find the Burns point boat launch. You can put the boat down and pretty much beat the bank from the launch heading west.

It’s been very hit and miss this year. I did pretty good in November while the fish were transitioning in. Obviously something is up this year. My last 4 trips were not even worth reporting. I fished by some of the guides my last two trips out and didn’t see them catch many. In fact my last trip out the guide cut his trip short and headed back to the launch at 8:00. I know bc I was right behind him.

Yes it is definitely a run. Roughly 40 miles to the inlet whether I put in at Burns Pt. St. park on the coast or put in at Morgan city and run the river. I’ll probably never go due the distance. I always heard of the area turning on there earlier being east of river. I’m just to the west and it’sucks until it gets below 9ft att B. Larose
The fishing in V. Bay has been very lackluster. The guides are even struggling bad. Most hung it up for the year. Some say it was bad water from the river dump. Others say it was the freeze. My last trip out only yielded this trophy.. lol. Look at the size comparison of the 3” matrix.

I have an Aftco Reaper. Very cost effective at $109. I have the pullover and just bought my wife the reaper jacket. It’s lightweight blocks the wind and has a built in neck gator.

The chip is pretty good for only $50. It’s definitely worth it. As with any chip and new area, extreme caution must be taken. Some of the reefs are not shown on GED due to our water clarity not being the greatest. I know the area well and have done my research on GED. Plenty of reefs do not show on the historical timeline. Here is a screenshot of some of the reefs from my chip

I also suggest getting a reef chip from Cajun mapping before trying to get to diamond reef. There are many reefs before you get to diamond. Pavy reef is the first reef about 2 miles to the east and Tbutte is about 2 miles to the west.

The trout are moving into the bay slowly. I caught Sat.,Sunday, and Wed. at various points on the north side of Marsh Island. Bayou Michael, Michael Point to name a few spots. Look for primary points with the most tide movement. I fished the incoming tide all three days. Fish a 4-horseman popper with a 36” leader, and a 1/16” death grip jig head. Almost any color plastic works. The 1/16”jig is key. They are sold at Dagos in Lydia. I find I don’t catch much at diamond this time of year. I’d focus on TButte and Pavy at the mouth of the pass. Position your boat to where you can cast into 3-4 ft of water. The reefs are big. I mostly focus on the ends of the reef. It’s a high er percentage area of the reef for me.

Exactly what I wanted to hear. The tatula is number one on my list right now.
