    Day 2 second area.

    The outline is the path i took. Ignore the shaded in areas…the yellow path is more or less exacrly where I went. If its really squiggly it means i was in the shallows polling all around. Those areas are total zigzag scenarios.

    I have them on 1/8th ounce deathgrips. The best presentation for me is to work it almost like a jerk bait. Couple of fast sideways twitches, then microsecond pause and reel, twitch again. I did try working it at different speeds and cadences but this was the one that worked.

    I was trying to protect his identity. This report goes out to a very wide audience outside of lafb……..i did assume the it was jeremy and ge just used a G online. But either way J or G works for me.

    Nice! When I used to fish dularge we would hit quick limits of reds right on the canal on the south bank on the way out to lake decade. It was almost a certain thing every trip and we would catch lots of bonus bass.

    Great trip! Btw i saw trout chasing glass minnows out of the water in delacroix last weekend. Probably was what you were seeing.

    Id skip straight ti spot 3. It is one of the most productive spots in port sulphur. Stay on NW corner of the 4 way and fish the oyster bed.

    Before you leave the sulphur canal headed for lake washington there are oyster beds on the north shoreline that I have caught absolute hammer boxes out of.

    The canal just past spot 7 where it dumps out with beds on both sides..mmthe land of milk and honey. Go up into that bayou/canal too and there is more heaven back there.

    I posted a report in the reports section. Wasnt a stellar weekend of fishing but I did catch and I did have a great time and I covered a lot of water.

    I will agree with you. So I have a boat and kayak. I think it is more trouble to launch the kayak than the boat. The main reason being is I put my coolers, rods, tackle, everything in my boat and just back it in the water. On the kayak I have to carry all that shit in the truck then unload it onto the kayak. I have a very good system now but it still probably takes me longer to load and unload the kayak than the boat. Fishing from a kayak is a different experience though. There is something about it that makes it unique. The closeness to the environment, the quiet, the physical limitations of distance. I don’t think I could ever choose one over the other.

    You should throw it up on facebook marketplace. Someone would probably buy it for the right price. Sounds like a decent setup you should use it!

    I saw em working on something. There were a bunch of new steel pilings. The crew boat was running in and out of there too like every 10-15 mins. He wasnt carrying people so maybe he was shuttling some kind of supplies. Anyway it didnt look like there was much structure other than a bunch of vertical piles. I did fish all along the front of the bulkheads going down that way and fished some of the sheet piles on the west side of that facility with no luck.

    I am crawling out of my skin to get to the other end of LA1. Plans have remained the same. Forecast is holding. South wind will be a brisk in the afternoons but mornings should be calm. THe fishing will be Epic. I think over 100 people are signed up and fishing so itll be a great turnout!

    I fished the stripper tournament 2 or 3 years ago and I crossed over there in the afternoon with a southwest wind blowing about 12. That was enough to make me not want to do it in anything any windier for sure. Talk about wide open. In the spring I have drifted the garigue on nice days and caught some nice fish!

    I have snuck some gaftops into the fish fry on those lean days, but I would much prefer to serve trout. Gaftop isnt bad but the trout IS better….plus, I much prefer to target the trout. If all I find in the process is slimers, then so be it.

    Also, I know my posts are long and rambling, but I did in fact mention I was taking the boat. The kayak is a hell no. I have fished some tournaments in the kayak with wind blowing like that but I wouldn’t choose it over the boat in that wind for sure.

    I am very close to saying, f’ work and f’ my paycheck, I am going tomorrow and then I wont have to deal with the wind. I can go to port sulpher and crack em and stack em.
