Nice, and I like that area, that’s the area we do the best in. I almost went up that way but I wanted to try a new area, and by the time 9:30 rolled around I didn’t feel like running all the way over there and find no water moving. Didn’t have the grind in me today

Glad you guys killed it

[mschultz304]

Thanks for reporting. That storm kicked all our asses as we all knew it would, but I’m like, just get out there. I’ve had days that look horrible that end up being productive. It’s all more productive than sitting on the couch

[mschultz304]

Awesome! Thanks for the reply. I’m going to watch that video for sure. I started to try to sight fish, in fact I still have two pairs of glasses, one blue and one amber, in my bag. I never committed to it but I need to. I think once I see a couple and know what to look for, it’ll be easy.

One follow question: Who fishing the canals that go down to like 7-9 feet, do you jig the bottom or fish the column? Like cast from the side of the canal to the middle, and then drag up to the shallower water. Or vice versa? Or do they even sit in those canals?

There’s plenty of grass out there, I’m pumped. I may chase some trout to start the day this weekend and go out to like Black Bay, but definitely doing the Texas rig

Great report, thanks. I almost tried the long rocks but stayed inside and worked like a dog for a couple of reds and a few yellow cats.

I think we all have a friend like that, he wants to fish but it’s more about being on the boat than actually catching fish. It’s tough when the day is a grind

[mschultz304]

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, nothing substitutes for TOW. And it was tough, tough conditions yesterday, we knew that going in.

[mschultz304]

No, we didn’t try Bayou Duhe, after Mandeville we wanted to get back to more familiar territory.

We fished a couple of the openings on the south side but didn’t really fish the canals. Not sure what you mean by running against it.

Your report sounds like mine, although I did plan redfish from the start. No clean water anywhere. I was in Delacroix, and I saw tow other boats all day.

What were you throwing in the ponds for those redfish? I tried a white craw to no avail, but I wish I had packed a spoon. The ponds have so much grass in them this time of year. We just threw a jig with plastic and a piece of shrimp on it under a cork after a couple hours, I just got tired of throwing with that wind

[mschultz304]

Thanks. That’s what I thought but I was just looking for confirmation. I’m going to launch at dark on Saturday and not waste any daylight.

[mschultz304]

And I got my Texas Rigs set up! Looking for those grass mats

[mschultz304]

That’s what I thought, just wanted to make sure I wasn’t leaving anything on the table in those canals. There’s a couple spots where like to pull out some yellow cats, I can eat those all day.

[mschultz304]

Let me get a follow up on fishing those ponds when they’re full of grass. Should I be using a gold spoon? The redfish spinner baits with the spoon get all tangled up in the grass. Should I just drop jigs into the clear spots? What about those craws, I started throwing that because those things get through the grass pretty well.

Is these a course that covers that specifically? I remember seeing it touched on.

[mschultz304]

I was throwing one of those yesterday, didn’t throw it today. Yeah, the wo I caught today were right up on the bank. I think when it’s rough and dirty you have hit them right on top of the head with it

[mschultz304]

interesting

[mschultz304]

Oh, thanks. I know where that is, I thought you guys were talking about Lake Borgne

[mschultz304]

where is Main Pass Beach? Between St. Malo and Fort Proctor?
