Thanks for the report. I’ve been out of town for a week and I was thinking about launching at Bonnabel and hitting Seabrook and if nothing’s happening there I’ll go to the trestles. Maybe even hit the Causeway if the water is a little rough, instead of going to the trestles

Great reports! Thanks

Oh man! One of those days, we’ve all had them. Those types of days are the ones where only the guides and long term fishermen of Delacroix come back with fish. When that wind is ripping and the tide is ripping and it’s been that way for a few days, that water gets like chocolate and it’s just a fight. I’m using my sonar to keep finding more and more deeper holes because I think I days like that the fish go deeper. That’s my theory anyway. I plan on fishing more Hopedale as winter comes in, because I remember how low the water gets in Delacroix during the winter. I’m not giving up on Delacroix, I’ll put my boat at Sweetwater starting in March again, but I’m going fish Venice and Hopedale more this winter than Delacroix.
Thanks for posting

That’s a nice one! I hope to get. a few hammers this weekend
-
I caught a 19″ in Venice just last weekend……….so of course I’m going back this weekend!

I did ok in the river right outside the jump. Like you said, water wan’t super and they weren’t jumping in the boat, butt he action was fairly steady for us. We were only out there from about 2:30pm to 4:30pm. I didn’t talk to anyone else but there were a lot of boats out there and I saw people pulling up a lot of fish both in the Jump and in the river
-
It was about 12-14 feet deep. I would have tried a 2oz but then you get stuck on the bottom every other cats and spend half the time tying up new rigs. The 1oz was probably the right one.
I had typed out this report that night and wondered why I didn’t see any responses, but just realized today that I forgot to hit post

I was at Delacroix today, it was a grind. We kept 3 black drums that were like 20″, one trout, and threw back a couple rats reds and one 27.5″ red. We were on the water for6 hours, no one else was doing any better. I think it’s still too close to the cold snap
-
I actually think we would have done better in the river. Right as you come out of the Jump you go straight across to the east side of the river and they’ve been killing it there last weekend and this weekend. Big trout
-
For reds we usually throw up against shorelines where there’s moving water. Delacroix is always good for redfish, the south side of Lake Lery where some bayous/canals are have been producing lately from what I hear. We just look for bayous with moving water
-
Even better. Thanks!
-
Thanks, I thought I was crazy. I always hesitate to go up to Lake Lery because if it’s not happening there then it’s a long way back. Did you find them in the southwest corner? It’s usually either there or on those cuts on the south edge
-
I’m going duck hunting in Buras next weekend and we’ll be done by 9am so I’m going to bring my boat down there to fish afterwards. I’ll probably go out of Venice and keep it simple, do the Jump and the river around Baptiste Collette, and then go into Bayou Baptise Collette for some reds.
-
I agree, maybe we should have grinded it out more or changed techniques. What was weird though was that the birds were real skittish and moved spots quickly and then finally disappeared. Also, there was only one other boat there, which I found odd because everyone knew they had been killing it there the days before.

Sorry I just saw this. Thanks for all the feedback.
I was throwing a matrix shad rainbow colored under a cork and my buddy was throwing live under a cork. I would have jigged but I only had 1/2 ounce jig heads and the tide was ripping so they would have floated. My cork was sideways.
