cool, thanks! I like that idea

[mschultz304]

Nice report, thanks.

[mschultz304]

How do you like that white craw? I threw it the other day and the only hit I got was once when a red basically caught it on the fly, it never came up when it hit. I’m thinking maybe that I’m not letting it sink enough and maybe it’s acting like a top water bait

[mschultz304]

I am in the same boat, pun intended, getting ready to fish Venice this year and not nervous, but wary. Thanks, I may do this too.

I see you have to have a paid subscription for texting. Are you getting that, or are you using it primarily so you can see where you’re at and give directions for getting back or for Seat Tow to come get you?

It was a grind this weekend everywhere, you did good going home with dinner.

[mschultz304]

A grind, but a good meat haul. Same day as I had in Delacroix. I’ll eat the hell of them catfish, can’t beat it.

[mschultz304]

Happy Jacks used to be my home base for years when I lived in Belle Chasse. We go down there once in a while when the water in Delacroix is really low or we just want a change of pace. You’re in the right areas, those camps will turn on any time now.

Sounds like you got those kids interest piqued, keep up the good work. Women and children on boats is exhausting, but it’s a labor of love.

[mschultz304]

I’m in! Let me know how to pay for my spot

[mschultz304]

Thanks for that awesome report. I’m in the same boat, pun intended, as I’m going to start fishing Venice this year. I only have a 90 Yamaha on an 18′ boat, so I’m not sure how far down the south west pass I can get. I’m going to do like you did and just play the conditions and learn the area.

I’ve been down some of those canals that lead out to like Fleur And and Yankee Pond, and that’s a safe run on a windy I think. I hear you don’t trout out that way but you do catch reds.

It’s only going to keep getting better moving forward

[mschultz304]

Nice day! I’d take that anytime.

[mschultz304]

I didn’t know about this, how’d I miss the memo?

[mschultz304]

I think I saw you. You were by yourself in a green metal hull boat? I was in a camouflage War Eagle with 3 guys in my boat. We fished the south side of Lake Lery starting at daybreak.

Pretty much the same story. We fished those cuts in the south side of the lake and with 3 mines in the water we put two keepers in the boat and lost 2 others. Broke my heart when he broke my hook

I need to do my report, I’m just gasping for air at work

[mschultz304]

I have an 18 1/2 foot, so I’m there with you. I’ve fished the river a few times and those wakes can rock your world, you just have to watch for them. Some of them are very latent, and you forget that 15 minutes ago barge passed, ad all of a sudden you’re surfing. Just awareness. One of the guys posted a pretty safe route for smaller boats a couple weeks ago, I’ll look for it and repost it

[mschultz304]

Great, please do. I work for myself and although my boss is an asshole, I can usually get off any time I want.

[mschultz304]

Limited out today with my buddy. Got my tolling motor fixed and could travel. Only caught two on the south side of Lake Lery and caught the rest in that area between Lery and Lost Lake. Doing a report now.
