Thanks for this, I’ll share my plan later tonight. I’m going to try to fish Friday and Saturday so I should be able to give you my report before you go. I’m going to head down the SW Pass and hit those spillways.

I was looking at my hard baits yesterday wondering why no one has been mentioning them.

For plan redfish, I never do live anymore, my buddy and I killed it on dead shrimp on a matrix shad, any darker color with a yellow tail.

Some of the guys said that the winds shouldn’t be a problem, but it looks like you’ll be running from some thundershowers, not a deal killer.

When I go down next weekend, I’m going to stay in a hotel down there the night before because it’s such a long day and the ride home is so hard.

I’m sure Capt Devin will chime in, he said the other day that the path through Zin Zin might be dicey. The guys who know that area were telling me that the river might be the best route.

This is a cool map, thanks.

Nice report, thanks. I may hit Venice next weekend. What are these “spillways”? aAre they just cuts in the rocks to the open water? I have some marked with obstructions for a post last year from Devin

[mschultz304]

Thanks for the report. What are you calling the mouth of the SW Pass? Is that where it splits into three? I’m asking because I’m trying to figure out of I have to run all the way down to the end and that’s a long way for my 18 foot War Eagle with a 90 Yamaha. The spillways you mentioned, those are just cuts in the rocks? I have a bunch of those marked where they have shallow obstructions from a post from Devin last year. I just haven’t made that run yet

[mschultz304]

Nice report, thanks. I think I’ll hit the trestles Tuesday as I worked all weekend and the winds look like they’re laying down Tuesday

[mschultz304]

I’m already looking at the weather for this week and it looks like we’re getting that drop Wednesday, but with crazy high winds. I’m going to try to squeeze my workweek into four days and head down to Venice Thursday night to fish Friday and Saturday. Looks like the winds are going to die down.

We’re five days away, so a lot could change

Made a good call not going down to Lake Robin and that way, I talked to three different boats and they struggled to catch even a handful of keeper trout. Got a bunch of 11 and 12 inch ones.<div>I realized the area I was in (Lake Batola)was not gonna be a trout area after about an hour so we switched to plan redfish. We ended up a pretty good day with six of them, three of them were over 24 inches. </div><div>I need to do my report</div>

I just checked the rain chances and Saturday we’re gonna be running around thunder showers and Sunday looks like a watch out. I want to go to Venice when I can spend the whole weekend there in fish both days, so I’m just gonna do Delacroix this weekend

[mschultz304]

Of course now my trolling motor is in the shop, so I’ll be without that and have to use the old fashioned anchor. Maybe drifting in the river in Venice might be easier.

[mschultz304]

That’s good to know, I may do Venice anyway

[mschultz304]

Thanks, I fished the jump and Colette so I’m going down this weekend I’m gonna venture out a little bit. I’ll do a plan Thursday night or Friday, based on the wind and tied and get feedback from everybody.

[mschultz304]

Yep, that would have been the better move……

[mschultz304]

Got it! Thanks

[mschultz304]

Thanks man! I’m done talking, I’m doing Venice this weekend!
