Great trip! Thanks for the report! Think the tide could have been a factor on the afternoon bite turning on?
-
Dang man. Tough one. I’m sure you’ll get em next time. At least it sounds like your navigational homework was solid in a newer to you area?
-
Roger that. Food for thought: adding some filter capability to the search would be pretty slick – date, area, target species. Search already way better than FB, so I’m appreciative of that.

Final as-built survey reportedly still pending, but should be at or around:
30deg15’15.91”, 89deg57’55.76”
Or definitely within the rectangle of:
30deg15’12.44”, 89deg58’01.76”
30deg15’19.30”, 89deg57’50.10”
30deg15’14.77”, 89deg57’49.00”
30deg15’16.98”, 89deg58’02.86”
Hadn’t put into GED yet – how’s it look? How was your guess?
One aerial shot of the location shows a nice tide line right at the location.

Seems like a good plan to me. All I can offer is that I flew over a bit west of there coming in from offshore yesterday and the water seemed dirty, but it was a bit overcast. Check for satellite imagery this evening – hopefully we get a good image with clear skies forecast today – maybe this will influence your plan.

And certainly not looking to debate – I don’t feel strongly one way or the other about CCA – but just one first hand data point regarding CCA: I have personally observed that LDWF relies heavily upon CCA as a source of information for angler input to preferred reef locations.

I think I have a contact for this. Will report back tomorrow.

Didn’t hear back yesterday. Hopefully Monday

Awesome!!

Any preference between reds and trout? In general, I like the Ludwig plan best of those three options – you’ve got the rock jetties, both fifi and the island to the west of it, and the marsh west of the launch as options. Hit the rocks and islands for trout, hit that marsh off Grand Isle for reds. I do think there are trout to be had from kayak from Grand Isle Marina. Not sure where exactly you’re talking about for the bridge launch, but sounds like it’s to the west and marsh focused – if the wind is really 15-20mph from the north or you’d like to focus on reds, this might be the best option.

Great trip! And thanks for the report. Anxious to get down there next week!

Maybe share your email and then delete after I reach out? Cliff and I exchanged numbers – I’ll get yours via email and start a text from there.

Hey Matthew, I do have a VHF. Haven’t tested the range. Could be interesting to try. I wonder how many inshore boats monitor VHF continuously. It’s a very rare bite that I’d call someone in – often seems when someone hops over from 20-30min away, the bite has fizzled by arrival. I’m more thinking we check in once or twice a day with general patterns – birds to the east, trout on the rocks, trout deep, etc.

Hey Devin, I received some follow up caveats from the guy who shared this. So we’ll see how they compare when LDWF publishes. Coordinates probably fine on the forum, but suggest they not be included in a newsletter or anything like that.

Lol!
