Tough trip, but thanks for posting. That’s concerning you didn’t see anything on the graph at the reef – a sign post to putt around looking or adjust settings on sonar – you should definitely see some significant bottom cover.

Awesome! Glad yall got em!

I’m about to type up a report on Friday and Saturday around the island – check it out for what it’s worth. I tried to peak out on the beach side at caminada, barataria, and one of the passes farther east around 4-bayou. Water was dirty and too rough for my taste, but conditions looked good from the road while I was leaving the island today. I think you’re probably right that things are clearing up/settling down with calmer conditions the past couple days.
Not sure if you’re on facebook – but ‘Elmer’s Flash Report’ this morning was good. I’d say stick with your plan – try Elmer’s.

LDodson, I’ll be down 5/28 – 5/31 (and again the following week). Let me know if you want to exchange intel.
Rocks 1 and 2 are the right thinking if the wind continues to be problematic out of the south or east. Those can really be quite a few spots that you check out quickly. I really like Rocks 2 closer to the pass/bridge around tide change.
Anywhere there are rocks around the island continuing to the east and the next island over (Grande Terre) are possibilities.
Point 1 looks so good that I’ve tried it and the smaller point just to the east many times without luck. I’ve run around that whole area behind Elmer’s Island in tough conditions without much luck – maybe you’ll figure something out that I haven’t though. Birds do tend to work between Point 1 and Rocks 1.
Good luck!

Well done, and thanks for the report! What was your strategy for the snapper (how far out, target water depth, bait)? I’d really like to try that off my bay boat one day the weather is nice.

Awesome man! Congrats!!! I’m sure you’ll never forget that one.

Great trip! Thanks for posting! I’ve been on fishing hiatus too long – will be down in Grand Isle 5/28 – 6/7.

I’m on Windows 11. Having trouble logging in from the laptop. On from phone now. I’ve never had issues from laptop before.

That’s around the time reports moved from a Facebook group to this forum, so Yes, I believe that’s about as far back as available.

Interested in first comment here. So no concern with spending time with a heavy drop shot in the pass at peak tide (~1.8’ range that day)? I’ve been operating with the thought of staying away from the pass during peak tide, fishing elsewhere, and focusing on the pass closer to tide change.

Thanks jamason, you might be braver than I am making that run if the forecast holds, but I’ll keep this in mind. How are you going about identifying oyster reefs? This doesn’t seem to be an area they are well marked with PVC. I’ve tried marking a few potential from Google Earth but have come up empty for the most part.

Thanks Shooter!

Acting up again this evening (windows 11, chrome):

Worked today no problem. Might have been a one off yesterday. It was saying something to the effect of ‘website not secure.’ I was on other sites, so I don’t think it was a local, internet issue.
