    What you saw was a black drum.

    There’s no tripletail in Louisiana.

    KAPEEESH?!?!

  • This should be a pinned post for newer members. Great job finding your own fish!

    From top to bottom

    4 horse cork

    Palomar knot

    12-15″ of 20lb mono

    Split shot weight

    12-15″ of 20 lb mono

    Palomar

    Vudu / Marker 54 shrimp

    The weight in the middle of the line is a carryover from my days using live bait as it helps keep the shrimp in the intended strike zone but why I use it now is because when casting it acts like a trebuchet and allows me to cast further and more accurate and also avoids the tangles I used to get when throwing a setup without a weight.

    Try it out on your next outing, you’ll never go back.

    This is one thing Devin and I will never agree on.

    I can feel when the pressure drops. I’m tired when it falls and can feel it in my joints. When the pressure rises I can feel it in my sinuses and right behind my eyes and have headaches.

    Fish have to be affected by the same forces.

    I used to log every fish into a database marking wind / temps / pressure /moon / tide / etc. I had my own analytics company and so I had so cool tools at my disposal.

    When I finally started graphing the data, it was very telling. 1015 and 1016 hpa were at the top of the standard distribution curve.

    There’s old theories that suggest fish are programmed to eat as the pressure drops as it’s a precursor to nasty weather which will muddy the water making finding food more difficult.

    I don’t know.

    I ran the data myself and it said fish low pressure.

    Maybe the distribution followed the standard distribution range of pressures and so I was correlating the wrong fields, I dunno. But I’m pretty sure I cross referenced it by days on the water so who knows.

    We had a similar day on Sunday and in the same spot. I swapped up the Vudu I was using for the shrimplet and they responded better to a smaller profile. I assume its because it resembled more of a minnow. They also seemed to hug the bank and points very close.

    I love it when a nice boat pulls up into my drift line and then has something to say. I just start using sign language and speaking like I’m deaf. It immediately makes them feel dumb. Then when I depart, I drop the act completely with a “SEE YOU GUYS!” and a dueces to the sky as I hit the throttle.

    Probably 70% I was getting them in 3-4 ft. Of water either as soon as it hit the water or bouncing it back. The other 30% I was also throwing into 8-10 ft. channel and dragging it up a ledge, they’d hit it right around that 3-5 ft. range.

    This guy is an oysterman down in PAC. He’s my barometer on shrimp. These look like brown with some white mixed in.

    The Midwest.

    Nice people, but I die everytime I travel there.

    I actually visited CPRA up in BR back in the day. Cool place.

    CA is a constant salesman but he’s also a very sucessful guide. Here’s his take on it.

    Some research on gobies as it relates to goby.
