I used to be a big Shimano guy, especially the japanese made old school curados. The new stuff from Malaysia is junk. I picked up some Abu Garcia reels from Professional in the CBD(great used selection of rods and reels HIGHLY recommend) New Orleans and have bought another one since. Just puts up with a ton of abuse and still casts amazing.
6’6″ medium heavy action Castaway
Abu Garcia Max 4 STX Low Profile
Here’s why. These pool noodle medium fast feel great and have good action but my experience is a trout bites, you set the hook creating a parobolic bow in the rod and then it snaps back and creates this slack allowing the hook to unset and the fish to get away.
With a medium heavy, one flick of the wrist and you can set the hook and the trout stays pinned. Also good backbone for the occasional red or gator trout.

Great report on the pulse of that area right now. It’s strange. I have seen shrimp reports everywhere along the lakefront but there doesn’t seem to be the trout following them yet. I went out a couple days ago and got skunked, like hard. Need a couple good fronts to come through to drop the temp imho. All the trout I’ve caught in the past month have been near the Gulf on grassbeds. I’m gonna keep on that pattern until it stops working.

Florida bucket list fish for me, along with snook & tarpon.

Hello

You should’ve taken that bass, cut it in half, gone to unknown pass and picked up a shark, and won the other category.
Old man Fitzmorris went full boomer and posted a pic of his 2nd place $500 check. Edit that thing and e-deposit it into your account.
It’s not over till it’s over!

I think the beach bite is very early, concentrated, and you gotta keep drifting and rounding the point until you find them. If you remember we were about to bounce when we tripled up, and the same thing happened when we went in May, went to pull the trolling motor and smashed them. I would’ve kept the ladies and spanish for snapper bait and hit the rigs we went to 1st.
If the weather was good this weekend, I would be trying SW Pass and then run to the natural bottom outside the pass for snapper or where @DrillNFill found them 2nd day.
My next fishing opportunity will likely be 3rd weekend of October so I’ll be hitting up one of you guys to go prior. Should be going off by then with the rest of Louisiana.
TT do exist and now that you’ve seen him you will never not look for them.

@McLovin seriously tho, awesome report. Get me your details somehow and I’ll get you a free coon pop. Hooks them right in the button at the top of the mouth. I keep one on me at all times.

I like take a huge crank of my vape, turn my flatbill sideways and crank my bluetooth speaker to full max, blast a banger, take the cowling off the motor to let her sing, and LED spotlight blind everyone at the launch and on the water. Just show them the same respect they show everyone else. Let them know this is private property water and theys trespassin’
That being said, typically I don’t run into duck ponds unless I’m stalking reds, and you need good sunlight imho to do that.

NGL, I’m kinda glad more of those gen-z kids aren’t into fishing. I couldn’t deal with the pump 7 naseau, squatted trucks pulling mud boats, flat bills, sitka, and spot jocking. Hunting has changed a ton since I was their age. Seems to be dominated by dbags now.

Sounds good. I’m gonna get a final headcount for the 2nd house tomorrow and will take into account you and your boys.

Hit me up. I’m gathering names and funds now to lock down the place.
