Congrats on the new job. You contracting again?

Honestly that’s a solid plan.
I’d keep a popping cork handy for birds in the lake and when you make it to the marsh.
Try the northwest end of Lake Eugenie fishing points for trout if you make it there before 9-10.
I have more luck with jigs near the rigs but HDS for the holes and area immediately around the rig and reefs.
Good luck and looking forward to the report.

See Ryan? You should tell your boys deuces on the Grand Isle trip in May and come slay with us.
Also try this spot next time you’re down there looking to sight fish reds.
Not close to Grand Pass but also not far.

***DISCLAIMER: DO NOT LET THIS REPORT DISCOURAGE YOU FROM FISHING THE JUMP FOR TWOUT.***
While I respect the hell out of these guys. They are fresh off a couple crushing defeats delivered by Team Giggalo and this is a rebuilding year for their confidence. Revisit IF:101, specifically Deep Holes.
Keep pushing and tight lines!

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

Nope but I’m not surprised.

They might be a little deeper right now. Go checkout the holes around Rigolets.

Prior experience.
In “theory” the carolina rig allows it to flow in the current giving a natural presentation. Where the dropshot keeps it on the bottom allowing the shrimp/minnow to pop/swim.
I’ll say the standard Lake B/ trestles drop shot will not work. You’ll get bites but no commitment. You could sub out a 2 oz for 1 but when getting to the bottom counts then seconds count.
