Tough day.
Once I knew the trolling motor was out I would’ve B-lined to where Chef meets the Lake and started on a drift. Same could be done at Treasure Island point as there is a massive hole there.
You need that moving water for a good bite.

If its on your boat it’s self reported. You just need to provide proof of boat registration, title, or other ownership documents.
If it was on another boat, the captain will have to sign off on a CG-719S.
Are you gonna start chartering or just want to level up your license?
Heres a format you could use to submit your time on your own vessel:
U.S. Coast Guard Small Vessel Sea Service Form (Self-Reported)

There is nothing better than getting a nice little fishing session in before work.

Since late September people have been catching massive shrimp in Lake Ponchartrain on the seawall. I can go out right now and catch 10 lbs easy. I think 2 weeks of strong east wind have pushed them deep into the lake. I saw some at Catherine last week and a friend of mine has been going to catch them every weekend with his family at his camp near Treasure Island so they are here. @Boyce has been seeing shrimp boats stacked on the causeway too. The lake is back baby.

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!

So from what I have been hearing is the fish only want jumbo sized shrimp lately.
Typically I’ve only seen that when there is so much shrimp around that they don’t mess around with the typical bait store size.
I’ve also seen reports of people fishing birds in the lake but no trout to be found even though they see the shrimp surfacing.
I think it’s easy pickens for trout in the lake. They’re not in a frenzy. I think they’re chilling on the bottom of the current in a feeding pattern just waiting for their meal to come to them.

You gotta click the picture.

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.
