Yeah, I’m guessing since it was an afternoon trip given the context clues.
High tide was a 4:23AM and sunrise at 6:27. I would’ve tried being out there for first light if trout was the goal or waiting for low tide to switch near 4PM and fished till 6.
Trestles is definitely an option but hitting it at noon, ehhh.
I would’ve either ducked into the ponds around pearl or icw until 4-5 then hit the trestles or Chefs

“i asked him what kind of line he was using. “Straight braid”. Yikes.”<div>
Yikes on bikes
Yikes hard-lemonaid
You did the right thing, friends don’t let friends throw straight braid.
This ain’t the Lakefront in a lawn chair with a frozen market shrimp, and Pokey Bear blasting as you smoke your black and mild.
There’s levels to this shit.

So my buddy went back to BC two days after we slammed them and it was a grind, he went to Cubits, and it was a grind.
That being said, they couldn’t have gone far.
If it were me:
I would try the Jump on HDS by the rig before light. (Side note: Even though the jump hasn’t been jumping, we were still catching them 2 weeks ago, just not smashing them. That could’ve changed here recently.)
Then take main pass to Felice Bayou, fish those cuts off the river (do your homework on safe routes, this area is a graveyard of lower units)
Bouce over to Pass A Loutre. Give that a good drift.
Then head down to Dennis Pass.
If you haven’t limited out at this point I would be surprised but worst case you make a run to the SW Pass wing dams and see where TF these fish hiding.
I usually don’t pinpoint like this (for obvious reasons) but having partially inspired you to step out of your comfort zone I want to see you smash them.
Good luck and looking forward to your report!

Again, following a cold front, falling barometer I have found the fish chew a little more aggressively. Look at the whole picture. Even though 1022mB is on the higher end of the chart it fell substantially.

Mono backing and spool packing to braid then it attaches to any setup, either HDS, doublerig, cork, fluoro leader to jig/jerkbait/corky/top water, etc.
It’s easier to unbacklash, throw, etc. Braid changed the game.
-
I stopped using full spools of fluoro for this reason. Suffix 832 20 lb. braid with 2-3 ft. of fluoro leader and never look back.
You feel the bite, no memory, casts further, etc, etc.

How many you got?

Oh stoppppp

I have never been skunked or regretted a single Venice trip.
Ever.

They ain’t going far I can tell you that.

I remember arguing with you back in the days of the FB group(Nov. 16,.2023 to be exact), like who’s trying to drive 2 hours one way for a limit?
Boy was I naive…

You were missed. Besides Josh with his TT it was pretty neck and neck. No one got dominated. Thais still waiting for your TOTS breakout performance. I think it will happen below 48 degrees.

Those were some hammer trout you had!

Here’s an old fishing map of Delacroix I overlayed with Google earth.
