    I typically catch bull reds in midsummer thru November. I caught two notable ones this season and truth be told, it’s always a surprise when I do. The one on the left was over an oyster bed in Port Sulphur (report is in here I believe) on a Vudu under a popping cork. And the one on the right was fishing lights on the southwest corner of Lake Catherine jigging a Vudu in like 3 feet of water. I’m sure they’re around Borgne but if I wasn’t going to Port Sulphur/MG or Leeville area (which is where I would try and target them), Delacroix would be my next spot. I like 4 ways, points, ponds, and anywhere I see bait working. Good luck!

    “I quit once skin started coming off my jigging hand.”

    Damn, I felt this sentence.

    Heres the problem I have had.

    Sometimes if i fish a double rig, I’ll hook 2 reds. If those reds go in opposite directions, it almost always wishbones the rig.

    I’ve considered doing like a super sabiki for the Trestles.

    Long lining for trout would be willllddddd.

    But I’ll probably never do it…

    So you and I are basically on the same quest. I was not far from there and ran over to Grand Island as well. There was a bait ball about 10-15 ft across. We were running on our way back and didn’t stop but will next time I’m by myself. There’s a dude from Houma that won the tarpon category at the Alabama Deep Sea Fishing Rodeo with 5 “landed” tarpon. His gf has a YT channel, and they actually caught like 12 total running Destin beaches sight fishing them. Over there, it’s like 30 lb test because of the clarity, whereas over here, it’s more like 200 lb because they can get away with it. He caught some earlier this month, and I’ve got a couple of areas where I know they hang out, so if you want to link up, I stay rigged for tarpon.

    Whats crazy is I probably hooked 5-7(using a fast action rod for a while and it didnt have enough backbone) and lost them on the way back to the boat, but TBH I don’t like cleaning tons of fish and my soft cooler was already full.

    It was a good one. Hopefully I can get down to Venice before its time to go back to work. 😉

    100% right. I’ve been fishing most of my life, moved here around a dozen years ago and I was stuck on 19.5″ and lost some 20+ at the boat so today was extra special. I have had a couple of epic days of consistent 18-19″ and my experience is the big trout stick together. This pic was this time of year 2 years ago. Its like when you find that school, you can’t miss. Hopefully conditions continue to foster big trout and 22″ will be my old record.

    Oh I certainly thought it. But then the thought of a jumping 6 ft tarpon COMPLETELY erased any doubt I had.

    When I get that 6 ft ladyfish I’ll be sure to detail the whole thing.
