Last time I fished long rocks most of the bites were off the rocks at least 10 to 15 yards. 6-9ft depth.

It’s the same way when bass spawn. You will have a couple days when the females move up on the beds lay their eggs and kill anything that comes close. Then they move off for the males to protect the eggs the females will go in deeper water not far from their beds. Something I notice too is the bigger trout hold their eggs longer. Some of the smaller trouts egg sacs look close to being empty but that could be from having smaller egg sacs. Main reason to release bigger trout.

After counting fish before I cleaned them found 10 trout in there! I must have forgot to count one, one reason I normally count them before going back to the boat launch if I have my limit.

Ive been working by holly beach and usually surf fish evenings after work, I have yet to catch in the surf in the last couple weeks.

Yeah, I’m really wasn’t planning on fishing today, I’ve been working outside all week and moving and remodeling and had one of those moments where you say f everything I’m going fishing. But I’m also still getting use to what I can and can’t do in my boat.

Nice!

Before the new creel limit on redfish I seen one charter captain out of Cocodrie kill the bow fishing record for redfish. Can’t release it back and can’t eat it. What was a bragging rights for this captain should have really been a disgrace. Louisiana Sportsman wrote an article on the record. When we stop rewarding this type of behavior we will see change. Regardless of what WLF commission make in regulations the mind set of “keep what you need, throw back the rest” needs to happen.

I hate fishing the HDS! I’ve caught fish on it, its great in when catching on a jig head just isn’t happening, but you can do too much with it too! sometimes it is just throwing it out and waiting for a bite. let the current do all the action. but also reel in your slack if your bait comes back to you, which could mean you need to use more weight. ( the reason I hate it, is because I really haven’t spent the time doing it as much as I should, and its probably because I don’t always keep a drop shot rigged up ready to go. its always the after thought method for me.)

some times the best way to learn a method of fishing is spend a day just fishing one method. BUT pick places where the Method would work BEST. example don’t go to the long rocks and throw a drop shot. go to a rig or bridge piling in 10-40ft of water. or a deep hole off a bend in a bayou or river.

I find white works a lot for me too! Any more details? How many you catch? was it in a community spot? island? Rig? inside the marsh? How was the weather? How was the water clean/Dirty?

I think so, good tide today, I lost 3 or 4 legal sized trout at the boat this morning and had a few male undersized trout caught.

Maybe I shouldn’t have posted that sentence, not trying to shun anyone.
