That’s a pretty epic report. Great job!

Beat Down outdoors has one that I like but it’s $600+ what I like about it is the ability to spread your graphs apart or closer together. Other options are ones that lock down your electronics.

The tracker 195 console sucks for this. I like ram mounts but only option is putting it on the side.

my debates are always, what has the better hook up ratio? Carolina Rig requires a sweeping hook set, which I do often, but a HDS requires a straight up lift. I feel like the HDS has a better hook up ratio.

Simrad C-Maps, I have 2 garmin units and their maps are subscription based. I use basic maps and save my routes and way points. Don’t like it too busy. It still updates navigation hazards regardless which is helpful.

definitely recommend launching from Island Marina or Rigolets marina, also would recommend starting fishing the Lake Catherine shore line then move into the ICW and fish the ponds in the ICW, The shore line of Lake Borgne is good but the amount of run outs or areas to fish that will present the best opportunities to catch reds will be in the ICW. The Tide will also be neap for Sunday. Almost Not existing so if its the only time you have to fish its definitely not the best conditions to fish.

also might want to check out Chef’s Harbor Marina, launch there go to ICW and fish toward Lake borgne. if you fish toward Borgne from Chefs Pass your closer to Rock Jettys and riff raff that might be holding some redfish.

I have caught Reds at spots you have picked, so I’d definitely give them a try, but I’d also try the other ends of the ponds on the ICW.

that’s pretty cool! I like listening to the interviews, its been good content. Keep up the good work!

YES! and the wind is lower down there than it is in EBM or Rigolets area this weekend. If I can get down there tomorrow I’m planning on fishing some canals that I fished last year.

And that’s some pro level thinking, I hope you do a video on this madness! It would definitely be informative for most inshore and bass anglers or even the novice guys who really don’t have a clue. I know I got garmin for the ability to go ffs if I wanted too. but really think Lowrance has thought out their tech a little better.

[timbofishn]

That’s going to be an awesome set up.

I use plastics and that’s how it worked today. I’ll write a report later.

You can’t see but 1 or two when river is up. When it’s low you can see several. And that’s also a good spot to fish for bass too. </div>

it has to be cleaner than it was 2 weeks ago, last week there was a few reports of catching on the L&N. I would think they would move to some areas that the current wont be too strong.

[timbofishn]

next Saturday, is a lighter tide, rising in the morning falling in the evening. I think both Saturdays are going to be good.
