    Yes, this is all I was throwing Saturday. 7 inch soft plastic jerk bait.

    Hopedale Redfish Action after Hurricane Isaias

    The bait in the pic, I made, But I throw a lot of Lost Coast Baits, I’m friends with Joe Gautier, who makes multiple different baits and he makes a 5 and 6 inch jerk shad that I use a lot.

    I fish with a weed less swim bait hook, weighted or weightless, jigheads usually lighter than 1/4oz. I mid stroll some times but most of time I throw out do a double or single twitch let the line slack out for 4-7 seconds, then reel in slack and twitch again. Get use to watching your line. Works really good on the rock jetty’s.

    Good kayak spot! Just watch out for the hypodermic needles! I’ve caught many trout there this time of year. That also was a really good bank fishing spot. Last time I fished it caught a bunch of bass.

    Gill net lines in it, fishy story. I think Super Bowl Speck is the real Record!

    2024, I did most of my fishing in the Lake, had several days where it was better in the lake than in the marsh.

    thanks for the report, Long rocks seem to be good for 1-2 trout, just another spot to catch a couple and move on.

    That’s good, I just looked up cost of new prop 800-1200 $. Was wanting a spare

    , I’ve fished hopedale in the fall for the last 19 years of my life. September is a transitional month, a lot of people cover a lot of water and come up short. A good plan will help you be successful and a good plan will also make it easier for people to help you. Lake Borgne is big and has a lot of shore line, being specific helps. Bay Eloi same thing. Not much tide this weekend, not much wind either. So there is going to be some fish caught (in a short window of opportunity) but, not if you don’t find moving water, with some bait you might come up empty handed. Also it’s a full moon right now and gas is $4 a gallon, good luck!

    September 16, 2026 at 10:21 pm in reply to: Rod and reel setups

    I have probably 30 combos I keep on adverage 10-12 in the boat.

    2 med mod fast rods 6’6” with 7.3:1 reels. These rods double for my hard jerk baits or mid strolling soft plastic jerkshads on light jig heads usually have a mono line 10-14#.

    2 Med fast 6’6 and med fast 6’ rods with 8:1 reels for bridge jigging 3/8-3/4 oz jigs. 12-17 pound line

    Med fast spinning 7ft for popping cork 30# braid

    Med fast 7ft spinning for drop shot 30# braid plus leader

    2) 7’ mh fast custom spiral wrapped with 8:1 reel 40# braid for Texas rig

    7’6” heavy fast #40 braid punching rig

    7ft MH FAST 17# mono 6.6:1 reel for spinner bait or chatter baits.

    I have some crank bait rods but they get left at the house most of the time,

    I don’t always bring my punching rod unless, I know I’m punching or the water is real dirty and using straight braid doesn’t matter.

    September 15, 2026 at 11:18 am in reply to: Monofilament for jigging rods – I just don’t get it

    I use all three types, some of these hybrid lines have been working real good for me. I’ve been using yozuri hybrid for last 2 years, no issues with it. I feel like 100% flouro breaks easy and I end up taking 20-30 yards off each trip and it cost the most. That yozuri line cost $1 more than Berkley big game for a big spool and it works great for the different ways I fish.

    now while I’ve been fishing for reds flounder and bass in Venice, I’ve been using more braid on MH and Heavy rods, but I’ve been fishing next to rozo canes and in ponds full of grass and it helps get them in the boat fast. But I don’t really use it for trout fishing,

    I’ve fished out of one of these a few times, it indeed goes 72mph. Nice sled! A definite upgrade especially if you plan on fishing a tournament and gonna make a run

    , seen some small finger mullet fishing flat by dam, wasn’t seeing pogies or schools of shad. Water was clean, when I went more east it was slightly muddy but could still see 2 ft down.
