Good report! I like chefs harbor, but it’s narrow between those boat lifts. I definitely wouldn’t want to have my boat in the first few lifts, I seen the lowers get knocked up against on a couple boats a few weeks ago when I launched. But also it’s not too busy and a great alternative to launching in some of the other places.

I’ve caught my pb on a neap tide and 3 or 4 more trout, but really haven’t caught numbers on trestles. I don’t need a limit of trout but still enjoy fishing when I can and I find joy in catching in less than the greatest conditions. That’s me, but when I lived further away, I really tried to fish the best days.

Good options for neap tides is Venice the water still drops 1ft and the water still moves but it is a lot further of drive. I’ve caught behind the dam in Hopedale. on neap tides tides, (avoid areas that are shallow like half moon or going far down spoil canal) usually this time of the year there is always a few people who run aground and get stuck there.

That cut by Dennis pass is definitely silted in! The first time I went down there I turned around, there wasn’t a cut there anymore.

Thanks for report, gonna try to hit it up sometime this weekend if the rain stops

[timbofishn]

I listen to Music at home while, woodworking or washing the boat or driving home from work. I enjoy the silence, while fishing.

Sunday was the perfect day for it! Great report!

Hi, welcome to the site, I fished this area this week, there is trout on the rocks, places we keyed in on were points and coves in the rocks in MRGO didn’t spend too much time in straight lined areas. Any trout you catch in MRGO will probably be a keeper size and they have been a little finicky, I’ve seen and have experienced fishing the birds out of chefs pass, and by the castle its a mix out there, lots of small fish and boats. if its real foggy I’d recommend launching out of Fishermans friend in chalmette its not much further than driving to Chefs harbor and the trip to the MRGO is a bit safer than going through chefs into the ICW and then over to the MRGO. Good Luck! Hope you have success.

dont go friday, the wind isn’t good to lake fish, but, if you don’t mind fishing in the marsh or in small bayous, I’d recommend places like Hopedale where there is plenty spots you can go and fish in protected water. Saturday the wind is low 3mph and it should be ideal for Lake P, Use GED and post a fishing Plan, and I’m sure someone will be willing to help you better.

I was planning on going either Friday or Saturday.

Lost coast Baits, I’ve caught several on the leech, I use the jerkshads a lot. I’ve made several videos using his baits and a lot of the baits he makes aren’t on his website.

here’s a video of me using that bait, I’m calling it a flat tail grub. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VauBiKpAGY&list=PL22ZHS_RoKQG6t6nv-PsZCFTDewMbF2oF&index=5

ok, in the morning Foggy Water Marina isn’t really busy and its a little closer of a drive if your coming from BR, its $7 to launch, a slightly longer boat ride to the tresles. its not as popular because they don’t sell shrimp.

[timbofishn]

have they fixed the 2nd lane for launching? Its been a while since I’ve gone over there.

[timbofishn]

where you launching I live by Foggy water marina

[timbofishn]

I launch out of bait inc. sorry! The parking lot is a wreck but it’s a good place to launch.

[timbofishn]

nah!, I can buy 2 crap reels or get 1 really good one, eventually you pay the price. I’m cheap, but I also like the fact they have a 3 year no questions asked warranty and they are made in Texas. I don’t need 10 of them just 2 or 3! I still use my Daiwas and I’ve bought a couple earlier this year.
