So I fished Saturday evening 3pm-8pm. Caught around 10 bass, water was high but falling. Found clean water found fish at runouts in canals. A little rain shower came by and cooled it down. Love it when a plan works out!

I use 10 or 12 pound flouro and 3/8 or 1/2 oz jigs. 6fft 6 rod with a high gear ratio reel. Some times I use a 6ft rod, does less wear on your elbows and it’s not like you need excess casting distance. The popping off the bottom and cadence can change sometimes they want it dragging on bottom. Sometimes (most of the time) you have to get it where they can see it! Bridge trout on plastic is a win. Keep at it, I enjoy it mostly when I can go drift down the bridge and not have a boat every 20 yards!

Yes, by the time I made it down there it was already over. Thanks for the report.

Lake edge is where I usually catch reds in summer, but also the ponds also have reds. I also make sure I keep track of deeper bayous that lead to ponds. The deeper bayous usually hold bass and reds. And marking them in your gps will help you when fishing on a low tide and knowing where you can get to.

I have a Garmin 93sv with inland maps not coastal maps. And I do just fine with out the LA1.

For saving routes (which I haven’t spent as much time doing)the kml files have to be converted to another config to work with garmin.

I should upgrade; new iPhones use usb-c charging cable too! I really hate the lightning cables. I looked into the starlink mini, I’m moving to Slidell this week and will be looking at internet options.

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.

A red and watermelon ribbon tail worm, which was good because a couple bass up chucked some crawfish while in my livewell. Switched to a June bug trickworm caught them on that too.

I agree! I think in going to try fishing the falling tide in the evening.
