Welcome, take IF101 it will make the monthly cost worth your money. I’ve launched from the rigolets marina to fish Boloxi Marsh and yes you can definitely do it from your boat. I plan on fishing Friday or Saturday too. I just hadn’t made a planning post yet. If you make a planning post using Google earth Desktop to plan your route, spots, look up wind direction and tide. You will get good advice and can alter your plan to make a more likely safer and successful fishing trip. Good Luck. It’s a really good community here, you will get a lot out of it.

Nice, I’m guessing the trout are already in summer pattern, haven’t seen many long rock reports that were any good.

[timbofishn]

For me it’s length, weight, components.

Does the rod you’re looking have what you want in all three areas. What makes it worth more than other production rods? Custom rods you pick rod blank, grips, guides. If I get or make a custom rods 1 or more components are usually not available on a production rod or is modified to my liking. G loomis rod have good carbon blanks, some use very high end guides and a common split grip or cork handle it’s worth it if you are wanting the components on the rod

But usually for me if I’m buying a high end blank and guides I might as well get the handle I want so I go custom. JMHO.

Good job! , I would definitely loose the cork and throw a jig. I would have been fishing the long rocks if I wasn’t stuck on long distances jobs right now. Good report

[timbofishn]

That’s pretty cool

[timbofishn]

If your throwing top waters with single hooks, your not worried about keeping fish for dinner, it’s good for watching blow ups and catch and release. If you’re really wanting to catch and keep, just throw subsurface lures, JMHO! I it’s the same way bass fishing, I love throwing frogs, blow ups and misses are just part of it!

Good job! Killing them on the crickets!

I’ve been wanting a bfs set up, if you ever want to see someone do reviews on bfs reels and rods look up RxAngler on YouTube he’s a bfs fanatic. I’ve been wanting one for kayak fishing

I have the salty 150 and hundos, the salty 150 is discounted because they came out with a hundo 50 and making it for the make price point as the hundos. Those salty and goat models are really good models, just definitely get a salty version. I actually prefer them over the hundo, the hundo is just really light and small.

I watched it, going to watch it again to make some port sulphur routes. A lot of good information.

If it is leaking from steering at the fill plug, I’d fill it back up keeping the hose and bottle of fluid connected and I’d turn the wheel back and forth both ways for at least 20 times to get any air out and then I’d add some thread tape to fill plug before putting back on. If it’s leaking anywhere else, I’d try to call manufacturer for replacement parts.

If you do fish comfort or eloi, I’d also try some of the break water structures and tide lines on the north end of eloi, which is a point to add between deadman and comfort as well as some of the rigs. It might be a little early, but fishing these areas will help you become more confident throughout the spring into the late summer.

I hope you don’t mind oyster boat traffic, IYKYK!

Last few attempts at fishing half moon in springtime ended up with me catching a limit behind the dam.

[timbofishn]

Awesome report! Way to go!

[timbofishn]

I’m the same way, I crash if I eat carbs, if I eat breakfast in the morning it’s usually 2 eggs, coffee and water.
