my thoughts, are you have a wind vs tide situation next weekend, good luck! it will be really good after the SE winds stop and the tide normalizes. Not saying the fish wont be biting, pick your spots accordingly. I hope the wind forecast changes! its Monday today, my opinion might change on Thursday!

good report! I’m waiting a little to plan my 3rd trip to Venice. it will probably be end of this month.

I would definitely be thinking trout first, redfish as by catch. you might want to try where crooked bayou goes into lake Eugene while your close to it.

Daiwa tatula, with a Arid X rod. Med Fast. I use a 6’6″. a reasonably price combo, I use on the bridges in Lake P.

I have fished several bass tournaments, but never an inshore tournament, was there any boundaries? I’m thinking a run could of won some money easily.

my wife watches Ryan Hall’s Youtube channel for the weather, she knows what is going on before I ever do. I don’t even check until Wednesday afternoon, wind changes, rain changes. I feel if I plan on Monday or Tuesday I’ll have to make another plan by Thursday because Weather forecast will be different by then. I try to fish on Fridays and spend time with family on Saturdays but I’ll alternate the days if its worth it.

This good advice! I filled up an ice chest in lake Eugene once in October, then spun my hub in crooked bayou on the way back to BSM. Took me 5hrs to limp back at 4mph.Trip to remember!

so, last weekend I launched by my house, bayou liberty, I fished bayou liberty first thing in morning, then went train bridge, hwy 90 bridge, lake catherine, ICW, then Lake borgne shoreline from Chefs Pass to Martellos castle, down MRGO to bayou Ducross to Lake borgne then back to chefs and train tressles. Honestly, not seeing any reports that are that great right now, If you are looking for a school of redfish you might find some in these areas but, If I was to make another plan, i’d hit up Hopedale, go to halfmoon, treasure bay, Christmas camp, maybe even try the MRGO behind the Dam.

If you are wanting to fish closer, I understand, I’d try csx bridge and hwy 90 bridge with HDS. Lake Catherine should be getting some trout show up in there too soon. Right now its hit and miss. Tide is going to be better this weekend than last. these spots are very spread out id make more spots closer together and close in the area you want to fish.

Not a bad report! Water wasn’t moving much this weekend. Even a lot of guides reports were lower numbers of trout and redfish. Honestly if you were to use live shrimp it wouldn’t guarantee more keeper size trout, it probably would have gotten you a few whites and croakers possibly a sheepshead or drum., where did you launch? It’s been a while since I’ve been over there, is there still a launch across the bush canal?

IMHO I like garmin maps, but the kml to GPX file conversion and download is a PITA. Most conversions websites want to charge for the software after 1 free conversion. I’ve used garmin for the last 10 years and I wouldn’t mind getting another brand just to download safe routes into.

I’m wanting to charter, 1 passenger trips, not groups. , its niche, it would be a 1 to 2 day a week availability, Kind of wondering the response i’d get. obviously it would take me some time before I could start this.

Hi, my name is _____________ I’m a lifelong Louisiana Recreational Angler</div>

Please do not consider a reduction in Buffer zone to the Menhaden Industry, a reduction in buffer would increase their bycatch by much greater numbers, resulting in millions of more dead croakers, spotted and white sea trout and other forage fish. Including Redfish, black drum, and blackfin shark. If anything, please increase the buffer zone so that Louisiana’s recreational fishery can rebound from the devastational impact that the Menhaden fishing industry has already had on our recreational saltwater fishing species.

I’m thinking about fishing the bridges, I’d use a 7ft in other situations!

I was throwing a lost coast baits white craw, with a 1/2 oz bullet weight. Punching it but also swimming it out. It has a great action. And my thoughts was the white should stand out through the canes and the Lilly pads. But a green and blue I use most of the time. I use a swim hook for them most of the time in the shallow marsh. When I was cleaning fish they all had little bait fish in them. I took a picture so next time I’ll use a swim bait that’s close to these.
