I throw a lipless chrome shad a lot either rattle trap or a cotton Cordell brand both do well.

Nice! I started building my own rods for the reason of trying some different guides and grips that aren’t on production rods.

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.

You gotta try a bates hundo, I prefer the 150, but the hundo is super light it 5oz

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.

There was some little rain showers in the distance scattered.
