The rain may be spotty so I think you could potentially avoid it. But I agree, the waves are 3-4 feet Saturday and 2-3 foot Sunday in the lake. Bienvenue is an option, you could launch at seabrook and ride out that way, I suspect the bienvenue and Dupre gates will be closed with the east winds.

Have you actually seen Bonnabel crowded? Lol I have never seen more than 2 of the 4 ramps being used. I know they were building the pier at west end, not sure if they finished or not though. But I would not be want to launch at either of them with the wave forecast.

Was there a googan in a yellow boat fishing the Jump when you stopped on the way in?

[McLovin]

Awesome report. If you had speared the hog, would that have been surfin’ turf?

I’m guessing the tarpon had vacated? I am thinking about heading to Venice tomorrow, I may give them a shot as well if you saw any roll.

I have a 24 hour tuna trip Oct 9-10, I also saw that wind forecast and almost ruined a pair of pants lol. The good thing is that almost all 10 day forecasts are wrong due to the butterfly effect. I think you have a solid plan, the forecast looks better today (probably still wrong), let’s hope it keeps improving!

[McLovin]

Ha I’m trying not to get my own hopes up, I’ll believe it when he says all the models agree. But I’ve become a huge weather nerd when I’m planning my fishing trips and found the forecast discussion is so much better than looking at numbers as a percentage.

It looks like there is potential for that to happen mid-next week. From the NWS forecast discussion:

“As the weekend system clears eyes will center on the next much stronger front upstream. There are timing disparities between the GFS and ECMWF, however, the broad scale trough looks to sharpen as it moves east of the Rockies early next week. Another round of rainfall and again much cooler, drier air should filter into the region”

Wunderground shows low temps dropping to 55-56, winds from the NNW at 10-20 mph Wednesday and Thursday.

Someone will hopefully correct me if I am wrong but the first and second spillways are on southwest pass. The four spillways with the rocks are above head of passes.

[McLovin]

I was calling the mouth where it dumps out into the gulf. Around these rocks

[McLovin]

Yeah that was me, I can assure you that I harmed no trout yesterday though lol.

This is when I hate all the legal talk in regulations. They could make it so much simpler if they would put examples in there.

My interpretation of page 19 is that yes you can keep two days limits. You just have to clean the fish at the camp site that night, bag it, label it, date it. Then you have to leave that cooler at the camp site while fishing on day 2 and be able to produce a receipt that says when you launched. It’s even easier if you stay at a WMA primitive campground because that shows you stayed overnight where ever you are fishing. Is that how y’all interpret it too?

I was more talking just ducks in general. The teal season was shorter because usfws reported a teal population lower than 4.7 million birds (likely from drought conditions) You would think that the local breeding population of blue wings would have had decent nest success just because we had a pretty wet spring but I’m sure our predator population is probably higher than the Midwest.

[McLovin]

Yeah I did, I tried checking out the beaches so I went out Joseph bayou through east bay and came in south pass from the mouth. I only tried fishing the rocks over there and just caught a couple of ladyfish.

[McLovin]

I actually had some rigged up! I probably should have used them. I had one on for almost three minutes using a 13 fishing mullet on a 10/0 Owner flashy swimmer.
