Super cool boat. Welcome!

Good report! Welcome.
Gotta think the vast open marshes of Louisiana are a harsh place for a coyote to make a living. Tough critter!

Yep, fished it once after an all day offshore trip out of Fourchon, so it was a pretty half assed, beer fueled mission.
It also just so happened to line up on the same night as the redfish rodeo (Labor Day weekend) so there were mobs of people there fishing (my living nightmare, like hard to find a spot wide enough on the pier to cast). Still caught a few dinks to my total surprise, so maybe on your average night it could produce.
Also, if you’re a landlocked angler, we stayed in Fourchon at the end of 3090 and did actually catch a few decent trout fishing from the bank while we waited on the other boat to come in one afternoon which was cool. Some dude fishing at the road end there also caught a bull red. Good luck and let us know!

Welcome Gabe!
Do you fly fish inshore as well or are you strictly a freshwater trout guy? I, too, enjoy fly fishing for trout – mostly in WNC and North Ga but the coast of Louisiana is my absolute favorite place to throw fly.

Man, hate to hear about your engine troubles, that kinda thing is so frustrating.
Outside of that glad to hear you had a good outing with family. 3 generations on one vessel is a cool deal!

Nice bag. Hope she catches the bug! Hard not to after a day like that, I’m sure

Solid haul and congratulations on graduating!
Venice is hell on gear unlike anywhere I’ve ever been. Trailer tires, truck tires, rod and reels. Not to mention that damned grey mud on the road in front of the mega construction site. Shit gets on everything and doesn’t like to come off lol

Jam up! Nice work

Good call!

MLeBlanc, yes there are. Here’s what I do:
The triad of a VHF, a satellite messenger and an EPIRB are a good combination to manage a range of bad situations shall they arise. I keep all three in the boat on every outing.
VHF is good to have to send distress to the CG and other vessels, or even just communicate with your buddies fishing a spot close by.
Satellite messenger allows you to send actual messages from anywhere in the world given that you can connect to needed satellites. Seems the most popular messenger is the Garmin InReach. I have the SpotX messenger and have noticed it can take an eternity to connect to satellites so I wouldn’t recommend it.
EPIRB is the ultimate “oh shit” button that will fire a distress signal to the CG and keep them in touch with your location. It also fits in the palm of your hand which means it can go along with you if you capsized or went overboard.
I know that’s a lot and it’s a hefty invest but it’s kind of a fail-safe on fail-safe method like many other guys here use

When the conditions are right it sure can be fun!

Could you imagine the hysteria if a US administration tried to pull that off.
It’d be like the “we will not be covering the usage of live bait in IF101” clip x10. That portion of 101 was comedic gold, btw.

Makes sense. I’m very green on sidescan/sonar. It’s a tool I need to devote more time to fine tuning. Seems like my sidescan is never as clear as yours is when you pan over with gopro in your YouTube videos. Haven’t been able to tell if I’m just an idjit or the machine isn’t as solid as what you’re using. Prolly an idjit.
