agree w/ other posters, it can be a tough place to catch. can you make the run to biloxi marsh across lake borgne? the fishing is a little better.

I've fished w/ captain Kris Robert out of there a few times. Most trips were great, slayed them a few times. however, had one really tough trip as well, but hey, it's fishing. I'd recommend him, October/November is a good time to fish the area. It's a much better area in the fall based on my experience.

I don’t fish the Rigolets proper. Too much traffic on the weekends when I can actually go. The community Honey holes in Mud Lake and Lake Catherine are turned on. If you can go on a weekday there will only be about 50 boats in those spots. Weekend... it’s a parking lot.

I thought he was out of Lafite?

Lake borgne was getting choppy yesterday so we didn't try crossing. About 1/3 across was getting 1-2' white caps from the west wind. We are in an xpress h22b with a 200 yamaha.

Pointe Aux Chenes is our go to, I'm more of a fight oriented guy so I've learned where to target bull reds and small blacktips out there. I would like to find some places where I can catch very large trout on very light tackle. I only keep fish when my freezer gets low, and refish is my favorite inshore fish anyway.
