I’m here right now
Waters kinda shitty and it’s a south wind all weekend so I doubt it gets better
The bait is there though. When the wind is better it’ll be on

Not stacked up yet, found a few scattered at the barges and Belle Pass, no luck on the beach since Thursday

I caught some pretty ones this morning but it was in the bay. You can see pretty water off the beach but at the shore it’s all kicked up and fonky

That shitty water seemed to keep us from being sharked. First time in 6-7 years we had had zero encounters with the Taxman. We probably caught 40-50 keepers and a bunch more small ones. And some hammers too. Mangroves were elusive, only 3, Buggy told me no one has been catching any yet.

My campground neighbor that lives down at Bridge Side in May and June said Thursday and Friday were the first days he’d been able to comfortably fish and the surf has been like chocolate milk most of the month.

The sharks were all at west delta 117. We reeled in a 9 pound red snapper head

We thought about heading that way because of all the big Lane Snapper being caught, but opted to hit the easy button and towed up to Fourchon.

Good choice. It was booty cheeks east of there.

We were there for 5 days last week and it was pretty bad.

Rained several days. Windy as shite pretty much everyday. Water was chocolate milk for several hundred yards away from the beach.

Did not really hear of any good reports either.

I will agree with the other poster that said bait was everywhere. Tons of birds diving all day long a good ways out from the beach. Waves were just way too bad for my 19ft bass boat.
