re: Annual Trout Trip - Grand Isle
Posted by JRinNOLA on 6/11/26 at 9:33 am to OGhunter777
Tips : Live shrimp under a cork or free lined near the rocks in front of the island or in the back bay. A lot of people don’t fish the back, bay but I usually do very well there. In the heat of the summer the bite ends early so you have to start at first light. They usually bite good in the evening too. Also I know you have your dates set but I don’t make the drive there unless tide and wind are favorable. I make a lot of day trips. Good luck !!!
My 2017 Silverado bought new had 3 common problems I found out about. I read over and over how the transmission would fail around 100 k. I am at 110,000 and still good. The ac condensers fail due to not enough weld so they crack and loose all Freon. Mine did. $1,800 The 3rd common problem is the hydronic/electric lifters that let the engine shift from V8 to V4 can fail and cause major engine damage. I bought a device that plugs into the diagnostic connector and keeps it in V8 mode all the time so lifters won’t fail. I love my truck but the thing I hate most is it rides rough. Every brand of truck has its problems. My next truck will be a Chevy

I went yesterday Saturday. Kayak fished the rocks in the back bay live shrimp under a cork and on the bottom. Only 3 keepers and a throwback 17” redfish. Not much tide range. I usually do a lot better. Water dirty. All the kayakers I talked to along the way fishing plastic only caught under sized. Alot of catfish to deal with. Terry,s in Leeville and Bridgeside both had live shrimp.

I have heard bleach is too strong. I have been using peroxide but it doesn’t get skull very white. What should I be using ?

May is a good month for wild caught crawfish.
re: Cat Island/St. Francisville Rut
Posted by JRinNOLA on 1/13/26 at 6:22 am to CerRegKnockoutArtist
We hunt private land in Cat Island and north of Cat Island. Saw alot of rut activity, bucks chasing and on the move around December 30. I hunted with 3 others January 5-7. No one saw a deer. Maybe rut was early this year ?
All private land hunting trails we created through the thick catbryar in the cat island swamp. The deer started using the trails as soon as we cut them. We hunt from ladder stands. Hunted the hills in the morning and swamp in the evening.
4 hunters , 5 hunts , no deer

Shocked we didn’t see a single deer Monday- Wednesday. 4 hunters made 5 hunts and didn’t see a deer. Afternoon temperatures in the 70s. Area 6 in St. Francisville where rut is topically first 2 weeks of January. I’m thinking it was due to the unusual hot weather.
I feel like it starts around Christmas and into first 2 weeks of January. We hunt in St. Francisville.
re: What is Tensas like?

It can be very hard to get away from all the other hunters. Also the roads are going to be sloppy or unbelievably dusty so bring everything you need so you don’t have to drive around too much. I went 3 times in the last 5 years. I am done with Tensas.

re: Anyone Still Fly Fishing in Louisiana?
Posted by JRinNOLA on 11/23/25 at 6:50 am to Lutcher Lad
I absolutely love fly fishing for bream. I use a white popping bug. I didn’t get out much this summer. I will have to double down this summer to make up for it.
re: Hopedale fishing saturday

3 of us went Wednesday the 5th. Fished the marsh not too far from Hopedale marina. 8:30 - 2:30 Ended up with 28 keeper trout. Not that many throw backs. Caught on live shrimp and marker 54 shrimp. The fish are inside. You just have to pick your days to fish.
I use the ratchet straps but also add a 6” piece of metal pipe hanger strap wrapped around each side of the stand and run a deck screw through it into the tree. Also keeps the stand from moving around.

White lake duck hunting
Posted by JRinNOLA on 10/26/25 at 8:03 am
Anyone have any experience duck hunting at White Lake ? I was invited to duck hunt there mid November. Any information appreciated.
I started rebuilding my reels myself. Look up specific reel on YouTube. It’s a lot easier than you would think. No special tools needed. I rebuilt all my spinning reels and 2 6500c3 bait casters. Just order some reel oil and grease on amazon.
When your tailgate is down camera doesn’t get you license plate and if you are towing a boat just take a minute to pull over in Leeville and cover or remove your license plate. I am not paying $21.00
I fished last Wednesday the 9th. Caught 11 keepers trout and 100 throw backs mostly on artificial in the marsh very close to the boat launch. They are inside now.
