    I tried to run this in my 16’ deep vee and almost got stuck. It was close to low tide but not quite. Luckily I was able to make it back to deeper water using my trolling motor. Definitely do not try to make this run unless your boat can comfortably run in 18”

      Thanks, Jim! But to be clear, this isn't part of LAFB Elite, it's just an entertaining TH-cam video. Anything on this TH-cam channel cannot possibly touch what's inside LAFB Elite in terms of sheer knowledge delivery.

    Thanks Devin. Great video. I’ve been wondering about the bayou after the L turn before you get to the MRGO. So is it safe to take that right turn and follow that bayou out to get on the SW side of the MRGO rocks? IMO that would be a good alternative route back in if there was a strong NE wind. But I wasn’t sure if it was deep enough to get down it or if there was any hazards.

    • @LAFishBlog
      @LAFishBlog  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Jamie Traweek Good question! Yes, that bayou is safe to take. Treat it like you would any bayou.

      @LAFishBlog  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Dewey Desselle Well, I haven’t measured out every inch of the Spoil Canal and averaged all the numbers, but I’d say 3-5ft. That part towards the end is shallower. Be sure to watch the whole video.

    so, im guessing at the end of your vid is almost to the "long rocks". Planning on going in a couple weeks so trying to do some research

    • @LAFishBlog
      @LAFishBlog  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes, you are correct. I end the video close to that platform you saw. You can see it on Google Earth, too.
      I love that you're doing research because it will make the most of your fishing trip.
      You're showing some initiative and that's rare among people who want to find and catch fish, seeing that most just want a "spot" to go to.
      I STRONGLY suggest you check out my website, www.LAFishBlog.com and search through the blog. There's tons of good info there, and what you are looking for is easily found with the category drop down menu and search function located at the bottom of each blog post.
      Of course, there's the membership that gives you access to Inshore Fishing 101, 201, Sight Fishing Mastery School, and the Fishing Trip Reviews to places like the Long Rocks, so you can see exactly how I plan each fishing trip, see where and how I fish, as well as a Post Trip Review breaking down lessons learned plus everywhere I went using Google Earth.
      It's a great learning tool, but I encourage you to check out the Blog first.

      @@LAFishBlog Thanks!... another question... if you run through the marsh instead of canal.. and you come out on south side of MRGO.. you just run that straight south to get to the rocks? Also people fish in the main channel? or on the back sides? trying to look around at the map on google to see.

    • @LAFishBlog
      @LAFishBlog  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Scottie G Yes, you can go around the Rock Dam. More details in this blog post:
      www.lafishblog.com/route-around-the-mrgo-rock-dam/
      People fish both sides of the rocks, though the outside tends to be shallower, and the inside tends to be deeper.
      It will be on you to determine where fish are biting on that given day, and it’s my advice that you move quickly to cover as much water as possible.

  • @JulioTheBusDriver
    @JulioTheBusDriver 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    What is the general etiquette when passing a boat that's fishing in a main canal/passageway? Such as in the USCG rules of the road where "a boat engaged in fishing shall not impede the passage of a vessel using a traffic lane". I personally will just about slow down for any boats fishing, as a courtesy, but where do you draw the line as far as navigating a channel vs. being "rude" to your fellow fisherman?

    • @LAFishBlog
      @LAFishBlog  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Good question!
      Unfortunately, I don't really have a good answer since so many scenarios are different.
      There's no cut-and-dry field manual for this one, you just have to use your judgment.
      For example, you saw how I came off plane and stopped pulling a wake for those boats fishing in the middle of the canal, right?
      Well, I wouldn't stop if I had my father in the boat and he was bleeding out from a vicious polar bear attack at the Long Rocks, right?
      Obviously that's an exaggerated scenario, but I'm using it to prove this point: it just depends and it's up to you and your circumstances.
      That and where I draw the line is different from where other people draw it, one reason being my face is plastered all over the Internet.
      I can't risk the perception of being rude, even if I am not, because then I'll have someone in the ether complaining about how rude I am.
      But, if I were Joe Blow, none of that would matter.
      I'd much rather be safe than sorry, so I guess that's where we should all draw the line.

    After watching your video on the back canal I’m surprised how much it has changed, used too run the canal and not see another boat all day except a crew boat, had a 14 ft flat back then and loaded up on trout and reds , but wouldn’t take a chance now with rude fisherman and guide boats who don’t know how to slow down for a smaller boat, no common sense in their brains!

    • @LAFishBlog
      @LAFishBlog  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey Karl, thanks for commenting.
      It's perfectly safe to go fishing in a 14ft flatboat, and a lot of guides I know are very professional and slow down every time.
