Todd, I’m sure you’ve already tried this, but on the slim chance that you haven’t; I love to fish the major time of the solunar on the night of a full/fuller moon. The submarines come out to feed. An added bonus is the epic wildlife viewing, that only happens at night. There’s nothing quite like it.
I also question the solunar period - always figured even a broken clock is right twice a day! However, sometimes it appears to click - last week in my kayak solunar tables said 2pm was the beginning of the period. Not a huge haul, but most of my fish were caught between 2pm and 3:30pm!
My grandfather used to plan his trips to the camp in Buras by finding the right tides to go with the 1st and last quarter moons. I can 't tell you how many times we caught more than a 100 trout, reds, bull croakers and drum. We fished English Bay, Bay Joaquin, Bay Scofield and Cyprien. Those were great times, from 1966 - 1990.
Todd I heard that most of the marsh has depleted in Empire and is nothing like it was. I want to make a trip that way again, but it’s been since the 90’s and wondered what it looks like.
Albeit not a perfect science, I’ve seen far too often a bite go berserk around a major or a minor. All that said, you can’t catch em on the couch! Keep the videos coming brother!
Todd I just noticed that it looks like your trolling motor is not a salt water variety. Is that true? Have you had any problems with corrosion? Otherwise, great video and great information as always!

I also think it pays off to fish when everyone else is working like normal people.
I haven’t found a day of the week yet where everyone is working
@@jonah-n8l Monday -Friday
As a native of your neighboring state to the east, I’m very jealous of the area y’all have to fish! Another great video!

Lot of land loss. But they’re doing a lot of river diversion projects to re build the land
Lots of marsh still on the east side, but very little on the west side.

@@MarshManMasson thanks. Just bought a bottle from B&B.
Dude…you should’ve kept that fish! Gaff tops taste awesome! They’re less fatty and cleaner tasting than blue cats.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 bro! Tell me ur kidding
@@jonah-n8l Not at all! Have you ever eaten one? If not, I’m telling you bro…try one and see! Tastes way better than speckled trout 💯
