Default VBay Fishing Trends?
I've been fishing VBay for the past few years but up until now, I had never caught as many stingrays and jack crevalles (hope I spelled it right). Is this normal? Just wondering and wanting to catch some reds and specks. Thanks in advance for any input.

I've been fishing it for 8-10 yrs I think, and I've never caught a sting ray or jack. You must have found the "spot" lol

Salinity might be higher, causing the jacks to move further in.

Thank you. I was thinking that I had special shrimp bait or technique that attracted more "trash" fish than the normal fisherman. Lol. I was actually on the Weeks Bay side near the Trash Pile and Acadiana Nav Channel. I feel a little better now.

Girlfriend caught a baby jack at the mouth of Avery a couple of weeks ago. That was a first for me in the bay.

They are already in the bay, just not thick yet. Give it two weeks or a couple fronts and it will be on.

They're in the bay, just spotty, find the bait and trout are there... Just have to figure what they want, it's been a finicky bite. It'll happen soon
