Question BL report Sunday 8/20/17

No live bait at Spicer's (was there at 445 am). Later heard they were out "by 3am" so i guess the weekend warrior is just S.O.L. as they say they open at 5am?

Hopped in with a buddy and headed to rigs to the SE, slick calm and hot. Ladyfish and sharks, so kept moving east and caught a bunch of spanish mackerel. I guess were heading in the wrong direction but never found any trout. Water was 30-40' which may have been kind of deep, not too familiar with these rigs out of cameron.
Tried pogie plant briefly around 11 on the way in, no water movement, nada.

Anybody got any insight on how a mortal can obtain live bait shrimp in hackberry, LA nowadays, or any pointers on fishing rigs this time of year? Thanks.

pogies when they dont have shrimp. i will buy live shrimp but mainly just to start fishing so im not chasing bait during best fishing time but seem to always find some first place i stop or like yesterday before i stopped. then i will fish them before the shrimp. have not seen any at dead end of lng before daylight so gave up on that.

I keep a handful of frozen 16oz plastic coke bottles around to help keep my lunch cool. If it's hot and i know I'll be lugging live bait around I'll toss one in the livewell from time to time. Nothing scientific but i feel as if the cooler water makes the bait last longer. I figure the livewell intake is pulling from the top of the water where it's a few degrees warmer than the deeper water where bait tends to hang out.
