What side y'all was on? I fished outta bonnebal ... Trolled for a few hours n jigged for about an hour n a half, caught a few ....looks like y'all did a lot better than us

[bayouchub]

we always go out the northshore. stayed inside 8mi whole time. there was a ton of trollers.

[fishinpox]

I only saw 3-4 other boats on the southshore. We had a few doubles trolling n lost a few cuz my fiancé kept reeling them in to fast while the boat was in gear n tearing the mouths. The first 5 min a rod bowed up stripping drag, thought we had a hammer trout on.... Friggin 15-20 lb freshwater catfish ....the SOB barrel rolled into 3 other lines by the time we got it to the boat it had 1 stick bait in its mouth about 15 wraps of power pro around it, a trap in it belly, and a rapala crank bait in its back lmao .....I was pissed!

Wow. We got to mandeville harbor at like 945 and there was hardly any place to park. Is it a lot closer from br to go to bonnabel?

I think it's 15 min faster , but now with the road construction on I-12 I think it is more like 25 min faster , way better launch, 3 ramps, good parking but in the early summer its a friggin joke watching / waiting to launch and put the boat back on the trailer...very comical . I've always preferred the south end because it's less pressure . I didn't have to move for anyone today , we started at about 2 miles n ended around 12 mile or so when I was leaving I saw a boat land a friggin hog...had to be an 8 it was fat and long not your usual "football"

They just repaved the road to the madisonville launch. Thats where we usually go, its never that crowded.
