Rocks are Holding the Trout

The summer patterns for trout are in full swing now and that means it is often not so easy to find bigger trout in easily accessible areas. However, with patience and searching you can put together a nice box of fish and enjoy a day on the water.

Nice video. I love catching big trout on jerk baits. After topwater it’s my favorite way to catch them.

Is that the “we fishing guy”? I like him.
I thought jerk baits were cool weather lures?

[@JonMillerFishing]

No, different guy.

WOW!!! That fast action will wear you out quickly but there isn’t a better way to get worn out that I know of. The last time o fished “the barges” was 2010 and we were wade fishing. I’ve gotten wise since then; I no longer offer myself as shark bait 😅. I have friends that let me know when they are biting good and big size. You two seem to be doing a great job with them on this trip.

Look's like the Fourchon area. Some 20+ yrs. ago, we used to head west & fish the rocks @ Bird Island. Those days are gone. Good video.

Awesome fishing trip & very kind of you to take a coworker fishing.
Which marina do you launch? I’m looking for decent place to launch & park the truck/trailer.
I’m not sure the public launch is a good option.

Great little bite there at the end. Sticking it out paid off!

[@johnkarges8829]

That little fish that the trout spit up early in the video with the sucker fins is a clingfish (Gobiesox strumosus), very common on oyster reefs and rocks. Not parasitic, but trout food

Thanks!

Looks like a good day of action

[@weekender38]

Well done.

Jon have you ever thought about getting a little wider boat there?
