TEAM JO-JO:
A whistle blower (WB) contacted me, he had some second, third, and 4th hand Intel, his complaint / concern was that the Silverwonders are back in Lake P. Me question the authenticity of his knowledge, but he assured me it came from a very credible source / induvial who had 5th hand knowledge of the alleged fish story. He indicated he could not confirm any “quid pro quo†took place to gain this knowledge, but he did offer to go with me to confirm the Intel.
Me crew for today be Big PJ (not WB) we running round Lake P in the Bay Flat Jr in the AM looking for some action.
SIGNS:
• Too much time on me hands
• Meet up for 6 AM
• Bay Flat Jr would be our water taxi
• We took the back way to Lake P under the Hwy 11, I-10, and service road bridges, if we were out for mullets we could have sunk many boast with fish, they were all over the place.
• Saw (2) Kayas fishing the shoreline
• Had 2 boast at the south end of the tracks
• Bai all over / in the water
• Pelicans cruising the trestles, good sign
• Opportunity came for a trip, so me took it
• Took forever. (25-40 pulls) to start the Yamaha Nightmare Machine if I did not like it so much me would throw it overboard
CONDITIONS:
• Perfect
• E.S.E. wind calm all day, just a breeze
• Calm seas
• Sunny & clear
• Mild temps
• Water level down 10-13â€
• Water Temp in eh 80’s F
• Water clarity on a scale of 1-7 was a solid 4, sill had that brown look to it.
• Tide, rising all morning, was hoping it would stop and turn around.
• (2) Boats out and about
TECHNIQUE / STRATEGY:
• Be safe
• Have fun
• Put some run time on Bay Flat Jr. and Yamaha Nightmare Machine
• This be me daily therapy for ALL me aliments
• Gather Intel for future trips, and to share with fisherperson, (on rodnreel.com) to help assist them in their choice of areas to fish, lures to use and presentation of same to the elusive Silverwonders.
• Check out (WB) complaint / concern, get conformation of same.
• Check water condition
• See if trolling would produce some bites
• Take care of the big itch Big PJ & Oneofthepack had to go fishing.
• Find a spot # with the seven fundamentals / criteria of catching:
1 WIND AT YOUR BACK: (What wind)
2 MOVING WATER: (Had plenty, rising all morning, may have been a little too much strong current, need for it to stop and turn around.)
3 WATER CALRITY: (Good, very fishable, clean, clear, but with a little brown look to it)
4 HOLDING FISH: ( 2nd fire break from south)
5 PATIENTS: (None needed not much action, but we be trolling and you never know when / what might happen, Big PJ busy tying lines)
6 SKILL: (Getting the knack of trolling Lake P & the trestles)
7 LUCK: (Finding A fish)

• Being on the water with one of the best fisherperson me know, that be Big PJ
• Had some great donuts at new donut place, along with some good hot coffee on the way back home, fish not biting, but Team Jo-Jo was, like we were trying to fatten up for the winter.
• Best fishing trip of my life, until the next one.
FISHERPERSON OF THE DAY:
Me guess, you guess, with only one fish caught, it not be a hard decision on who be fisherperson of the day, but it would not be who you think.
SUGGESTIONS:
Me think a little more time needed for Lake P to turn on, grass needs to go, water needs to clean up a little more, and some salt water needs to move back in. The owner of the boat launch indicated November they be back, he will start having live shrimp than too.
PONDER OF THE DAY:
If at first you don’t catch, fish, fish, and fish again.
Q&A:
Where is the line between fishing and not catching?
TEAM JO-JO’S FUTURE STRATAGEM:
10/3/19 me next plan trip, Yank coming down to enjoy all that our Disney World known as Delacroix Island has to offer, until then:
Good Fishing
