Went up the river yesterday in the kayak. Launched from the riverside dr hiking trail in D'Iberville and made is to Bayou costapia. Water was calm and the jetskie and pontoon crowd didnt show up until noonish. I brought frozen mullet that I used as cut bait as well as the brim I caught on worms. I stopped on a few banks and hooked into a big snapping turtle. I was using a bobber with a 2' surflon leader and a j hook and treble on two rods. Nothing hit the live brim, and besides the turtle nothing took the mullet. I was targeting gar, bowfin and whatever else was there (first time fishing the back channels). Does anyone have recommendations for line/bait combinations to target other species? I think fishing off the top with bobbers was my error, but I get snagged too much when I fish bottom freshwater. It was a beautiful trip and would like to go back.
