GI surf fishing
 

Im headed south today for a snapper trip but wanted to try some surf fishing before and after. I heard from a friend that Elmer's will be closed all week. Where else do y'all recommend going in the area? Tia

the state park, elmer's Island should be open!

yea and they ought to be hungry as hell! cause they didnt bite crap all weekend

x2

Lets hope

Bump dat. No luck at park... any other suggestions

Surf at park has been a late afternoon till dark bite. Mornings have been dead.
Tide should be low so walk out and fish up against the rocks and the ends of the rocks w/ top water .

Did they say why Elmers will be closed? Happens occasionally, and I know they plan on fixing the road, but I wouldn't think they would do that right now. Peak season.

Elmer's is closed because they're filming a movie there. Was still closed when we passed the entrance this morning.

Ah yes, I heard Ah-nold was on the island this weekend.

We passed all the movie trucks and trailers in leeville when we were heading home sunday.

I'm headed to GI Friday through Sunday to do some beach fishing. If I can't catch em on plastic I'm surly gonna cheat, I haven't met a trout yet that can resist a live shrimp!

there were folks fishing live shrimp in the G I surf in the am not getting a bite . fish just were not there until the afternoon.

Arnold S and Sylvester S are supposedly shooting a movie on Elmer's Island called "The Tomb" :)

Dang, hopfully they are there sometime. I'm staying at Rickey's Motel, and there's a lighted pier on the bay side for guest only maybe we'll get lucky and catch a few there.

Youre staying at Rickys on purpose? Or was everything else booked? If the beach us bad, theres always snapper??

Sounds like a bad decsion? Yea I booked there. I'm not hauling my boat, just dry clothes and tackle, and of coarse cold beer.

Ricky's would be my choice only to keep from having to sleep on the beach.

Well it's already booked. I'll call it a learning experiance.. Now I just need to get on a few fish!

I'll be going there the last weekend in june, and again two weeks later. Where is a good place to castnet bait?

Yea what he said. That'd sure beat having to buy some. I have pogey meal just gotta find shrimp

I fished the rocks at Caminda pass Friday morning caught 12 big male trout on chartreuse skitterwalks and a few on the catch 2000 but it was slow fished from daylight till 9:00 am
