If the water is pretty make sure u have a bait bucket and castnet just in case they won't eat artis

artis wud be platic baits or am i wrong....

Correct.

gotcha. im gonna use top water lures at first. i have a couple but im not sure which color wud be the best to use at the beach......

depending clarity of the water bring Black, pink, white or pearl, and chartruse....that about covers the colors you would need.......

sounds great. thanks for the help cux im sure it wud help me out in a way depending how it turns out on saturday cux im expecting to be there before sunrise and one more thing where is lil fla at cux i wanna be able to drive there by truck....

I threw bone skitter yesterday and didn't get one blow up. My cousin caught some on black and chart tho. Seem pink has been the color down there.

What u talking about Willis ...I know 4 guides who have been limiting out on sting ray grubs and topwater before 745am

True story

Oh I believe y'all not saying they aren't. We went yesterday evening and they wouldn't touch my skitterwalk. Maybe afternoon is different than morning. But j know as soon as that live was hittin the water they were eatin that. They were smashin the top of the water and throw right in em and they still wouldn't bite it.

Try a loud she dog next time..... BLAM spinna!!!

Throw a catch 2000 black or bone...100% smash

I'll try somethin different next time. Was running out of daylight and they were smokin live and I wanted to bring some fish back. Plus I'm just an office fisherman so I gotta take what I can get lol.

I was throwin a spook junior in black/chartreuse. That's all I had since I didn't have a tackle box LOL!!

wind will be blowing south from now thru the weekend.. water will look like chocolate milk. i wouldn't waste the gas.

agreed

well im gonna take a chance im im a die hard fisherman so im just gonna go saturday and if its dirty water at least ill enjoy being on the beach and just try live bait but where lil fla at yall.. i wanna know how to get there by truck i never been to little fla.

Don't forget some bug repelant b/c the only thing that will be biting for certain are the deer flies. Check your other thread for directions

Not when me and Top Dawg went the other night. They had a crop duster flyin right over da beach sprayin us wit free skeeter spray!! Den on da way home we got stuck behind da truck pumpin out spray!

We limited 2 days in a row last week all pink skitters but beach looks nasty now

Yea ur right jadams the beach was nasty cuz we went out there today and a storm caught us off guard so we went to Rutherford beach all day and went back to the rocks a little past holly beach where there a crab boat Sunk in the sand halfway the tide dropped down so fast and waves were tearing up the rocks it was nasty water end up with no fish at all but st least the family enjoyed being on the beach

FGW, thats what its all about, having a good time. Last time me and my boys were down there, it was rough and nothing biting. Ran to the Bayou and the boys filled up the igloo with crabs while I fished the edge of the marsh. Thats what I love about down there, you can always find something no matter the conditions.

yea i hear ya crawdaddct, looking forward to go back in august cux for sure this month im booked every weekend to go out of town with family for vacation and etc but im looking forward to the fall fishing, shrimping, and crabbing all along the coast from v-bay to little fla which is past holly beach.

FGW, was there anyone catching out there Saturday mornin? We had considered going but went try the Cameron jetties instead, zero luck there... Im ready for good beach conditions to roll back around.

Fellas
i don t know anything about this cept what i saw on the news the other nite and
i hate to be negative
but they said something about pollution on la beaches and named several..i saw lil fla and others around cameron parish...i don t fish there but i fish the lake..prolly got probs in lake if probs out there.
.just sayin??
..anyone know anything about this??

It's talking bout trash on beaches not water pollution. Yea Cameron parish has nasty beaches

This advisory is nothing new. Almost every summer they find the same pollution along the beaches in the SW part of the state.

I look at it like when I go hunting. Will I see any snakes....probably. Will it be poisonous.....maybe! Will I get bitten......probably not. So I still go hunting and fishing.

likeuhboss when i went the water was all messy and low tide was going out tha afternoon on saturday so im just gonna wait until we get some north wind back down there again and also yea i have watched the news talking abt the beaches being trashy and the water being conmantied so wha can we do abt it. nothing we either dont go fish there anymore or keep going fishing there... ill be back down there again whenever the north winds comes back ...

I was down on the beach July 1, fishing right where the rocks started. Wind was horrible. Beach was dirty as usual. Water wasnt exactly chocolate milk, but may as well have been. Saw several dead drum laying on the beach. I think the reports of beach contamination was from animal feces. Seems like someone told me that. From what I understand its pretty much an annual thing. Didnt catch a thing. Not even a hardhead. Had one good bite on a Chart. Gulp swim mullet, but missed.

Moved to the jetty park and didnt catch anything there either. One guy was catching hardheads pretty regular and another was pulling in some pretty big catfish. Didnt get close enough to tell whether they were hardhead or gaftop. Saw a few dead redfish floating around.

Im just gonna have to wait on the elusive north wind before I go back.
