Grand Isle help needed
 

Headed down to grand isle area fishing for specks and reds. Taking the wife and kids fishing and was wondering where we could go to catch some. We need some help. Thanks

Beach. With or without boat that's where is start

I will have my 20ft Carolina skiff

Would the beach be with a cork

Throw live shrimp under a cork, and throw live shrimp Carolina rigged. Switch to whichever one is working best.

You can pop them on top early but they chill out once the sun is up. Carolina rigged shrimp or croakers. Rocks around the state park are good.

The beach is that Elmer's Island beach or GI beach. What about the Foushan jetties.

yes... as well as the rock piles to the east of the jetties

Thanks for the help

Last weekend in the gulf fished rocks from west to east caught lots of small ones but managed to boat a few keepers. We went to Fouchon jetties the nest day bigger fish then got on birds and 1-8 keepers to throw backs, needless to say we caught a ton of fish even in the bay fishing points that current breaks. live shrimp was bait of choice although i fished clear sparkle beetle 1/8oz wt and caught just as many fish as live bait.

That sounds fun

try a clear/red flake tko shrimp too. I take it off the hook they give you and put it on a jighead. I also usually take the weight out of the shrimp

I head of some folks catching at the grand isle rocks, at least that's what they told me. Not sure which "rocks" though and queen bess island. All on shrimp.

that normally means the rocks that run parallel with the beach

The rocks at the west side o the island and the underwater rocks at the east end have been giving up nice trout on free lined shrimp and croakers.

Hit the inside rocks on GI (East side) and found a ton of fish. Mostly small but was able was able to throw a few in the box for lunch today before heading back out there.

Watch for the Jacks, they were all over the place and really got the better of me as they broke my favorite rod and took my favorite rig (she dog with H/R jig head)

At the end of the day I tagged 15 trout kept 8 and threw back about 15 or 20 more.

Most were caught on live shrimp next to the rocks under a popping cork.

as a reference, the big one is 18"


this is what the Jack did to my Ugly Stik G2X :cry:

I plan on putting the boat in again today at 1300 to head to GI and try it again, anyone else interested?

Wow. This all sounds great
