another insane weekend at Grandi Isle
 

Well... what can I say. This is turning out to be one of the best years I have had in GI.

Once again, I found my spot on the beach... Started the day at 0600 and threw the last of 50 trout in the box at 0830... back at my house in Belle Chasse at 1030. Tagged 10 tout between 18" and 14".

Bait of choice:
Pink she dog as my popping cork with pink champagne matrix 12" below on a 1/8 jig head.

Second bait of choice for the day was a Paul Brown's original pink suspending bait.

Was tagging all trout under 18"

Good report. Definitely a solid trout season on GI right now. Beautiful water too. Curious too see how it changes when the shrimp season opens. Been catching a few good ones on big Wedgetail swim baits.

is anyone catching them off the beach? Wade fishing?

yes there were a lot of people limiting out on the beach.

I am not a wade fishermen... with that said, because I fish from my boat, I have lost numerous large trout due to the contour of the beach and the channels that run parallel to it. The outside edge of those channels are filled with debris and when a large trout sucks that bait in it runs to the bottom and the line catches the debris snagging it and breaking the line... If I were smart, I would fish from the shoreline as those big girls right now are right in the surf about three feet in. At least where I am fishing.
