Grand Isle 7/17-7/18
 

Went down to the island to have a look around since LDWF opened everything up. I only saw one area around the state park that had some oil sheen that has not been cleaned up. Other than that, the water is beautiful.

Also, I honestly can't remember seeing the amount of bait in the water around Grand Isle. There's mullet and shrimp everywhere. Everywhere you look, birds are diving. Plenty of trout too.

I spent 2 days fishing the island and limited out each day. It didn't matter what you threw; topwater, plastics under a cork, corkys... they were hitting everything.

I didn't have time to take any pictures while I was on the water, just some of the aftermath!

I am thinking about going over there this weekend to fish, before they shut it down
again.

nice!!! if only the island in timb. bay were open

Awesome. U still cant surf fish though, right?

Nice fillets.Good job.

Those fillets look a lil oily...LOL j/k nice catch! I want to get down there soon before they close it.

Nope. Beaches are still closed.

You should only have to throw them in the pot to cook, no need to add oil it's mixed in the flesh.:*****:

Been hearin it's been good down there! Good job!

Man i'm drooling on my keyboard right now. Im dying to get down there. Hopefully in the next few weeks i can make it.

Good to hear, hopin for the best down there.

Good to see they're bitin. No fishing pressure helps a lot and to see it getting back to 'almost' normal. Missing that place more and more when I see reports like this. Keep us informed if you go back.

I'll probably be there Fri, Sat & Sun. I got a bunch of guys that want to go.

awesome, looks like your stocked up for a lil while.

I will be there late Thurs. night. Fishing Fri. and Sat., maybe Sun. morning.

can you wade fish in the bay? Off the back of the island is where i'm talking about

Yes, just no wading on the beaches.
