Anyone surf fishing holly beach area? whats the best bait to use?

get early morning and match bait with water---muddy (black/chart) clear (bone)--for trout and reds.


after sun comes up... opening night jerk jrs or sand eels for trout. Fish rocks with spinnerbaits/spoons for reds.

Cut mullet carolina rigged on the bottom for reds and the occasional shark(easy Fishin)

according to some friends it was slow and muddy last weekend

With this blustery south wind, you'd be crazy to waste your time down there.

Probably going out there a couple weekends from now. Do pretty good with fresh shrimp. Never tried artificials out there though. I see lots of people use spoons. What else you guys reccomend. Jordan, do you really use sand eels?

Topwater. But if the water is dirty, forget it. You might be able to catch some reds and gafftop in da mud with cut mullet and cracked crab.

I have killed on Topwater, sand eels, tsunami swimbaits, gulp, etc......all about the water....and I HATE live or dead bait. but thats just me.

TB

Well even if the waters dirty Im still gonna go. Probably get there early, throw out a canaply, fire up the grill, and down a few cold ones while the poles are in the water. Fish, no fish, i'll have a good time.

Thats what its all about right there.

In a few weekends you'll want to be on the beach in Grand Isle....That's where Ill be! Prime time in the surf!

Ive gone crabbing out there a few times, but never fished Grand Isle.

I've never caught a single fish on the beach using a sand eel...I've always found that the fish would prefer some sort of swim bait.

lsu deadly dudleys are my fave in the fall on the beach

went last Sunday caught 2 reds 2 trout water was muddy

X2 for the surf. I like the straight tail DD Jr.

I use DD's, Sand Eels, Jerk Jr.s, anything sparkling, opening night or glow.
Hit topwater first, then swap to soft plastic when topwater stops.

Wait for a North wind!!
Top water matched to water clarity (White with chartreuse head when clear and black with chartreuse head when murky) will smoke them from daybreak to about 8:15am.

same here 1 sandy 1 red in 1 hour in that chocolate milk. and that was after 3 days of north wind! :(

Right on Ray, that's pretty much exactly what i pack for da beach! well, a few gulp baits thrown in for good measure..

Use Cracked Crab...........under Cajun Thunder Pop N Cork
