My hippie bro in-law and our fams go down to Grand Isle every year for the last 5 and he even noticed that some of the little islands of marsh we were fishing have disappeared, he has some spots marked on his phone that are literally not there anymore.

Otherwise, I think the fishing this year is a little off all over the place due to the weather, even in north Louisiana. People are complaining about the fishing up there with white perch, with all kinds of interesting theories The winter time bite lasted way into March this year when you on normal years would be catching fish spawning. Just last weekend everyone fishing the banks were complaining about the lack of fish, we were able to find a bunch of fish still staged out waiting to spawn. 17 of the fish were females still full of eggs, and that is strange for late April on the lake we were fishing.

Can the eastern side of the state honestly be put in a fair comparison with our estuary? If you say that Sabine and Big Lake are nowhere near the same, then how on earth can the eastern side of the state be compared to Big Lake?
