Advice might change a bit on time of year, but Grand Isle itself is a pretty good bet most months. Our last trip (Dec) we did very well from the beach on Elmer's Island facing the pass. In the past, we've done well from the bridge fishing pier in Feb and Mar. There's also a pier on the E end of the island in the state park. We've seen it get hot in the summer.
If you have proper surf rods and good casting distance, you can catch bull reds in the surf year round. I like to drive over to Elmer's Island because you can drive on the beach. However, if I were driving all the way from MO to LA I would park the camper at the Cameron Jetty Fishing Pier (SW LA) and bounce back and forth between fishing Rutherford beach (a few miles E) and the Jetty fishing pier. Of course, I'm a bull red junkie. If specks and slot reds are your thing, GI is a better bet.
