When do the trout start showing up on the beach in grand isle?

[woopazz403]

I usually fish elmers island surf around May but just bought a bay boat and I'm itching to make a trip. Usually fish around the pass and the surf. Anyone know when the trout start showing up? Guess ill try to learn the bay spots as well this summer since ill be in a boat...heard live bait is currently an issue. Not too worried though as I've caught many times on double beetles. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Depending on the winter I've seen them on the beach as early as March and as late as May. They are usually there well before people realize it.

It you do not know the area invest in the Captin Pauls GPS way points. Tons of information for a reasonable price.

The earliest I've caught trout in the surf in GI is 2nd to last weekend of April. I remember it was rough as shizz, but my lil bro and I braved it on a wade at Elmer's. Used Beetles and DOA Shrimp as I recall. Fish were nice quality, but not big numbers. Water had a chill but was comfortable enough. Can't remember how cold the winter was, but this was in '02.
If the surf isn't on, the open bays should be. The fish should be in transition from the marsh to open water and around the passes. Wouldn't doubt they're moving now.

With all this cold wacky weather, no telling what is gonna happen on the beach. Fish might not show up until June lol

people usually don't find out until its warm enough to get their feet wet but most patterns form around the shrimp seasons so middle of may is shrimp season so that means about a month before there should be lots of undersized shrimp in the area and the fish will be with them so as a rule of thumb its safe to say tax day would be a date you could pencil in as they should always be fish from then on.

translate that to mean (right about now) so there is a very good chance they are there now but no one is there to find out because its still too cold for surf fishing

Fished down there last weekend, trout arent even in the bays yet, fished all my bay spots with no success, all trout caught in 5-8ft of water in the marsh
