Potlicking is the norm over there. No kidding.

that was already planned lol I hope we can find some birds or something. I think we might have a hard time there. Like i said I'd rather stay in a rinky dink hotel around big lake or 20-25 minutes away from there.

Ok I'll chime in.
As of last week one of my more reliable conections was still catching a few big trout in the SURF at elmers??? Also, If it was moi, I would trailer and fish leville instead of grand isle proper.
The trout have /are moving up into the marsh and the fishing should be better north of fourchon than around the island.
Also if i was going this weekend i would leave the boat at home as the wind is going to be pretty bad and i know lots of spots to catch trout , reds and flounder from the bank.

Thank you eman! We aren't necessarily just fishing grande isle, we are just sleeping there. I don't mind driving 30-40 minutes in the morning to go fishing. Any info like the names of bays, reefs, or coordinates of them would be helpful. We don't go there often at all. We'll usually go once during the heat of the summer and thats it. V. Bay is where we usually go that week, but its not looking good...

This is where I'd start fishing in Barataria Bay if Lake P wasn't so hot. At this time of year, the trout are moving into the marsh and north towards Lafitte. All of these spots are less than 20 minutes by boat from Grand Isle, and they have good shell bottoms or oyster reefs.

If you fish the lake, focus on the reefs (which are marked with PVC) on the north west shorline on the opposite end of bayou blue. The sulphur mine is also good but crowded. The canels around the suphur mine can pay off this time of year.

Lastly, you can get on a good bite in the leeville area which is managable from Grand Isle. Focus on north Baratira bay, there are tons of reefs in the area. If you can cross the bayou to the west, little like has birds this time of year.

I grew up fishing this area, the fish should be all over. I think you will have a hard time finding trout down south near the island this time of year in traditional summer spots, head north.

Good luck

We pretty much figured we'd be running a lot, we just didn't know any spots to hit up north but we're going to go give it a shot. I'm trying to print all this info out or at least memorize it. Thanks again dude
