Grand Isle 7/13/11

The trout won this round today, we woke up this morning to a north west wind and the bay was a mess. We ended up with 15 trout on the beach fishing plastics and caught a ton of small fish. We ended the short day at 9:30 so we could get back the camp and clean up to get ready for our trip back to Houston. We fished near Elmer's Island, no pictures today. See I report the good and the bad.

The snapper are thick right now all over the coast, you just need to find a rig with 100 plus feet of water and they should be there.

My brother, Goathead, was down there Thursday and that NW wind had the bay choppy, choppy. He waded it and caught only a couple keeper trout on live shrimp. He ran to the surf and caught a few on Deadly Dudley Jrs in salt/pepper - chartreuse tail. It was flat, but sandy. He drove over to Elmer's and scored on some nice white trout w/ a few specks mixed in fishing along the road to the beach fishing w/ live shrimp and Sparkle Beetles rigged tandem. Stick and move was his method. He ended up w/ about 30 combined specks/whites. Biggest Speck was about 19 inches and fat.
