Nice job and thanks for the report.

Me too Casey! When I had my camp there, and was off for the summer, I spent many a day fishing the beach.

I can remember driving on the beach when I was younger from Fourchon to Elmer's Island so we didn't have to pay to get into Elmer's. If I had a dollar for all the fish that we caught, I'd be rich for sure. All you needed was a topwater Mirrolure, some speck rigs, a Mr. Champ and sparkle beetles. Maybe bring some bait shrimp to hit the marsh behind the beach for a red or two if the surf was too rough. Man I miss that!!
