Went last week and did fairly well despite the lack of tide. The beach of Grand Isle should be good, just fish the troughs between the rockpiles early and late. We fished to the west of Caminada Bay in a small boat just fishing the marsh and caught plenty of trout while we were really targeting redfish. When you put in at Bridgeside you can go back under the bridge and fish the rockpiles right there and usually catch some trout and reds, if you use shrimp you are gonna catch plenty of croakers and catfish. You may find some birds around Caminada Bay as well.

Elmer's Island was not doing much while we were there but maybe now.

If you want to catch something big, you can put a cracked crab on the bottom in Caminada Pass and catch bull reds
