Here in the southeast part of the state Grand Isle maybe the worst place to fish trout during the winter months, limits of trout can be had north of GI. Not sure what you are comparing Grand Isle to LOL

If you only knew... Only fished 3-5 days a week for the 8 years I was stationed down there, defiantly the worst fishery in the state

I never said it was the worst fishery in the state, I said it was not any good for trout in the winter. Ok guys GI is the Real CAJUN BAHAMAS, I know you are prob talking about the roadside canals on LA1 on the way down to GI not GI during colder months.

No your right your not going to catch a trout off the beach in the winter I understand that but you can take a 5 min ride off of the island or a 10 min boat ride and hammer them. Not any different than any other area in the state where there will be a boat ride involved. In my opinion the winter time fishery was great over there all of the marsh west of grand isle including the pits off LA1 hold fish usually between mid Nov through the end of Feb. The beach usually turned on as early as March and as late as May or June depending on the winter I've even caught trout in the surf into November. Like I said great fishery don't know what else to compare it to I averaged 2k fish a year the last 5 years I was down there. I was transferred over to Lake Charles last summer and have been fishing on this side ever since I love this place too I don't catch the numbers over here but the size defiantly makes up for that.
