There is a few restaurants on the island. All of them are pretty good

Tyds is great for tackle. One of my favorites. They have a great selection of Bill Fish heavy duty barrel swivels and snap swivels. Best stuff around. I like their gumbo also. Their bait selection often excludes frozen mullet, but Bridgeside is very dependable for mullet.

My teens and I love the Jo-Bob burger. But you are not in TX any more. Almost all the places you can eat on GI are pretty darn good. I don't recall ever having a bad meal there.

Our experience with ladyfish around GI is that they are hit and miss, mostly miss, at least when we are there. Someone else may have the secret.

Most helpful! Especially appreciated MathGeek's informative phone call.

Now..
We will be coming in from East Texas on 49.
When we get into Cajun Country, we will be looking for a good tackle store that will be along our route. Especially need to buy terminnal tackle to make some heavy duty leaders for sharks. Wire,sleeves, barrel swivels etc.
Recommendations?

Is their a decent ladyfish population around Camidina Pass?

A decent restaurant on Grande Isle? Especially one that serves a really good breakfast.

Is there a WalMart in one of the towns above GI?

Best bait shop around the island?


Thanks!

Enjoyed talking with you on the phone. Have a great time.
