Grande Isle Ling and Dolphin
We are going in a 19' Mako deep V so we have a max range of say 40-50 miles out. Planning on bringing some frozen bait and some vertical jigs. Anyone think I can get on some other species besides snapper this close to shore? If so any suggestions? Thanks in advance and report to follow next week. |

eman,
Had a fellow tell me he got on all the Mangroves he wanted no further than six miles out of Belle Pass. You ought be be able to get on some Mangroves out of Grand Isle. I think the limit is 10 per man so that should give you a good meat haul. |

Yea, Mangrove and Red snapper should keep us busy. Just hoping to get a little variety in the fish box.

Sometimes if you chum for mangroves or reds some ling will come up too. Look for grass mats and bait and there should be tripletail or dolphin hangin out. Also any kind of buoy or floating trash will hold fish sometimes

When I was there 2 weeks ago, I saw some guys at a rig about 20 miles out in 100ft of water catching some monster (18 inch plus) white trout on live croaker on the bottom. I wanted to give it a try myself, but I was too tired to make another run out there. They said that they were planning a fish fry and they were merely picking up the groceries for supper. Looked like fun, and next time I head that way, I will definitely have some live croakers on board for this purpose.

thanks for the advice guys. We are going to give it a shot.
Trout on the bottom in 100' of water? That sounds strange. Definitely worth a try! |

I'm going down to GI Friday morning. Impact weather is saying Friday am 0-2 ' but 2-4' Saturday ( pretty uncomfortable in a 24' bay boat) so we r gonna run offshore Friday n trout fish the rest of the weekend

yeah white trout get huge offshore. Saturday will be pretty rough. You might want to rethink your trip. Its probably gonna be 3-5's is what Im seeing. Thats not gonna be fun or safe in a 19 ft boat. Plus if a storm kicks up while you are out there it will be even worse
