Hey Jamie, great to have you! I always wondered what the beach bite in Grand Isle would be like when the wind is honking out of the north. Or even when it’s calm, there has to be something at the Fourchon Barges, Timbalier Island rocks and Belle Pass. There must be. Or just run north to wherever @WestbankJosh is fishing. lol That man cannot be stopped.
I’m sure the marsh west of GI is worth looking at, but one time I went running back there and gates and “no trespassing” signs where everywhere. That was the Harrison Judgment Area IIRC. We know fish stack up on Hwy 1, so I’d look for how they get there then kablammer them with a boat.
Of course, the Sulphur Mine is good, but that would be a wee bit of a run. Do you keep your boat on a slip or trailer? Maybe towing to Bayou Blue Marina off 24 could be good. Big Bayou Blue probably kicks ass right about now.
But one place that I think could hold some serious hammer speckled trout is the Flotation Canal in Port Fourchon, especially after a strong cold front blows through. You would be a hero if you found them in there. No one told me to fish there, I’m just eyeballing it off what I know and how to fish the conditions. A look at Navionics might reveal more.
Either way, thank you for introducing yourself and I hope to see some reports. Do not hesitate to ask for any kind of help planning your next fishing trip.
