What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Grand Isle, Louisiana for the first time?

We left the dock around 6am stopped at hot spot #1 loaded the boat with specks, then went out to play with some bull reds. Fighting the monsters with light tackle is a blast. We caught 4 and had one pop the line at the boat. Couldn't have been a better trip for us. We wanted a trout to take home and have the drag squeal a few times and that's what we got.

There are so many places to fish on and around Grand isle. You can fish from the beaches, from the roadsides, or from the fishing piers for free, or you can launch your own a boat at one of the marinas or free launches or hire a guide to take you fishing (inshore or offshore). It really depends on what you are after. And if you are staying at a camp on Grand Isle, everybody is friendly and free with fishing advice. Check for when certain fish are in season if you are targeting something specific. You can catch something on any day of the year, but you need to follow the creel and size limits and seasons. They are enforced.

If you are bringing kids make sure they have access to a dock, crab traps, and a cast net.

Fishing in Grand Isle is not a slam dunk if you do not know the area. Get a good guide.
