Snapper would be illegal in april I think? Might check before you go. I'm just a dumb texan, so double check me.

Hahaha you not dumb jus not from LA state opened snapper season this month fri sat an Sunday only through September! An state waters out to 10mi instead of 3 new this yr

you can try surf fishing might be starting to turn on. Also go back in the bays and fish moving water around points on islands there is a set of islands right behind GI in caminada bay that hold fish alot. also some rock jetties right behind the island and by the other islands i just mentioned.

Surf trout can be hit and miss that early. Mangrove snapper should be on-on in 30 feet rigs if you go a little further west towards Fourchon. And if you can find American reds inside of 10 miles and can dodge the USCG and NOAA, they're available Fri-Sun.

If you can get some days next week that are warmer ahead of your trip w/o any cold fronts blowing in, you may get a few in the surf. Try the bays near the passes because they are in transition. Those spots mentioned above are good palces to hang a few

Sorry that was first weekend in May 2009 when we caught all those trout in surf.

Haven't really shown up yet in the surf, still too cold. Lots of small trout behind the island, and a few 5 pounders have been caught in the last couple days in the marshes near Do Gris.

I got a buddy from leeville said the bites on further up the bayou so we may trailer our boats there! Thanks for the help fellas will try to remember to take pics!

The rock island that is mentioned above is called fifi island, better fishing on an out going tide, also try beauregaurd island, and any of the platflorms in the bay, i know gi pretty well and fish it about 15-20 times a year and have a friend that is a charter capt down there so he gives me all the hot tips, goodluck

Fifi island doesn't exist all a figment of your imagination. But if it does, fish the bay side of it on falling tide .

You must be hallucinating again... That island doesn't exist lol

I paid good money for these hallucinations and i want to keep them:eek:

anyone wanna PM me the around about location of this invisble island or rock jetties feel free i promise i wont fish them more than twice a yr!!! from vbay
