I had a long weekend planned in Grand Isle for this past weekend. I fished Sat., Sun. and Mon. To say the fishing down there is fantastic is an understatement.
Saturday I went with my little cousin and 2 of his buddies. We fished the beach on Fourchon since there was a stiff north wind blowing. The trout were going crazy. We boated our 100 trout before 9:30 and beat the heat back to the house. Everything we caught was on plastics.
Sunday I went out with my dad, uncle and another cousin. Went back to the same stretch I was fishing on Saturday. The fish weren't fast and furious like Saturday, but the trout were a lot bigger. My little cousin Ross had the big fish of the day that weighed in @ 6lbs on the cheapie boga. It's probably going on his wall, a person best for him. We closed out with another 100 trout, all on plastic.
Monday I met up with some friends of my girlfriend at her camp and took them fishing. I made another trip back to the beach. Today was a bit slower, with a lot of miss fish and escapees right at the boat. Although we didn't limit out this day, we put together a solid box of fish. We had a 4 lber, a 3 1/2, and about 10 in the 2-3 lb range. The girls were all smiles as they whooped the guys in the other boat's arse!
It was a great weekend on the island and I'll probably be back out there again next weekend!
