My fav place in the world to fish is to launch at the public launch and head over out of belle pass and then turn east towards Grand Isle working the beach all the way over to Elmers. When I lived in Baton Rouge I was there just about the entire summer.

Nice job and thanks for the report.

Help me out. Do you mean east toward Grand Isle?

West out of Belle Pass is toward E. Timbalier, or am I turned around?

You are correct. Grand Isle is east (actually northeast) of Port Fourchon. If you turn right out of Belle Pass into Bay Marchand.....you are headed west toward E. Timbalier.

Lol no you are right, I need to slow down and pay attention to what I am typing. I have made the trip west to timb several times and done well but I prefer heading east on the beach.

Me too. That area is my favorite. I'm heading there memorial day week.

Me too Casey! When I had my camp there, and was off for the summer, I spent many a day fishing the beach.

I can remember driving on the beach when I was younger from Fourchon to Elmer's Island so we didn't have to pay to get into Elmer's. If I had a dollar for all the fish that we caught, I'd be rich for sure. All you needed was a topwater Mirrolure, some speck rigs, a Mr. Champ and sparkle beetles. Maybe bring some bait shrimp to hit the marsh behind the beach for a red or two if the surf was too rough. Man I miss that!!

Yes sir, great times. Ending the day with a burger from Bridgeside or Sand Dollar on the other side was not a bad thing either.
