Gonna be in grand isle middle of august and want to try some wade fishing any suggestions on gear bait location

August is a tough month unless you are using live bait over there. Croakers work the best in august imo.

August was good last year for us the two times I went. The very tip of Elmers at Caminada Pass there were birds working shrimp and we did well with a double sparkle beetle rig. The beach at Grand Isle is much less crowded though and right at daylight if you find some schools of bait throw a topwater or a gold spoon and reel fast enough where its just under the surface and coming on top occasionally they will smoke it. After about 9 the shallow bite dies and the rocks are where they are. There is usually a sandbar right behind the rocks that you can walk out to if the tide is low.

On up in the day if the specks aren't cooperating you can tie on a cut mullet or cracked crab at the end of Elmers and throw it in the pass and catch bull reds and/or sharks

The night fishing will be good. You'll probably have to cull through the smaller fish in the surf or bays. Tops early and late, Sparkle beetles or other plastics, and live baits. Catch some crabs when the fishing slows to pass the time so you can drink and have some dinner for later. Good luck!!
