Reply To: Grand Isle 5/1 – 5/4 Planning

I think you’ll get beat up at any of your spots on Friday. Tide is great though for the whole weekend.

I’ll be down there fishing the beach for Saturday morning, but not bringing the boat this weekend. If the beach is dirty, I won’t catch.

If I fished Friday, I’d have two plans:

1. Be directly behind the island and fish corks on points. Clean water shouldn’t be a huge problem, but the further north you go, the worse it will get on Friday. Hit em quick and move on if nothing. I usually find the tide is too strong for upcurrent. I let the cork drift down current from what you can see above water.

2. Head west behind Cheniere and hit the marsh there. I put a pin on a safe place to start from. You’ll be out of the wind for sure.

On Saturday, all your spots should be pretty good if the water is clean, which I’d hope is the case.

BTW, Just east and south of your point 13 is Hotel Sid – The rig is gone, but they just put a new CCA reef there last year. https://www.louisianasportsman.com/fishing/inshore-fishing/raising-canes-hotel-sid-reef/
