Haha that’s epic. Saw a sea turtle, too. Beautiful spot for sure

Thanks man! Something about fishing the coast down here hits different! (moved down from Arkansas last fall where I was previously used to fishing for smallmouth bass on a fly rod) To answer your questions-

“Why were you in deeper water for redfish? Why not get shallow?”

My thought process was that since the water felt like bathwater temp they may have stacked up in deeper areas. I should have worked the grass more, just didn’t see much going on across the banks.

“Forgive my ignorance, but is it not feasible to drag the kayak to the other side of the island and launch there? Or is it easier to use the marina and paddle around?”

I chose to launch at the marina for two reasons: I simply am not familiar with public beach access in Grand Isle. The state park website says it opens at 7am and I wanted to be on the water earlier than that. Second, I was planning to fish the marsh for redfish north of the marina after targeting trout in the Gulf, so launching at the marina was a convenient middle ground.

Appreciate the feedback. Have learned a lot from your videos

Thanks again for the guidance,

I paddled down the pass without too much trouble and had some success by the beaches and between the rocks this evening. (12-14” specks). Planning to try belle pass tomorrow.

Yes I’ll give it a try, thanks for the tip!
