Hello again! I will be bringing my cousin to, or somewhere close to Grand Isle, Louisiana in mid-February to have his first experience with fishing. He is 24 and currently lives in Seattle, Washington. Any advice for fishing or lodging, would be greatly appreciated! (Best time of day, best weather conditions, best fish to attempt to catch, best lures/bait, bank fishing vs. boat fishing etc.)
ANYTHING really!!!
Thank you in advance!!!
Sincerely,
Melissa
Good morning, Milissa, and welcome to the Forum. Grand Isle sounds like a fun place to be in Feb. A lot better than MN. Evidently, they have the most common saltwater fish in the area, reds, specks, flounder, black drum, sheepshead, and of course, some nuisance fish also. Whether you are fishing from the bank or inshore, I would use live shrimp, ghost shrimp, or fish bites. Stop at the local bait shop and see what they have to say about the bait and where to go. Piers are always nice to fish off. The specks bite best from a lighted pier at night. They like silver spoons. Visit some YouTube videos for the rigs and how to fish them. Good luck, we do love pictures. Enjoy!
