All you need is a pulse to catch fish/crabs in Grand Isle.

We are talking blue crabs? Right?

So, just popping cork with some shrimp and let 'er rip for trout? I am thinking a sinker will yield a bounty of hardheads.

I have caught many of fish along la 1 and behind Elmer's Island without a boat when the water was moving. Caught a limit of reds along the highway last summer on my way down to the island.

I don't understand the Rucker rig. To me, it seems like there is too much leader line, but who am I to question because he can flat out catch.

I kayak fish the first concrete bridge between Fourchon and GI quite often. There's always people fishing there. The second bridge more of a winter spot for me since I can get to the snake pit faster. If there's good flow through one of the bridges, try topwater early and then live bait.

That or wade fish at Elmers. Heard they've been doing well

bayboat > kayak > wade fishing

but regardless, you can catch lots of fish wade fishing. the parallel rocks off the beach of GI are breakwaters, and you can catch all around them however you fish. You can also catch off the beach with no breakwaters and off the beach at Elmers and Fourchon. A net and stringer are very helpful.

no, long heavy duty stringer with brass point and crabtrab float. First 18" may be dipped too.

Notre Dame guy from yesterday asked me about your friend with the large neck.

Blue Crab/Rock Crab

Live shrimp if your not on a dock in the middle of the night or in a boat.

I would have two popping corks one with live and the other with artificial. One line on the bottom with live.

I used to have one of these. Could hold fish, a little bit of tackle and two rods. Wasn't perfect but did the job.
