Spent the first 25 years of my life surf fishing down there. Unfortunately, this will be my first time back in 20 years. Used to use almost exclusively sparkle beetles mostly chartreuse. What's hot down there right now? Any other major changes I need to know about? I heard there are some rock jetties now that are good to fish next too?
Thanks in advance.

just got back from GI w/ the kids. didn't fish too much and my only window was early morning and the tide was slack. there were abunch of throwbacks on elmer's isle area beach but if you fish it early or late w/ a moving tide, there should be some better fish. Also, there are plenty of rock jetties along GI to fish if you don't have a boat.
Sparkle beetles may be ok but be prepared to get some live bait if needed$$$

Voodo Shrimp or H2O shrimp under the cork should do the trick if you want to use artifical. me and a buddy put 40 in the ice chest with the H20 shrimp off a lighted dock 2 weeks ago in GI

I've been in Grand Isle since Monday.
The seaweed is gone. The tide has been funny this week with high tide being around 7:30-8:00 in the morning all week making for a slack tide very early. But the tide is shifting as we approach the full moon and high tide should start falling closer to noon.
I have found plentiful trout in front of Elmer's island but they have been small. I found bigger trout near the rocks in front of the state park.
We haven't seen any difference in throwing Vudu or TKO shrimp.
If you haven't been in a while I would most definitely invest in some Mirrolure mirrodine suspending shallow water baits. It's an awesome beach bait.
