Going down this weekend. It has been a very long time since I have done this. Artificial? Live bait? Any reports. Access to the area? Does fishing the tides make a big difference? If so, what tide is best to fish?Literally any and all helpful tips are appreciated. TIA

Stand on the beach and cast into the water.

Do not try to launch a boat from the beach. Go to the Friends of Grand Isle Facebook page to see what some genius did yesterday.

We caught a 2 man limit Sunday morning by 930am, started with live shrimp under cork then once we got going they hit everything, vudu shrimp under cork, H&H (Opening Night/Chart), even Redfish magic spinner baits. We were about 1/4 mile west of pass, about 2 cast from the shore.

Don't go out as far as you think you need to. A lot of times the fish are right in front if you and you are casting past them. You have to find the sweet spot.

Latest LA Sportsman has a big write up on Elmers. I'm sure if it hasn't been busy it will now.

What's the surf look like on Elmer's? I want to try and launch my Hobie from the beach if the waves aren't too bad.
