Question about bank fishing Elmer's island.

What will you be fishing for?
Most of the shore is gently sloping.
On the NE end of Elmer's, right by the pass, there is a sharper change in depth. In fact, if you are wade fishing and not paying attention, a misstep could put you in over your head!
It happened to me last summer.

Surf

Some of the cuts that cross under the road you can catch reds in them sometimes

Cast net can get you some live skrimps for bait.

Yak would be cool to have

I am researching a restoration project down there for my masters

April the beach started, May got better. The Forbidden Hole and the bridges are good Jan-Mar. Which project, Caminada headlands?

It's actually a really easy place to surf fish. I
There's a drop off about 30-50 yards from the shore that holds fish. Mornings they will hit top dogs. Mirrordines and rattletraps work good. Of course cocaine (live shrimp) is always good to have

Yes, the caminada headlands.

What's the forbidden hole?

I would suggest some rocks in the Thunder Bayou area where it is overwashing. None of that burrito shite either needs to be in 3' of water.

For one thing it aint a "Bank".

Its da beach or the shore

There are numerous places to fish besides the beach. When the tide is falling, you can catch tons of reds right there at the bridge on Hwy 1 at the entrance. You can bank fish all the way along that bayou, and even wade fish the bay that it flows into, that connects with Caminada Pass. There are alos canals on the right side of the access road that you can bank fish in, or kayak fish. I rarley surf fish there because there are no breakwaters. I just fish the beach at Grand Isle for the rocks.

you can rent one on the cheap from Bobby Lynns

One Of the guys who was leading he charge for the CH project already left CPRA before dirt turned haha. He was a good dude.
