Elmer's Island

My brother, beat friend, and myself are going surf fishing on Elmer's Island tomorrow. Any reports from this past week? I read in some other threads that there is seaweed 2 feet thick but you can walk past that and get into the water. Anybody been catching trout?

Yeah. Caught a few in the surf on Wednesday. On GI

On memorial day, I caught a few around the bend on the pass side and a few on the regular beach/gulf side. Seaweed was (I thought) bad then, but I've heard it's worse. But water was fine, and I hear it still is. I'd get down on the beach by a little after 5, throw a topwater and then switch to croakers.
Haven't been since, though I'd like to go down Sunday. Good luck.

seaweed covers the whole beach even way west past elmers. thick. Some weed in the water but still cleaner than it has been

Seaweed was bad today on all beaches. There are fish though.

You basically have to climb over it it's so thick. I tried tight lining a crab on a 12 ounce weight and the seaweed pulled it up to the beach and it was buried a foot deep. Stingrays everywhere but water clear. This was last Saturday.

What top water baits you used if you don't mind me asking. We are hoping to arrive by 4 am just to make sure we can take our time getting everything done.

She dog in white with the red head. Didn't catch any last time though I had a blow up. I got there late though and Sun was way up. I've had most success on a yellow top dog.
I like to be at coastal at 5 when they open then go straight to the beach. Damn I wanna go but have yard work.

I was using matrix shad and catching rays on them. Usually use mirrolures. I'm driving down now. Gonna fish the bridge tonight first then try surf.

Mirrolure mirrodine shallow water suspending bait.
Make sure to have one. My favorite summer beach bait. Pink and chartreuse.

Me and Bourg tore em up at West Tim this morning 75 by 9 and they turned off after tide went slack

Water was muddy all day. The three of us caught 14 trout
Posted on 6/21/14 at 9:08 pm to Geauxdaddy88
I got 1 catfish, probably left to fish the road at about 8:30. Seaweed was worse last week, water dirtier this week.

Water was green Thursday

one thing I did learn is that they dont close the gate at Elmers, not sure I would want to be out there at night though.

Good for y'all - front or backside of Tim? We were just north of there at what is left of Caillou Island. Did not do near that well but had some fun. First time I ran that far west - nice area!

Gulf side. Came S from Dulac and headed east at the gulf side and saw birds working a spot hard ab halfway down the island. Stopped there and never moved til we had ab 65 keepers.
