Going on a bachelor trip in late May and looking for recommendations for reputable fishing guides in the area.

We will be looking to target trout and any tips or recommendations are appreciated. Thanks.

If the weather goes your way you should be able to smoke them straight off the beach wade fishing

Did my bachelor trip last year, Memorial Day weekend, to Grand Isle

We wade fished about 400 yds down to the left from the first public beach as soon as you come on to the island. Just left of that third jetty.

Limited out Saturday and Sunday morning. Was the best two days of fishing of my entire life.

My stringer from Saturday morning

I hope you guys have already booked your accommodations. There are far fewer hotel rooms and camps for rent after Ida.

You’ll do well fishing either the West end of the island or from Elmer’s island during the summer months.

Our neighbor runs the free shuttle service on Elmer’s which is really convenient.

Bring a cast net for shrimp. You can fill an ice chest in no time.

Get a guide for a bachelor party. unless everyone is an expert fisherman and has all their own tackle. A guided trip will be better for a group of people

Did mine and brother's bachelor party trips with Capt Frank Dreher with Laid Back Charter. No complaints and had a great time.

I know you said trout, but I'm going to throw this out there.

Southern Pride Charters out of Wakeside has a headboat they take out for day trips. You're probably going before snapper opens up, but it might still be something to consider for a bachelor party.

The ads I have seen for day trips were $250/person, everything included but food and drinks. They have ac and bunks. It could be cool for the group to all be together, hanging drinking and fishing instead of being split up on bay boats for trout.
