I just got a report that the water was pretty and green as well as pretty calm. But . . The trout are not there or at least my contact says they aren't catching. Sounds similar to what I found at Fourchon 2 weeks ago.
I will be heading down Monday morning and staying through till next Saturday.

I didn't see anyone catching by the rocks in front of my camp. Plenty of people trying though.

Just like the rest of the La. Coast this year keeper trout are scarce in grand isle from one end to the other. I've heard lots of opinions but mine is the absense of bait means no trout. Why the absense of bait ?????

They're there, but I have yet to get on a school of them and just put a killing on 'em. But then I fish out of a kayak, so that rarely happens anyway!
This was Saturday's result down on the island:
Caught all but two in the early morning on the backside of the island; took a boat trip with a buddy in the afternoon and found two more.
The water was clearer than it has been lately, but still pretty murky. Plenty of bait- pogies, shrimp and mullet- all over. I was fishing topwaters as the sun came up and then switched to live shrimp when the top bit slowed.
Good luck

I keep hearing this, but me and my buddies who fish out of Cocodrie are having a great summer. Today we caught 34 specks and regarded it as a bad day. This is the first time we found small fish, but we've been killing them.

absense of bait
The only thing I've heard is that there are fewer croakers than in years past, but the shrimpers appear to be having a great year....albeit they got started way later due to the late cold weather.
As far as some theories on why specks could be scarce this year:
1. The last few years we've had higher than usual river levels for long periods, which could have pushed spawning fish further away to higher salinities.
2. The cold weather we had this year may have affected fish more than folks were able to fully ascertain. I didn't see many reports of fish kills, but I guess it's possible some occurred and no one found them.
