Anyone have any recent reports? Was thinking about heading there tomorrow morning with wind softly coming out of the north.

I've tried Elmer's a few times in the last month, but it was always pretty dirty from the river water. I tried to surf fish Fourchon beach last Sunday, but missed a good trout and foul hooked a hardhead fishing topwater and jerk baits. Water was cleaner and there were a ton of boats trying to fish around the rock barges. I didn't see many other people catching much at all, the ones that were catching had live bait on the bottom throwing back to the beach instead of the barges. I had better luck on the back side of the beach dragging matrix shad on the bottom in the interior marsh. It's close, but not quite ON just yet.

My FIL called me that for years, knowing full well that I never lived in Lockport. Close enough I guess.

I'm willing to bet that the bite will be out of control tomorrow on Elmers. Everything is lined up--water clarity, tides, water temps, bait, and the big trout coming to shore to start the spawn.

Theres a fence at elmers that stops you from driving into the beach. It’s a 300-400 yard walk from truck to water I’d say. Not awful but a cart helps.
