Last time I went it was 3’s mermentau river, 4’-6’ for 30 miles. We caught them but I was sore for a week.


This. Red snapper aren’t worth fighting 2’ seas or bigger. Every year I see lots of folks eager to get on them and go out on less than ideal days and get beat to death. And honestly the best part about fishing red snapper is to bring kids and wives, etc where everyone can have a blast catching strong fish. When it’s rough it’s a bad experience for them.

If less than 2’ go for it, otherwise stay at the camp. Ideally 1’ seas. Winds need to be under 10-15. Under 10 is best

Saturday’s forecast seems to be getting better according to Windfinder, looks to be ~2’ or less. If that holds we’re likely going out of Grand Isle.

Definitely moderated the forecast. I don’t think my GI buddy is too happy that I’m two timing on him to Venice, but he got an invite. Problem is, all our gear is down there, so Superior Tackle got more of my money. By luck, I had bright back two reels for repair and was so tired I just left them on their rods, so I was ok.
