Fishing Grand Isle

Cocodrie, Port Fourchon, Grand Isle and Venice: endless marsh, barrier islands and the mouth of the Mississippi.

What's biting now (Fall): One of the best seasons: speckled trout move into the marsh and lakes, and redfish school up along shorelines.

Commonly caught in this area: Redfish, speckled trout, black drum, sheepshead and tarpon.

Also caught here: croaker, Spanish mackerel, jack crevalle, tripletail, hardhead catfish.

Read the beach before you cast: look for darker troughs, rip currents and cuts in the sandbar where fish feed. Sand fleas and shrimp are reliable surf baits, and the first and last hours of daylight are usually best.

How the bite outlook works

The rating is our estimate, not a guarantee. It combines tide range, wind, rain and storms, temperature swings, the moon phase and how well the solunar periods line up with dawn and dusk. Fish do not read forecasts - local knowledge always wins. Read more
