Last week would have been great with that full moon out. You might want to try the platforms in Lake Racourci or Timbalier. The camps near the Fourchon boat launch have alot of flood lights and I have picked up a few Specks around there before on my way out. Watch the weather because these thunder storms have been kicking up at night also.

Yea I got a good taste of the thunderstorms this morning. Had to fish closer inside leeville and caught nothing but a bunch of rat reds and small specks. Over 20 and not one keeper.

How big of a boat do you have? There are some lighted platforms just northwest of Timbalier around Caillou Island area. They are 12 to 15 miles west of Fourchon. You would need to go out there in the daylight and plot a track on GPS if not familiar with the area. Dangerous out there due to all the well heads and stuff in the water. It can get very rough very quick out there too. I use to go out there all the time at night to one rig in particular and absolutely kill the trout. It wasnt even fair. But that was before hurricane Ike messed up that rig and BP took over our camp lease.

only 18 ft bay boat so it would have to be pretty calm to make that far of a run.

Leave the boat at home and fish the Fourchon side of the Grand Isle bridge, especially if you are going during a weekday. The bigger trout have been showing up around 2 a.m. and live shrimp or pogies is usually all the bigger trout will bite.

Hybrid Stripers@Ole Oxbow Lake

There also a Pier down@Sand Dollar that lets you fish the Rock area My brother Caught Specks,white trout there they were eating the Plastic Up

I guess it would be alot cheaper to just fish grand isle piers. do they have the lights under the piers too?

Nice stripers btw. I went trolling on lake st john in concordia parish a few weeks ago and caught a few stripers but they werent as i had hoped.

There are lights shining down underneath the Grand Isle bridge, which is why I suggested fishing there. DO NOT pull your boat up there because you will do nothing but tangle your lines with everybody fishing from the bridge. If you really want to fish from your boat there are a few camps on the bay side just west of Caminada pass that have some lights at the end of their piers. But, if you are going on a weekend I would imagine someone will be at those camps fishing as well.

The marinas, sand dollar, bridge side etc do have lighted piers. But they have big signs up that say FOR GUEST ONLY! So you are taking the chance on getting a trespass ticket if you fish them w/o permission. Can't say that i have ever seen anyone get a ticket ,but i have not been fishing there much since the BP spill. So fish them at your own risk.
