Inshore Fishing in Fourchon / Grand Isle in Southeast Louisiana

Grand Isle fishing and gnats

Morning all,
I am making a trip to Grand Isle to fish Thursday. I was planning on fishing the pier at night for trout. I haven't been in a while. I was also gonna do some off the road fishin with my father in law and son in a 12ft flat. I usually fish the marsh by Fouchon and the pits. I have spots and i am not lookin for soemones spots. I am just curious if the trout and reds have started to show up yet. Any stories are greatly appreciated...
Oh yeah and how bad are the gnats... My son is 4.5years old.
If ya catch my drift.

Gnats / No-see-Ums and Trout

I spent the weekend in Leeville working on my camp and the No-See-Ums were viscious when the wind laid down. The only thing that worked for me was Bounce dryer sheets. I would wipe myself down with a couple and then tuck those into to my socks and hang two more from My hat. I can honestly say I had no issues with them after that. As for the fishing it has been tough to find trout, still a little early in the season, but there are a few being caught. I had a couple of young men borrow my battery charger friday and they seem to do okay on the trout dead shrimp fishe on the bottom.

Good luck,
Kirby

gnats

Stop at Gails bait shop in leeville on your way and get some Cactus Juice.

I know there's other things that work on gnats but this stuff is great and is also a sunblock.
