Inshore Fishing in Fourchon / Grand Isle in Southeast Louisiana

Fishing from shore in grand isle

Can someone please give me some pointers on where and what to use to catch specks and reds in grand isle! I'm taking my step daughter and not to sure where to try! I grew up catching specks and reds in north fl but not sure about grand isle! Also where can you get live shrimp and live bait! Id rather catch it than buy it! I have a 10 foot cast net and I know how to throw it! But I will buy some if I need to! I just want to show her a good time! Also do they catch sharks on the jetties! I have the gear for just about anything and I'm open for suggestions! Thank you!

10' Cast Net

Did you know that you need a gear license for a cast net larger than 8'....just letting you know...other wise all the marina on Grand Isle have live bait. I prefer Bridgeside.

supposedly the fishing has been better east of the island

Go to grand terre along the beach and look for the bait and birds working. just stay on the move if your not catching in one area. The bait was spotty west of the island this weekend. Some people with small live pogies were smashing them though.
