Louisiana · Grand Isle / Barataria

Speckled trout should be the day — Caminada and the island backside as they empty.

Louisiana’s inhabited barrier island. Caminada and Barataria, the state-park surf and pier, trout and reds in the bays. NOAA 8761724 sits on the island. Do not fish it like Venice — this is a bay-and-beach desk, not the birdfoot.

Why — and who

  • — Tide is outgoing (modeled — the NOAA gauge did not answer).
  • — Clear. Sky is workable.
  • — Wind 12 mph NNW. Castable. Sight-fishing is on if the sun is out.
  • — New moon — spring tide range. Marsh and passes usually want the extra current of a spring.
