WanderLust Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 Grand Isle has a ton of good spots. I fish there at least once a week in season. -Watermelon \ green pumpkin worms, craws & creature baits -Cranks (natural forage - perch, bluegill) to cover the water column I use alot of weightless plastic and focus on structure \ cover.

WanderLust Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Most of the stuff I fish in that area is shallow cover close to deeper water. Rock piles, bridges, docks and if you like flipping grass there's that too... Find the bait, use the wind and you'll find the fish. Real good largemouth fishing and some big smallies too. I also bagged a 41" Northern last year. Quote

Super User webertime Posted March 8, 2011 Super User Posted March 8, 2011 Lots of stuff up in Grand Isle. Wanderlust nailed it, I'll add find the reefs/humps/ledges off shore for big Smallies and check St. Albans Bay for nice LM. Zoom and Rage Tail Craws on a C-Rig. Quote

grampa1114 Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 Don't forget Holiday Point and Popasquash and you know it's catch and release only so bring a scale a tape and a camera and don't forget to hold on. Quote
