Wife and I want to take a trip to Grand Isle and fish for reds in March. If anyone can offer info about guides and lodging in the area I would appreciate it.
Grand Isle LA for reds
- Thread starter Snowwolfe
- Start date
Grandson & I fished here several years ago. Great place, food & put us on plenty of big fish. Even went offshore & fished around a few rigs.

Don't do it!!! You'll never be the same! Have fun!
Aaron Pierce is the best. I fish with him every year. Trout and redfish limits every day.

Does Aaron have a website? I struck out trying to find it
No info to give but have fun with those reds. They can peel that line out of your reel in a hurry. I'll be headed to fish the Lake Ponchartrain Trestles in April. Bucket list trip.
Drive one hour more. Ponchartrain is disgusting. Polluted.

Thanks. I'll give him a call next week and mention your name.
Appreciate the info
Called Aaron today. He told me hurricane Ida messed up the red fishing but he hopes it will pick back up towards end of March. I passed booking a trip with him. His charter is $900 a day. Maybe I'm out of touch but that seemed a little high for just 2 of us for inshore fishing.

Agreed. I can be at the trestles in 1h 45 min from my house, would rather fish MS marsh or further south to LA marsh.
Sure the trestles can be hot for HAMMER specks certain times of the year, but when it's on, it's just a giant welfare hole with boats all over. Plus, you need a day with very little wind (or a 22ft plus boat) .Much prettier places to fish within a hour drive of the trestles, IMO
Agreed 100%
He'll carry 4 for the same money. And you limit out. It'sa catching trip, not a fishing trip. He has a condo you stay in and you walk about 40' and hop in his boat at 6 am. You're back at the condo between 10-11am. He filets all your fish and cooks for you one night.
Well worth $900…
He never mentioned the condo and meal. Is that all included in the $900 price?
Thanks for the reply. Only two of us so unfortunately that $900 is a hard pill to swallow for 5 hours of fishing.
