- Following are some photos from a great fishing trip that
Lynn and Charlie made to Grand
Isle, Lousiana in early September, 2001. We visited Lynn's
cousin Marion and her husband Kenny, who have a wonderful fishing
camp there. Grand Isle is located in the Cajun country in the
very southeast part of Louisiana. It is one of the U.S.'s
great fishing
spots, with fabulous
fishing in the local bays and out in the Gulf of Mexico offshore.
This was our first trip to the area.
-
- On this trip we made morning forays out into Barataria Bay
on Kenny's and Marion's 22 foot, 225 hp fishing boat, fishing
for Speckled Trout and
Redfish. The local folks say that Kenny
is as knowledgeable about fishing in the area as are the best
local guides. We had tons of fun and lots of fishing action.
Charlie caught the biggest Bull Red (28 pounds) and Lynn caught
the biggest Speckled Trout (4 pounds) of the trip, and we took
many great memories home with us.
An update: We made another trip to Grand Isle to visit Marion
and Kenny in May, 2003, and took more photos of the fishing-camp life-style in
the area. This link will take you to those
additional photos, which include camp scenes on
Grand Isle, a swamp tour in Houma,
preparing fish and shrimp in camp, and
enjoying a wonderful Cajun seafood cookout with
family and friends.
