Cobia |
|
|
|
|
|
Cobia favor structure, be it a channel marker, buoy or even a piece of floating debris. They lurk around these objects, waiting for shrimp, crabs and small fishes to wander within reach. It is rare to find cobia that are not hungry, knowledgeable fishermen give at least a quick look around any type of structure they may happen to pass.
If you should find cobia during your fishing trip, nearly any live bait will entice a strike, but be forewarned, a large cobia can give you a long, hard fight and will likely leave you with several aching muscles. Cobia are excellent eating. |

Grand Isle is the "Jewel of Louisiana," a historic fishing village on the Gulf of Mexico, tiny in size, just eight and one half miles in length and three quarters of mile in width. Grand Isle is more properly measured by the boundless warmth, good humor and unmatched hospitality of its residents.
Unlike other "resort" communities, Grand Isle hasn't chosen to go modern. It possess an unpretentious mystique that is as warm and comfortable as South Louisiana hospitality. That is why generations of sport-fishermen return year after to bask the sun and bathe in the gentle surf. They keep coming back to fish, either on shore or off shore where the big ones wait to feed, either near the giant rigs or in open water, or the back bay.
At Grand Isle, shell collectors prowl the beach by day while at night the flickering glow of lanterns illuminate beach as nocturnal fishermen reap a harvest of flounder feeding along the shore line.
The history of Grand Isle is filled with pirate lore. Treasure hunters have searched in vain for gold and silver that is said to have been buried somewhere on Grand Isle. |

For most of the year, Grand Isle with mild temperatures and clear weather, is a leisurely place that attracts visitors who come to fish, walk the beach, explore the dense undergrowth at the center of the island and observe the hundreds of thousands of migrating birds who make Grand Isle their first stop for rest when they return from the tropics across the central Gulf of Mexico. |
