I appreciate it, fellas. My buddy may be heading down in his boat but he’s wanting to try fourchon. I figured grand isle would be a bit easier for my first time down there but we shall see. I figure worst case I could at least fish the fourchon barges and some rigs out there to get my eyes on the area.
Staying in grand isle mid June so I’ll definitely check out some of the food spots yall mentioned.

Go to YouTube and lookup Tommy Vidrine’s YouTube channel and scroll to the videos from before Hurricane Ida which was before he moved to the Mississippi gulf coast. He has a lot of really specific location and “how to” videos specific to Grand Isle. Very helpful if you are new to fishing the area.

16.5 foot skiff. Is your skiff an aluminum flat boat ? If so what kind of boat does your buddy have ? Using an aluminum boat to run out of the Fourchon jetties , then down the beach to the barges could perhaps be dicey on the wrong weather day. Using it to run to “ rigs” in the GOM could get especially dicey. Although I haven’t seen a drilling “ rig “ or “ rigs” around Fourchon in years. There are still some old platforms to fish.

There’s lots of fishing inside at both Fourchon and Grand Isle.
Lots of good info in this thread for you. Good Fishing.

Lots of good info for you n this
