I figure worst case I could at least fish the fourchon barges and some rigs out there to get my eyes on the area.

I fish out of a 16.5ft skiff

My buddy may be heading down in his boat but he’s wanting to try fourchon.
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.

We both have similar fiberglass hull boats. He has an Ankona cayenne. Our plan is to fish this Sunday and, as of now, the wind looks pretty good. We took our boats to the Chandys a couple weekends ago so they are definitely capable rigs.
Again, thanks a bunch guys. I’ll definitely be back to post a report.
If I hit GI my plan will be to fish the jetties, rock lines on the back side of the island, maybe look for some grass flats around the islands in the back (Dutch to Beauregard), and maybe the some of those rocks on the beach if the weather permits. I usually go out only looking for big trout so I’m assuming I’ll need to put eyes on a bunch of different areas to get a feel for the place.
