TOMMY V Your the BEST , A true louisiana fishing legend So nice of you to take the time to teach your secret technique . I loved fishing the Freeport Sulphur Rigs, It was two large rigs with a large walkway connecting the two I loved that place . Again thank you for all the information.
Tommy, it's been several years but we used to snapper fish from Fouchon in the early 2000's. We fished from 21' Skeeter bay boat back then and had to pick our days. We could usually find some live pogies back in the dead end canals before we headed outta Belle Pass. Had some really good trips fishing toward the West Delta blocks. Is the LOOP still a No Man's Land area to avoid? We got ran out of the LOOP a couple time for inadvertently crossing the imaginary line. I wish I had taken better notes on our "good rigs" as we caught Genuines and Mangroves and the occasional lemon. If I recall water was about 50-60'.
My wife and I are going to Bay St. Louis and fish the reefs just as soon as it cools up some. Medical reason keep me from trying the heat at present time.
Enjoy the videos!! If you had one week to fish Grand Isle for easy fishing, when would it be? Trying to plan a trip down there, most of the people going have never fished before. I fish the east side, out of Campos. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Question: Are you required to use circle hooks to land "Reef Fish" in LA state waters? Or does that only apply to "offshore waters" in LA? Thanks for the video; lot's of great info!
In spring and fall they plentiful. In July. More mangroves and bulk reds but yes still some Red snapper. Lots of trash fish in summer. Sharks ladies and jacks
What a great video! Thank you for sharing your experience and insights. It’s great to see an old salt helping the next generation.

Question: Are you required to use circle hooks to land "Reef Fish" in LA state waters? Or does that only apply to "offshore waters" in LA? Thanks for the video; lot's of great info!
Yes All reef fish
Good info. What kind of rod do you use for that type of fishing?
Zook snapper rod
By any chance do the speckled trout hang out at the close rigs in 30 to 40 feet of water out of Grand Isle during the summer?
Yes but so many other species make it hard to get them
Just curious will you ever come to the Island
Yes.
having trouble with the map function what overlay do you use to show the rigs?
Not sure what you are asking
@@tommyvidrine unable to see oil and gas platforms
Tommy, got it figured our. Keep up your video's they are great
Can you catch red snapper at the GI 22 platform?
In spring and fall they plentiful. In July. More mangroves and bulk reds but yes still some Red snapper. Lots of trash fish in summer. Sharks ladies and jacks
