Grand Isle Offshore: Cobia & Snapper Action with Bentrod Charters

It was another great day out on the water with GEORGE and their crew for our Private 8 Hour Offshore Fishing Trip in Grand Isle, Louisiana. June is a prime time for offshore fishing in these parts, as the warmer waters bring the fish closer to the surface, making for some exciting action. The weather was a mix of sun and clouds, with a chance of rain throughout the day, but that didn't dampen our spirits one bit.

We started the day off with a mix of deep sea, jigging, trolling, and heavy tackle techniques, working different depths to find the fish. The water conditions were excellent, and we could see baitfish breaking the surface, always a good sign. Though we didn't manage to land any big prizes, we still had a blast working the rods and trying our luck. Everyone in the group took turns at the helm, reeling in what they could, and we all shared a few laughs and high-fives when the lines went tight.

As the day went on, we switched it up, trying some lighter tackle and drift fishing approaches. The change in tactics kept things interesting, and we covered a lot of ground searching for the most productive areas. Even when the fish weren't cooperating, the scenery and camaraderie made it a trip to remember. Watching the sun dip low over the horizon, with the rhythmic rocking of the boat, is hard to beat.

If you're looking to experience some of the best offshore fishing Grand Isle, Louisiana has to offer, be sure to book a Private 8 Hour Offshore Fishing Trip with Bentrod Fishing Charters.
