Guys’ Getaway Fishing Trip to Grand Isle: Enjoy Louisiana’s only inhabited barrier island and all it has to offer
with an overnight fishing trip to peaceful Grand Isle. Your host, Captain Elliot Guidry will welcome you and two
buddies to his fishing camp upon your arrival to Grand Isle with a Cajun feast, prepared by the captain himself.
After dinner retire to the screened porch to enjoy the warm gulf breeze while sipping on southern cocktails and
ice-cold beer. Captain Elliot will wake the camp before sunrise with coffee and a light breakfast before taking
you and your buddies to the marina where his top of the line fishing boat awaits. Captain Elliot, a native of
Bayou Lafourche, has been fishing the waterways of Grand Isle since childhood and knows the “hot spots” for
red fish and speckled trout. Not only will he and his deckhand supply all the rods, reels, and bait for your crew,
but they will clean and package your catch of the day. Must be redeemed after August 2012 and expires in
August 2013. Reservations must be made one month out from requested date. An afternoon fishing trip can
take the place of the morning fishing trip if winning bidder prefers.
