Does anybody know if crabs are in the surf at Grand Isle or Fourchon beach? Thinking about bringing the kids. Thanks

Chev,
How much of Fourchon is open to drive on? I haven't been yet but I heard that it was only a very small section. Also how crowded is it and how much trash are people leaving behind?

Might want to get it done this weekend because of the Tarpon Rodeo that is going on next weekend. We went last weekend and caught 9 dozen in 4 1/2 hours; plenty of eggs! The moon is getting full too

What effect does the moon have on crabs? I know what it does to my wife. LOL

I always heard the crabs & crawfish are always full (more meat), when harvested on or around the full moon. Drew..There were a tone of people, trucks, campers, tents, dogs; but everyone seemed to be picking up their trash. It was cleaner than usual.

You can only drive to the end of the barges and you get on the beach at the end of the road . you don't have to make the r. turn any more.
