We’re heading out on a fishing trip to Grand Isle next week, if this stupid hurricane Ike doesn’t mess things up that is. It should be a lot of fun, even if we don’t catch a mess of fish. I’d still like to catch a whole boat load of fish if we can though. If you’re not familiar with Grand Isle, here’s a little info on it from Wikipedia:

Grand Isle is a barrier island, bordered on the east by Barataria Pass and on the west by Caminada Pass. It was formed virtually by the Gulf of Mexico’s wave action and is considered to be a relatively recent geographical development. Though increasing erosion and exposure to various hurricanes have taken a toll on its dwindling width, efforts in recent years have been made to reconstruct it with sand, seareed (beach grass) and some rock-boulder barriers at strategic locations.
