Fish in Grand Isle, La. Saturday, and Sunday. We could even hit the backwaters for mid sized reds in the 22-28" range on the fly. Fish targeted (Bull Reds, Big Uglies, Sharks)
Monday head out of Grand Isle around 0600, and drive to Tampa, Fl arriving around 2000. Fish Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Fish targeted (Gator Trout, mid sized Reds, and Snook).
Friday around 0600 leave Tampa and head to Panacea, Fl for Big Uglies, Door Mats, and mid to Bull sized Reds. Fish Friday evening, all day Saturday, and until around noon Sunday. Sunday around noon head back to Tennessee arriving in the early evening.
Another option is skipping out on Tampa, or Panacea, Fl and hitting Pensacola, Fl instead. for a little bridge and deep water fishing.
This is only a 2300/2500 mile round trip. I done one last November to Grand Isle, Corpus Christi, Tyler/Mineola TX, Alabama then Mcminnville, TN back home that was around 6,000 miles and it was a blast.
