Swollfest

Some Grand Isle love for some really good people. 💚

Our friends at Coastal Realty Group - Grand Isle Sales and Rentals have been part of the Swollfest family for years, always showing up for us and finding ways to help make Rodeo Weekend happen. We’re incredibly thankful for their friendship, generosity, and all they continue to do for Swollfest year after year.

And if you’re ever looking for a place to stay on the island, you know we’re sending you their way 😉 Give our friends at Coastal Realty a call and let the locals take care of you!

You know the faces behind the scales. Now give ’em a little love! 💚

Every fish that comes through Swollfest means a weight to record, a species to track, a team to keep up with – and Kaelah and Shelby are right there in the middle of it all.

Three days of weigh-in...A LOT of fish...Even more numbers...And somehow, they keep us straight through all of it!

We sure are lucky to have these two on our Board and at the scales every second weekend of June.

There’s a little something for everybody at Swollfest. 🎣

And for our littlest crew? We make sure there’s plenty of fun waiting back at the marina, too. 💚

Rodeo Weekend is a family affair around here!

There are worse ways to spend a Saturday in June...A couple fish in hand, a whole lot of bragging rights, and another Swollfest weekend in the books.

Some of our favorite memories every year are watching the next generation make a few of their own! 🎣 💙

First time fishing for Mangrove Snapper... and he walks away with 1st Place! 🏆🎣

Our 2026 Inspirational Award Recipient, Mollea Hood, isn't done making memories just yet! 💙

This fall, Swollfest is sending Mollea back out with our friends at Midnight Blue Bowfishing Charters & Alligator Hunts for a Louisiana alligator hunt!

After an unforgettable fishing trip together during Rodeo weekend, we can't wait to see what this next adventure has in store.

Stay tuned... we have a feeling it's going to be a good one! 🐊
