Delacroix is less than an hour from New Orleans, and about two hours from Baton Rouge, so day trips there are easy.
But the best way to fish the place is to stay a couple of days.
Ten years ago, there was virtually no commercial lodging in the area, but now there are several options. Perhaps the most convenient is onsite at Sweetwater Marina.
The elevated condos there are clean, fully-furnished and ultra comfortable, each sleeping up to six people. The kitchenettes include microwaves and electric griddles, and guests have access to frying gear, as well as barbecue pits.
Rates vary according to length of stay and size of groups. Visit www.delacroixfishing.com or call 504-453-8382 for more information.
