Bass Fishing in South Central Louisiana

Desperate for Some Advice

I live in south Baton Rouge and am desperate for some spots to throw my line out. I have no boat and only get to go fishing for a few hours on Monday mornings.

I'm just looking for some recommendations on spots where there might be some decent chance of catching bass/brim/sac (catch & release).

I'm looking for spots within 30 minutes of Baton Rouge that are accessible without a boat on a Monday. Absolutely any advice would be unbelievably appreciated.

Thank you!

Here's the best spot that I know of, a little more than a half hour away, but well worth it.

Location of Water Structure

Thanks Capt. Marty. I saw that post. However, I haven't been able to find where it is. I see the coordinates on the image/map, but I'm not sure where to plug those in without a GPS (which I don't have). Any way to get directions or an address I can mapquest?

Sorry for any hassle, but thanks SO much for the recommendation! Can't wait to try it.

google maps

You can put coordinates into google maps but they have to be formatted correctly. The coordinates from a GPS don't work in Google unless they are like this:

30.251616,-91.72465

copy those into google maps and look for the green arrow -- it's on the Catahoula Levee road and it's in St. Martinville

(edit)well I was totally wrong -- here's the math thanks to BaumZ

Google only supports decimal format.
To convert degrees minutes seconds to Google decimal format
Example:
91 43' 28.4'
30 15' 5.5'

Divide the seconds by 60 first, then add to the minutes. Divide the minutes by 60, then combine with the degrees to get the decimal format.

91 (43' + (28.4/60)) = 91 Degrees 43.4732'
91. (43.4732/60) = 91.72456

30 (15' + (5.5/60)) = 30 Degrees 15.0917'
30. (15.0917/60) = 30.2515


and from Capt Paul:
