Freshwater Fishing in Louisiana

Freshwater bank fishing

Could anyone tell me some good freshwater bank fishing spots for bass and sac a lait in southern Louisiana? I live in the new orleans area. I would like it to be under a 45 minute drive. If you can, please tell me what lures to use. Thanks. (besides City Park) Just looking for something different that would hold some good fish. I also heard that the ponds by lake salvador had some nice bass and sac a lait, could anyone tell me about that.

Do you like Thin Fried Cat fish

Just take the old road to Manchac and fish all the run outs. If you can get a falling tide you will have a good time. Get a net and dip for grass shrimp best bait for all kinds of freshwater fish.

Try any of the cutouts on Hwy 51

between LaPlace, Ruddock, Manchac parallel/under Interstate 55. As someone stated use grass shrimp if you can get them but crickets/redworms will do also. Good luck.
