Inshore Fishing in Southeast Louisiana

Any help

I was curious if there is a possibility of brackish water to catch reds & bass? I have fished the lake carencro & lake lery area but from what I have heard catching bass in those areas is out of the picture for awhile due to the salt water intrusion from the storm surge. I new to fishing & from denham springs so I'm far from knowing many areas. Im all about learning new areas just looking for a little guidance in areas within 2 hours from my house. Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Thanx

Thanx for the tips. I would like to learn the area. Is it a good idea to get a map to the area or is google maps suffinect enough? I know nothing about salt water fishing. I just throw a spinner bait to catch reds & bass. How's the wind in the area? My 18' flat bottom xpress don't like the wind.

You have an aluminum boat, stick to the Biloxi Marsh or Delacroix marsh. You'll be able to go in places other fiberglass boats cringe. The fishing is heating up in these areas. Maybe a farther ride but the fall fishing is fantastic and easier in these areas.

Delacroix

I loved fishing the lake lery area. Only fished it a couple times but everytime I came home with all the fish I wanted after releasing the 3-4lb bass. I wish I could find a report on the bass fishing in the area but until I do I'm going to assume they all got killed from the storm surge. I fish the bayou pigeon area regularly and catch plenty bass & sac but on my most productive day I only brought home 8 keepers between 2 people. Thanks for yalls advice I'm definitely going to into those areas more. Work has me pretty himmed up for a little while so I'm hoping to wet my lines a couple more times before hunting season starts.
