i think they are so close its not enough difference between the locations to mean much.

you might notice when fish are still on the outside before moving to the inside there are times the trout stack up outside the main bayous and canals because they arent ready to move inside yet but once they do decide move farther inland and into those areas, there are still more then enough fish that will stay there on the outer edges of the inland marsh and they dont go farther inland.

i dont see a time where i would think leeville wont hold much fish or it isnt worth trying but cfl on the other hand can be slow when waiting for them to move in so during the transition period of them moving inland then leeville has a slight edge on my opinion of which area to expect to produce more fish.

often you will hear it said you wait for the second cold front in october before you go looking inland for concentrations of trout

You said they are so close that is may not matter... My dad had also ways told me to fish from October through December, but he always fished laffite does the fall migration have a big affect on laffite? Is the fishing in leeville really any better this time of year?

Leeville area holds fish year round. IMHO the speck fishing is better in the winter closer to leeville proper.
lafitte has freshwater diversion coming into it most of the year ,so when the diversion is running slower the water is saltier hence the trout will / may move in.

A quick fishing trip SAT. Back for 10-- 15 spckles 18 nice white and 1 bull red

Yo Pop!!!!!... We got total on 2 nice Reds, 12 Nice White Trout, 2 Nice Specks Lost One red broke off Darn!!!!, One Huge Sheephead Darn Swivel opened up lost it, Wont buy no more that type Leader w/thoses Type Swivel, It didn't Break just Open Up!!!!Had 4-5 Puppy Drum throw backs, 4-5 Rat Reds Released So even w/ Cable actin up on Outboard wasn't total Lost Day!!!!!

In the winter you can catch specks all the way up Bayou Blue to Larose.

Yep rangerz we caught some nice ones Late Winter Early Spring

Joe glad you had a good meal and some,even with a bad day. The old saiding even a bad day fishing is better then a work day. LOL -- It ony going to get better and better in G.M. fall and winter is the best.The only bad thing for me is that i love to duck hunt this time of the year, so i miss out on grate fishing all in all i do get a trip here and ther Hope you gps bb.Wen we get the time we will show you a lot more.

Headed that way this weekend to try also.I fish about three times a year and that is my question also.Where to try this time of the year?Everytime we go its different weather and winds,tide range.So it is kinda a roll the dice and see what takes place.I might try closer in this time.Bayou blue and the broken marsh.I have and freind that is going with me,He has never been saltwater fishing before so this will be fun for him.

Hey, I'm headed back down this weekend too maybe I'll see you down there again. Good luck.

i thought at one time people were getting run out of catfish lake, because it was so called privately owned???

The canals around the lake are claimed as private but not the lake itself.

no that was bay gasoline its between leeville and golden meadow, it is leased by picciola construction in cut off. you can fish the canals around catfish lake right now i know for sure a few years ago someone had leased the canals from apache and was charging $500 to fish the canals. he kept it a couple years and let it go so it went back to normal.

Hey Gaspard, is there another name for Bay Gasoline? I have looked on the maps but cannot find an area called that between Leeville and GM.Thanks.

No one owns Catfish Lake are will ever be able to lease it. It has never been leased out. I WOULD SAY THE STATE OWNS IT

bay gasoline is not named on the map but i fished it for years before picciola leased it and put rosco pico train back there.

Got it; Never fished there but heard stories of Rosco! Looks like a natural body of water to me and should be public. But it is La.!
