Looks like your doing good. You need to chat with the bank fishing king John Rucker. He's got bank fishing down pat, as well as fishing from a boat. I think he is going to try fishing from a helicopter next!!
All kidding aside, John is a good fella and he will chat with ya if ya ask.
And I think I would go with a sit on top kayak versus a peerow for fishing.

Nice Box looks like another Bank Rucker lol j/k....

Thanks! Ill def try and contact Mr. John Rucker just to get some pointers on what to look out for before and while im in the water. These were all caught using a drop shot with some shrimp from Winn Dixie. Never tried to use artificial bait but a buddy gave me some green hornet so ill br trying that out. As far as the kayak or pirogue ill def look for a sit on top kayak now.

artificial bait isnt something thats easy to do from bank because you dont move around much, you have a limited strike zone, and limited casting distance.

using a cork helps you keep the bait in strike zone longer and can increase casting distance but overall when i bank fish i think of MEAT fishing, using live or dead bait and letting the fish come to me rather then me finding the fish.

fishing along hwy 1 from golden meadow to grand isle is always fun because its an unlimited area of endless canal bank right next to the road, just be carefull of road traffic as there is little to no shoulder on most of the roadway so your within a few feet of the cars.

Taxi...right,but get a bright color one,there's 'advanced idiots' that will run you over !!! cheers

Seen bright colors in Delacroix paddling in Bayou Gentilly. I was the only one to slow to idle speed for them except the fella behind me whom I do believe I ticked off. He could see the marina and could taste the land but I dropped a bomb on him and he had to slow down. lmbo

LA 1 is your hotspot. Me, I don't own a cork.

Sorry for the bad pictures I was alone so it was all I could manage.

Couldnt even pick it up.

Wow I really appreciate all the input ill def try out the cork technique and im gonna have to try to go to la 1 ive been hearing about it for a while. Went out tonight after wind died down and bit was non existant until this...

All I fish with (really, all the time), is a lead jig head (pick any color) and a soft plastic jig-tail. Sometimes a peice of shrimp on it, but usually not. Cast it out and experiment with the retreive. Examples: Let is sit on the bottom. Bounce it on the bottom. Reel it in slow. Reel it in fast. Reel it medium. Try these styles all while casting it in different directions from where you are standing, whether it's in a boat or the bank. You also will have much more of a chance of catching whatever type of fish is there. Reds and drum usually hit it on the bottom. Specks might hit on the faster retrieve. That is not the rule, but it generally is the norm. Chunking a cork out and waiting for a bite will work, but it is not the best way to fish. I bet if you throw that cork and wait a long time something will bite, but that's not the best way to catch a lot of fish. If I'm fishing light without a lot of tackle, I have 2 packs of jig-tails, and 1 pack of jig heads. 1 in a light or clear color, and 1 in a dark green or black color. I haven't found a lot of difference in the color of the jig head. Also, this time of year when it's kind of slow, I find that the medium size sheephead amd drum hit better if you take the soft plastic off and just have a shrimp on the jighead and work it slow on the bottom. I think they have a hard time due to the shape of their mouth with the soft plastic on the jig head. My favorite light colored bait right now is a Berkley Gulp in the Glow color with the red tip. They got em at Puglia's.

Set the pole with the cork and market bait out and let ot fish while you use the second pole to fish artificial. Just be sure to secure the pole so that if a fish hits it, you don't lose it. More lines in the water means more chances of catching something. Also, most places where you can launch a boat from, you can bank fish from.

There a Great area By Dockside Club over by Dockside Bait&Tackle

I have not seen a box of trout caught at the point in a long time. Good job brah.

Hey Victor. Try bckfc.org! We have a great group of kayak fishermen with lots of info on where to go and what kind of kayak's we use. First step to buying a kayak is DEMO! Backpacker and Massey's do demo days through out the year. Or meet up with some of our guy's and see whats out there. If you check out the site, look me up. My screen name is Shark Bait. Good luck!
