Price Lake Road is closed but go to Josephs Harbor just east of there a few miles. The main canal heads south and goes straight to the Gulf. The first? big canal to your left a mile or 2 down the stretch will lead you to the concrete wier (its right there 100 yds from the intersection), if you keep going down that canal you will pass a big oil 'rig' thing? and right past that to your left is the MudHole wier.
The LSU wier is just before you get to the Gulf in that canal to the right heading south.
We went 2 weekends ago with the kid in a 15' boat and were fine and have done it several times. Right there at the mouth of the Gulf there is a nice shell 'beach' to the right that is always fun to walk around and look for stuff with the kids, lotsa driftwood, shells, hermit crabs, etc.
Most people there are very nice and will let you know if the fish/shrimp are running and what wier they are running at. I enjoy the hell outta Rockefeller, you meet people from all walks of life and most are out there having a good time
