myrtle Grove Fishing

[spiderman1]

Can anyone tell me how the bank fishing in Myrtle Grove has been planning on going this weekend?

I use to fish the bank by myrtle grove marina when I was a kid and would mash redfish but I think they shut that place down to bank fishing. Not positive tho.

Saw a post last week during the cold about folks fishing there, Think it's $10 a head.
I do know the colder the better just like shell beach.
You could call myrtle grove marina ?

Yeah if you can still fish there go when it's cold cold. The reds stack up in that dead end. I have some good memories of that place from over 20 years ago.

Honestly I thought they closed down the bank fishing years ago. It used to be awesome for trout as well.

They sold a lot of the land down at the dead end and across from the marina, All private camps now. But there is still the wall by the marina where you can pay to fish.

I think it was always pay to fish back in the day but the day after a hard front it was worth every penny.

I think it was back in 2000 my buddy had a canoe he used to fish behind the levee in Port Sulphur. We took it to Myrtle Grove the day after the first real cold snap - among a dozen boats of all description - and pretty much caught trout until we just didn't want to catch anymore. He was using a fly rod with sinking line and I was using a jig. He was really talented with the fly rod and caught on to the program pretty quick after I got up on him about 7 to zero. Good times!

People were lined up on both sides of the bank, mostly catching but not near as much as those in boats. Of course some on the banks were catching more than some in boats. It's the same in the deep trout spots in the marsh. Some people have a knack for feeling the bite and some just don't.

I am from Montana and have been a fly fisherman most of my life...I think it would be fun to catch redfish and specks on the flyrod.

It is. I don't do it much, but if you've got a pile of specks close to the boat, you can make quick work of a limit with a clouser minnow. And presenting a fly to a cruising redfish is very cool as well.
