I need a little fishing advice

[Pacmansb]

Good day fishermen!

I'm from the Houston Texas area (please don't hold that against me) The company I work for sent me to Houma for the next year or so to help out on a job.

I love to fish both fresh and salt but I just prefer fresh water fishing slightly more.
I'm looking for places to fish near Houma or even beyond.

I have truck and 5th wheel camper and am looking for places within 3 to 4 hours drive from Houma where I can camp and fish.

Since I did not bring my kayak over here with me I'm looking for a place I can rent one or even a small jon boat on the weekends that I'm not working. (untill I return to Houston and get the rest of my fishing gear kayak included.)

I see several state parks that rent boats but I have no idea where to go.
With the waters warming up for the spring I'll be wanting to fish really bad.
I read about the Bayou Black area (close to Houma) but have to call around to see about a boat or kayak rental place but I still don't know the area. I'm sure it would be amusing to see me on the news as gator bait or on the search for lost fisherman report. :*****:

I'm 43 years old and looking for some friends with simular hobbies.
I'm not here to take all the fish I can just a dinner plate now and then.
If I catch a trophy bass I'll even donate it to your state lunker program. I'm just looking to kill time in a hobby I love.
If I get to make some friends along the way even better.
I brought a couple of rods with me and some freshwater tackle.
I can buy what I need if I don't have it.
So if anyone out there wants to show some cajun hospitality and teach this Texan to fish like a local I'd be very greatful.



Thanks,
