Not looking for gps coordinates just some ideas roadways or spillway areas on this side the river (I grew up around garyville,reserve Laplace area) and live in thibodaux now so I don't know where to go. Other than randomly try ditches on the side the road until I get lucky.

Most of the folks here are west side the state folks. I'm in Raceland so I'll try to help you with what I know. With the very few areas that I know. Every so often you can catch them straight out of Bayou Lafourche, one year it was in Matthews, one year it was between Thibodaux and Napolioville, one year it in St. Charles community. People go on Prospect Extention all the time although I very seldomly see people catching and I drive it every day. You can put some in the Ditches going into the Marsh on the Brule Road (between Thibodaux and Chacahoula. You can also try in the swamp off the Kramer road. Behind LaTour they have some back roads with ditches running through the cane fields, I wnet back there before and caught a few. If you have access to the 40 Arpent Canal you can catch them in there. Thats about all i know about.

If that doesn't work out LaPlace is only 45 minutes away.
