Looking to fish

[bcsportsman]

I live an hour north from Lafayette and an hour from Baton Rouge and I'm looking for a place to fish. I've really only surf fished once a summer for the last ten years and I'm really looking to get into speck and red fishing. I'm looking for a good place to take my 18 foot bass boat. Cypremort Point is the closest to me I think but they say the fishing isn't that good. Where can I go on day trips and be able to catch a few fish.
