New to New Orleans

[killa k]

Hey cajuns, haven't been on the site in a while but I have a question for some of you east side boys. Me and the family moved over here to NOLA last fall and now that we are settled in would like to get on a few fish. Only thing is that I don't have a boat so we are going to be fishing from the dirt. Are their any spots around that you can hook up with some trout and reds? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

The pier, if you would call it that at Seabrook. It's more like a wall and you probably wouldn't much care for the company.

There's also a couple of locations around the Bonnet Carre/Ponchatrain to fish from wharfs.

if you dont mind driving a little there is always hwy 1 between leeville and grand isle... they were catching fish along the road in shell beach a few weeks ago too

Hopedale hwy about 30 minutes from you...also in mid summer try pevine road in Laplace on 51 heading to Hammond we wade out there sometimes and catch trout...usually you can go there and catch sheephead all day your kids may enjoy that....

Only been there twice and had enough of that place! There's enough porcelain(sp?) in that water to build a toilet for every house in the Ward!

BTW, I was in a boat and the water was as crowded as the wall! Both times!

I don't think seabrook is as good as it use to be before they dammed the MRGO.

nah, I dont think it is. I went there for the first time the year before they closed it and we slaughtered em. I've been several times since and aint caught jack

La 1 between fourchon and grand isle is probably your best spot year round
