And 300 boats. Pass up the MRGO and go a few miles further up the channel leaving Breton sound and try out Stump Lagoon. Get a map at the marina!

Back side of the MRGO Dam is the place to be kills no boats and reds stacked...but it's hard to get to by boat....so pretty much head down la loutra like southern said and get lost in the marsh with some spinner baits...reds are everywheres out there..

Launch your boat and head east from the marina and wen u get into the ship channel about 500 yards from the marina look to your right and you can't miss it...

I messed mine up in crooked bayou on the way to lake eugene which is a good place to fish if you don't mind going further than the stumps!
