Fishing near the Houma area....without a boat.

[cberge8]

Looking for some place near the Houma area to get some fish without having to get a boat. I would really like to get back into fishing, but don't have the place to store or the time to maintain a boat.

Just looking for some place to get some catfish, perch, brim or similar.

The only place I have seen locally is near the intersection of hwy 182 and hwy 90. No idea what people catch there, but there are always people fishing there.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I don't mind driving a little if I have to.

Get yourself a kayak and you can go after redfish, speckled trout, drum, etc... Doesn't take up much space. This one is 12' long x about 30" wide. No maintenance. They are also quite good for getting around in freshwater and going after bream, sacalait, bass, etc...

Wait a few days for the water to get down there and you can go fishing pretty much anywhere I reckon

I was gonna say soon the water will be coming to you instead of you going to it.

At 182 and 90, they catch Sac-a-lait in the winter. Should be bream there now. Also some bass.
I've seen people fishing along 20 on the way to Morgan City. Or go south for saltwater.

I filled in occasionall at an office on W. Park. The bayou out back had lots of small fish (snakes too, but that's another story). I tried fishing it once for maybe an hour and caught a few perch.

Thanks everyone. I am really trying to get some catfish in my freezer if at all possible. Are there any public fishing areas near Des Allemands that anyone knows of?

Just in case anyone else is looking for a decent spot, I found one.

Hwy 306 just outside of Des Allemands along side Bayou Gauche. Just past a small bridge there is what looks like an old single ramp boat launch. Within 3 hours I was able to catch about 15 catfish, all very nice sized (11-14 inch) and about 2 dozen perch, all somewhat on the small side but still worth fooling with.
