Fishdoctor,

Do you think my buddy and I could do some damage to the goggle-eye this weekend in Pigeon? I normally fish Henderson, but that area is somewhat poor lately. I would love to catch an ice chest full of big goggle-eye before duck season. Thanks in advance.

Took an afternoon trip on Monday then a morning trip on Tuesday. Caught tagged red fish both days. Water was murky and the bite was far and few but managed to get four reds and one drum. Most caught on the matrix shad and some on dead shrimp.

I heard someone say that they were fishing with someone and they would pull up to a spot, drop a wire in the water and if the salinity wasn't right they would roll to another spot. I guess they were testing the water till they found the perfect 'salinity' for trout and then Fish in that spot. Can…

Good bank fishing spots?

Angler Management

January 03, 2014 at 3:38am

I usually have always stuck to beaches and piers around the coast but have recently been moving more towards inshore bank fishing. Due to the lack of a boat I'm very limited where I can fish so the open beaches are always nice.

I've gotten petty good at catching from beaches and…

@Angler Management I am in a similar situation. As far as where to go... Robinson Canal(below Houma) is a good place to find drum. It is not an open beach, but shrimp/dead mullet on the bottom will net you a few drum. Try the Matrix Shad tipped with a little dead shrimp at PAC under a cork.

Do you know the Basin very well? The fishing there is outstanding and is not very far away. False River is probably the closest place to go from BR. I just graduated from LSU in May and fish as much as I can. Let me know if I can help anymore.

They call it "Dubason" not sure how to spell it, but it is a public area. There is a boat ramp to the right once you exit the interstate. I haven't been there in years but i'm sure its still the same.
