To add some other spots:

Rigolets bridge on Hwy 90
Chef Pass bridge on Hwy 90

It has been over 10 years since I have even been over in this area however you used to be able to park and walk out to fish in this area. From what I remember you could park near Fort Pike and walk out. If you can find a place to access the Rigolets/Chef the bank fishing is not bad. Use live mullet/cocahoes/shrimp/crab or dead shrimp. Trout are hit and miss from shore (more miss than hit) but you always have a shot at a nice red or big drum especially if you have some cracked crabs.

Hwy 11 'Southshore'

You can exit on Frontage Rd and fish the lake here or you can head down Frontage to the bridge over Irish Bayou Lagoon. If you like to wade fish you can walk the shoreline near Hwy 11 for a good ways here. Otherwise your best bet is to sit on the cement piles and fish under Hwy 11. Great place to wade for specks/reds with a top dog or popping cork when the temp is right.

Hwy 11 Irish Bayou bridges - there are two bridges in Irish Bayou. Decent chance for specks at the bridge closer to the levee. Current runs fairly hard under the bridge when the tide is flowing. This time of year you can also catch blue cats here.

You can also fish near Hwy 11 / I10 on the Slidell side at the ends of either Lakeview Dr (Rat Nest Rd) or Harbor Dr. The Harbor Dr Seawall can hold specks at certain times of the year, and I have caught specks fishing near the bar 'The Dock' during the cooler months. Best fishing to me is actually between the bar and boat launch in the canal.
