I'm new to fish in this area. Even though I've been living here for about 15 years. I'm from Houma and grew up fishing in cocodrie. Where fishing is easy. Any advice on season and tactics in the Slidell area would be much appreciated.
I'm having trouble posting this with my phone. But I'll try this edit/add on.
We finished everything from flat boat key down to door point. Water was great. Tide was moving. Bait evident in many spots. Threw live shrimp on top and on bottom. And plenty of artificial's. Nothing but hardheads and ladyfish with an occasional Spanish macral.

Probably the boat.

Sept. is usually an off month. I wouldn't get too discouraged by it. Early spring has been the best for me around that area.

I'm always amazed when I fish out this way that I can find bait fish galore, shrimp boats working in the area, clean moving water, bird action... but never a fish. Sure looks like perfect habitat for a fish.
I guess they are still out at Freemason/chandelier. I didn't have that kind of time today. Nor did i have croakers. I need a good source for croakers if anyone knows of one.

Head further south, Ring. Got to play the tides there, think it's a neap tide this weekend, or close. Look for birds around brush and door point. Find the reefs around there and you should find fish too. But like was said earlier! That's a great spring/early summer spot, just got to fight the million other boats.

Fish have already started their transition back to the marsh. IAP is more of an early summer pattern area as another poster said. Next time go through 3 mile cut and go south. More towards interior Biloxi Marsh. Might increase your odds a bit. I fished the Bob's Lakes area Labor Day Weekend and it was chock full of 10-11 inch trout. They're on the move.

3 mi pass to Elephant pt pass is my route for going offshore. I guess I should have just done that. Is Martin Is, Mitchell key, Comfort Is, and etc any good this time of year? Or is the bite further South and/or east.

Mitchell, Brush, and the rest of those eastern islands are summer spots for me. I'm not familiar with Elephant pass but 3 mile and south and west is about right. There isn't really anything East of Martin or Mitchell except Chandy
