Go down hwy61 past sorrento toward the interstate, take hwy3140 to a place on Google maps called new River... Looks like a lock system? Is that area posted or is it available to be fished?? Second question, has anyone fished there had any luck... Looking for another place to bring the kids...

It's available to be fished. I used to put in on Stringer Bridge road, it's a public launch. You can do pretty decent when they have water moving through the cuts on new river. Goes all the way to blind river, didn't fish there much though because of the distance.

ETA: I believe you can launch at PJs landing and it would be closer to the locks.

Good luck. The OT is very tight lipped on this subject. #therewasamap

Hell I got to reading and forgot you said bank fish. I'd stay out of there.

Is it private property? Business property? What's the reason? Or is this one of those places that used to be on the "map"? Looks fairly easy to get back there?

I'm pretty sure its private property except where the pumping station is and that's off limits.

ETA: That's the road with the sign that reads: No Hunting, No Fishing, No Trespassing, Don't Ask.

I just looked on the map. Pretty sure that's all private property and an EMPL station.

Are you looking for something close to Gonzales? You could bank fishing St. James Boat Club on Airline, the ponds at Lamar Dixon, or Peavine Launch area off HWY 51 will get you some saltwater if it hasn't rained much.
