I remember spending quite a lot of time down in Port Eads a few decades ago. Loved it. Felt like you were on the edge of the world. Close to great fishing inshore and offshore -- once caught chicken dolphin off the jetty rocks there while fishing for white trout and reds. Used to love eating in the restaurant there next to the lighthouse when I was a teen. The old pictures on the wall. Man, we lost a lot with Katrina, the longer ago it was the more you realize what you lost. Had one of the best prime ribs I've ever had in that little dining room/cafeteria.

Anyone got any pictures of Port Eades?

Went to the NOBGFC website saw these old pics that prob were on the wall LINK

Only experience of mine was post Katrina going and checking out the remnants on our way in from offshore. I remember talk of then dredging it out/rebuilding guess it fizzled out

Looks like a hell of a time could be had there

Eta: needs a titty bar, you cod ship em out there

Favorite memory down there was shooting fireworks off the dock all night long one fourth of July weekend as a kid, and then fishing all day the next day

I was talking to my brother-in-law about this place two weeks ago. I did not know it had been rebuilt. Awesome place.

Were any of yall member of the Taj down there?

Port Eades is where I grew up fishing. My dad started taking me when I was 5 so needless to say, he spoiled me for life.
