Really, the possibilities are endless.

As far as where to launch, there's the public launch in Butte Larose. Then in Henderson there's Kerns, Mcgee's, Atchafalaya Basin Landing. Just to name a few.

Best places to fish? That you'll have to figure out yourself. Plenty of good fishing in there.

Safe to run? That I don't know. I'm always there in a

ETA: I've been fishing North of I-10 in Pelba and the eastern side of Bigeaux a lot lately. That barely scratches the surface.

I was out there yesterday afternoon in a . I stayed around Kern's landing because it was my first trip and I got a late start. The wind picked up but the fish were really biting. I only brought a 8' SOP and had no way to anchor in 10' ft+ of water. Between fighting my position, cork and line placement, and dragging through weeds... I had 12 fish take a worm in 2 hours but I could not get any in the boat. I decided to move about 2 miles and finish the day out of the wind and when I did, the bite was gone. Right at dusk, bass started jumping out of the water but nothing hit spinner or beetle spin.

A guy at the ramp told me to bring worms, crickets, and jigs. If there are no bites in the first hour, pack up and go home. Its either on fire or nothing at all.

Are there any yak friendly launches closer to the big water than Kern's?
