I keep hearing about Tank Battery area in Lake des Allemands. Wondering if anyone would be able to help me find this area.

I've fished des Allemands a lot but typically stay in the popular areas (Stump, Humble in Bayou, Providence, etc).

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

The only tank batteries I know of aren't in Lac Des Allemands but off of Bayou Des Allemands past Black Prince Island heading to Salvador. Have caught bass and redfish on the one just off the main bayou. Check google earth.

The only tank battery I know is on the way between Lake Des Allemands and Lake Boeuf. I grew up fishing all of this area so I'm fairly familiar.

Look into Bayou Baton Pilon. Several "tank batteries" back there.

Growing up my dad always referred to the tank battery as the Bayou Chevreuil area. It's located in the southwest side of the lake.

That makes sense, on the Lafourche/St. James side in the bayous off of the lake. I haven't gone in those areas much at all but I know there aren't any others on the St. Charles side....unless someone considers Humble Canal to be a "tank battery".
