Fishing Mississippi River in Ascension

Don't know about Ascension Parish but I do fish the river between Orleans and St. Bernard Parish a lot. There are industrial areas that are off limits and most have fences across the levee, with some running all the way out to the river.

There are lots of spots between these commercial places that are open to fishing in my part of the world and I'm sure yours too. The only thing most Parishes frown upon is driving on, or over the levee, so I park on the roadway side and walk across.

Used to fish "the point" in between Donaldsonville and the sunshine bridge. A few podnahs still do. I haven't been back there in forever but many many nights were spent back there getting massacréd and catching big catfish. A farmer owns it and we never got ran off, but don't mess with his cattle or tear shite up.
