re: Anyone ever fish the Bay St. Louis area?

I don’t fish anymore, but I used to heavily fish Bay St. Louis for reds. I did very well trolling the shoreline of the Bay tossing a gold spoon. Didn’t fish for trout there, just reds. When I first got my little flat boat I fished every inch of the shoreline of the Bay and narrowed it down to a few hot spots. Didn’t do well in the winter when the water was always low, but did very well the rest of the year.

My best spots were the shorelines around Little Bay, Grassy Point, and the little cove area around the mouth of Cutoff Bayou. Some of the little ditches that drain out of the marsh in Little Bay were very productive. And in years of fishing there, not once did I see another boat trolling the shorelines for reds. Before I had a boat I even caught reds off a Sea Doo fishing those shorelines with a gold spoon. My parents lived on Jourdan River, and their neighbors were always amazed when I came back with reds every trip.
