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

There are fish to be caught in the actual bay but it's not going to be like Grand Isle where you can frick around and catch a limit of trout in less than an hour if you get on a hot bite.

Yes and no. You cant just cast away randomly like some places in Louisiana and fill an ice chest in an hour. But, if you know the Bay, you certainly can. I know most people will never spend enough time there to do that. There are oyster reefs and grass that you cant see or find on a map.

I fish it multiple times a week and had help learning it from my neighbor, who is retired and fishes all the time. He doesnt even keep fish any more but he catches a Louisiana limit almost every time he goes out. It is not world-class, but still a very solid estuary.

Right now trout are working their way to a full transition. You can find them at the bridges, but there is plenty of action drifting the flats near deep water.
