Cypremort State Park fishing recs?

It’s usually pretty fresh and muddy in April You can catch reds in the marsh closeby but for trout you will probably need to go way south (gulf)

Marsh island is a good bet for reds and crabs if you have a big enough boat

Unless the Basin/atch River is low, the fishing isn’t great. Gets muddy quick.

Run up to Jefferson island rookery while there. Roseate spoonbills and a ton of other wading birds should still be nesting

If your going offshore for bigger fish ur good mostly anytime u get good conditions however if ur looking to red fish, anytime is usually OK just pick good days but if your looking to trout fish, certain things gotta be in place before u gonna get a successful trip.

1st off the river has to drop under 10ft(jmo) for more salty water to start backing up into verm. bay and northern gulf...
2nd off you need a west wind to push cleaner(visability) water into area...
3rd off you wanna fish for trout in west or northerly slight 0-5mph winds if u wanna fish the reefs with success
4th by fall when it cools down, the trout head north towards the cove near the beach and rentals. Its a dam boat fest of a gazillion boats going nuts to find trout. If u go on a weekday u may get lucky and have lesser boats and u can catch a mess full.


Hopefully for end of May the achaf river is low enough for fishing to get hot like last year. Before last year it was end of July practically before some assemblance of salt was mixed into water in the last few years before.

Also around late April cocodrie gets hot thru out summer time for last island/pelto area. Every year I fish this area until the point gets hot.....its a drive somewhat but worth it if u know where to fish
