Fishing Bayou Lacombe at Lake P

When I was a kid (50 years ago), my Dad used to take us there to fish sometimes. There was a gravel road with some pigs running around all the time.

Don't remember what we caught there though. Probably croakers. Hope this helps.

If you have a kayak you can fish the edge of the lake. Plenty of seagrass along the beaches of Big Branch.

Thanks for the responses

a few years back, when I lived on the northshore, we would wade-fish the grass flats west of the bayou in the springtime for specks. Would make for a fun morning/afternoon. Good days were 5-10 solid trout.

I've fished that area five or so times and never really caught anything.

I've caught a few trout in one of the bends in bayou lacombe before the launch. Grass flats drop to deep holes and trout sit in there. I had artificial, might try some live shrimp> there are cuts in goose point to the west of the mouth of the bayou that has some real nice, clean water cuts (skinny and shallow) that I hear people catch reds out of. My boat is too big to get in there so this is not first hand.

I don't like northshore fishing. It's a lot harder than just about everywhere else in the state but some people do very well and that just makes it even more frustrating.

As stated bass fishing in the bayou is fair and fish can be caught around the mouth of the lake.

Around the mouth of the lake I had some decent luck drifting with small tube jigs tipped with shrimp. No big fish but you can pick up a mixed catch of croakers, channel cats, specks, small reds, and other fish.
