Fishing from a kayak is just a different game. It’s a tool that should be used accordingly. An advantage of a kayak over a boat is the launchability: you can kick it out off the side of the road in places boats cannot. Using a hammer like a screwdriver isn’t best use of a hammer.
Now, with that said, right now is one of the toughest times of the year to catch fish. So don’t get discouraged if your fishing trips are a grind. That’s kind of to be expected, bay boat or not.
If I were you, I would look hard at fishing the Rock Dam in Hopedale, or the canals/ponds across the bayou from Hopedale Marina. That would be a great start.
It seems like every year during spring some kayaker lands a giant trout at the Rock Dam.
Yellow Cotton Bay off of LA-23 could be good, too.
Then I would look hard at going to Grand Isle and Elmer’s during spring.
You absolutely can catch fish and do well. Leverage this group and 101 to that end.
Thank you for posting an intro!
