Welcome to the forum, and thanks for introducing yourself.
All those areas are good to fish and have their strengths and weaknesses, but what they all have in common as that they’re plagued by that evil horde, The Greater NOLA Flotilla.
There is one place that’s not, and the place is to that horde like what a kitchen light is to cockroaches: it scatters them.
This place is the Super Bowl of testing what you learn in IF101. If you can get away with navigating there, then you’ve done good. If you really apply yourself and the fishing gods smile on your boat, you will come away with the most epic fishing you’ve ever done in your life. It makes those other places look dumb.
This place is called “Venice”.
It is the home of The Spear Tip whose human name is @Boyce and the playground of @DrillNFill and many other Elite members who have tested their mettle there.
It is the bane of spoon-feeders and the great rewarder of self-appliers. We will peer pressure you into fishing down there, especially when the river starts dropping and falls below 5 feet at the Carrollton Gauge. You’ll know when you see our reports, or view the past ones posted last year like this one.
Or this one posted earlier this month.
You have been warned.
