I would not fish out of Beshel’s, not unless I was launching from there to ride down to the river and begin fishing around Empire and further down. It’s a good way to avoid Belle Chasse/LNG traffic.
I don’t think Lafitte is gonna be any better until it cools off.
“I wonder if the Biloxi Marsh is overfished.”
Absolutely it is. But more so because those fish were depleted and are just getting around to restocking themselves. Otherwise, it’s been either a ghost town or Throwback City for awhile.
“should I look elsewhere or just be patient?”
Both. Begin learning Venice. Just get down there, establish your safe routes, get comfy with the river. There’s going to be more fish there than anywhere else.
If you had to stay close to home, I’d fish Seabrook, the rigs outside of Kenner, the artificial reefs in the lake and ride looking for diving birds. There’s a lotta shrimp in the lake, and once the trout find them it will be lights out.
