Recreational Fishing in the Coastal areas and Lakes of Louisiana

Ready for fishing

May be, I just once went fishing in the last 15 years, but never using boats to get fish. I just sit on the bridge waiting for fish bites my baits.

Some neighbors and friends have a boat for recreational fishing.

A boat at above belong to my neighbor, they are ready for fishing at one of coastal areas of Louisiana.

They might go a bit far to find best coastal fishing places, few are:

- New Orleans, Louisiana

- Mississippi coastal places

- Florida beach areas

Louisiana has several lakes as well that good for recreational fishing, namely:

- Lake Pontchartrain Basin

- Calcasieu Lake

- Lake D’Arbonne

- Toledo Bend Reservoir

- Red River

Fishing recreation boats in lake Pontchartrain basin.

When I travel from Baton Rouge to New Orleans, I pass through the bridge over Lake Pontchartrain Basin.

I saw many fishing boats both belong to real fishermen and fake fishermen.

Fake fishermen refer to recreational and game fishing, include some neighbors and friends.
