Fishing Port Fourchon
Cocodrie, Port Fourchon, Grand Isle and Venice: endless marsh, barrier islands and the mouth of the Mississippi.
What's biting now (Fall): One of the best seasons: speckled trout move into the marsh and lakes, and redfish school up along shorelines.
Commonly caught in this area: Redfish, speckled trout, black drum, sheepshead and tarpon.
Also caught here: croaker, Spanish mackerel, jack crevalle, tripletail, hardhead catfish.
Inlets funnel bait in and out with every tide, and predators wait at the edges. Fish the last part of the incoming and first part of the outgoing tide, and watch the current - inlets can be dangerous for small boats.

How the bite outlook works
The rating is our estimate, not a guarantee. It combines tide range, wind, rain and storms, temperature swings, the moon phase and how well the solunar periods line up with dawn and dusk. Fish do not read forecasts - local knowledge always wins. Read more
