No place like it. No telling what you will catch when you get way down the river toward the jetties. It's a trip riding over the wakes of the ships and crew boats you will pass going down the main Mississippi River channel. This time of year, though, the river is high and fast and carrying lots of debris. In the 90's I ran over a floating telephone pole coming back up the river late in the day and cracked the transom on my 18' boat. We were lucky to make it back, and could have been swept back downstream or sunk if we had lost power.

I'm originally from New Orleans and had never heard the word black bass till I moved here 48 years ago. I grew up catching GREEN TROUT.

We had neutral grounds too, not medians. And banquettes, not gutters.
