The Louisiana marsh never ceases to fascinate me. It's a remarkable productive fishery with salt and freshwater fish swimming side by side with each other. I lost a small bass, let go quite a few undersized fish and kept enough for a mess. These "camps" are nicer than my house. They are inaccessible by land. All construction materials get barged in. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/8kx1JwTJ/thumbnail-28.jpg) When I fish this area, my primary technique is a two rod slow troll. The lagoon is only 4-5 feet deep in most places. Pedaling at a speed that keeps the bait just off the bottom is the trick. Pedal kayaks are the way to go for fishing and photography. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/9FTcGTfx/thumbnail-26.jpg) Speckled trout and redfish are the main target. Today was a first. I caught a sheepshead trolling. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/bYZyw4ff/thumbnail-25.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/prw1Wmbr/thumbnail-27.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/XqGz6wPt/thumbnail-24.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/mgsBVDzT/thumbnail-23.jpg)

How deep is it at low tide?

How deep is it at low tide? We have minimal tidal exchange here. 2 feet of difference between high and low is extreme. It's typically around a foot of difference. We also have one high and low tide a day (diunrnal tides)

Looks like fun! Have only used my peddle kayak in freshwater but it makes a good fishing platform. Play in the salt as much as you can before moving to TN, you will miss it!

Looks like a blast Paul love the multi-species aspect. It's not unusual to come back from a marsh trip with 5 different species. Specs, reds and largemouth bass are the most common. Black drum, flounder, and white trout are regulars. The Sheepshead was a first from a kayak and my first ever on an artificial bait.
