Overview

Delacroix Island Pier provides shore-based anglers access to the productive marshes of St. Bernard Parish. Delacroix is surrounded by shallow bays, bayous, canals, and marsh habitat that make this part of southeastern Louisiana a major inshore fishing area.

Anglers can encounter redfish and speckled trout as bait moves through the surrounding tidal system, while black drum, sheepshead, and catfish provide additional opportunities.

Fishing Tips

Fish the periods when water is actively moving rather than focusing only on a particular clock time. Live shrimp is a versatile option, while soft plastics can be productive for trout and redfish.

After storms or strong winds, changing water levels and clarity can significantly affect fishing.

Bottom Line

A strong St. Bernard Parish option for anglers seeking classic Louisiana marsh fishing from shore.
