Overview

Port Sulphur Civic Drive Fishing Pier provides convenient bank-to-pier fishing access in Port Sulphur in Plaquemines Parish, an area surrounded by productive Louisiana marsh and estuarine habitat.

The mix of brackish water, tidal movement, and nearby marsh makes the area suitable for classic southeastern Louisiana species such as redfish, speckled trout, black drum, and sheepshead. Fishing around a moving tide can be particularly productive as bait moves through nearby channels.

Fishing Tips

Shrimp, cut bait, and live bait are useful choices for anglers fishing near the bottom. Artificial paddletails and other inshore lures can also be effective when redfish or speckled trout are actively feeding.

Conditions can change quickly in coastal Louisiana, so anglers should pay attention to tides, wind, weather, and water levels.

Bottom Line

A convenient Port Sulphur fishing pier for anglers looking to target popular Louisiana inshore species without needing a boat.
