"The End of the World" — the legendary marsh fishery southeast of New Orleans, where a web of bayous, ponds, and oyster bays grows giant redfish and speckled trout. Among the most productive sight-fishing flats in Louisiana, fished hard from skiffs and kayaks; the fall redfish run is a bucket-list event.
LA: redfish 18–27" slot, 4 a day, none over 27". Shallow marsh — a poled or trolling-motor skiff shines.
