Planning a trip to Holly Beach area.
 
I am hoping I get a chance to get down to the Holly Beach area next weekend to do a bit of fishing. Usually go to Contraband Days every year, but it has steadily gotten worse every year, so I am gonna skip it this year and use that money to go fishing.

Its been at least 15 years since I have been down there, so I am not familiar with the area at all. I plan to make a weekend of it so I will need a place to stay. I dont have a camper or RV so I am looking for a cabin, room, bungalow, RV, something like that. Anyone know of any good reasonably priced places. I dont see me paying over 100 bucks a night, but I will if I have to. Ive grabbed a few places off the internet and will do some calling around, just wanted to see what the fine folks here had to say about any of em.

Also, how about bait/tackle shops? There isnt really anywhere up here to buy the stuff I need. And besides that, I like shopping. LOL. I have some stuff, but would like to look around down there.

Finally.. Any tips to a few good fishing spots in that area? Im not asking for anyones honey holes, just some good spots. I would hate to come back empty handed. I dont have a boat so I will be fishing from the bank.

Thanks folks. Any help will be appreciated.

Acadamy, Lake Charles Tackle, The Tackle Box- Sulphur for baits and such, dont know if there is anything down further south for bait with much selection

Cajun fast mart on hwy 27 south of sulphur also has some tackle in case you forget something at the other stores

Seth, help this guy out. Tell him where to stay and where he can catch a few fish. Make yourself useful. :rolleyes:

Alright. U wanna stay at the A+ Motel and RV park in Sulphur. It is just south of Sulphur on hwy 27 and a room will run you about $75-90/night. You will be about 40 minutes from where u wanna fish. All the tackle you need is right across the street at the Cajun Fast mart. It is a Conoco station with a lil tackle store about 200 yards southeast of A+ Motel. U could also stay in Cameron at the Cameron Motel which is around $100/night. Prob closest place to the beach but you gotta fool with crossing the ferry across the ship channel to get to holly beach, so make sure you get up early enough to fool with that. And Cameron is like a ghost town since the hurricane. Nothing to do and nothing to eat besides pizza from the Shell station.

U wanna wait till these winds lay down for sure, better yet a few days of a north wind. Topwaters: blue chrome skitterwalks, bone spooks, white/red, white/chart
Plastics: 1/4 oz jig head with opening night or chartreuse/glitter cocahoes. If the water looks stained, throw a white gulp shrimp on jighead.

All the rock breakers begin on hwy 82 when u go west off 27. Fish hold on almost all of them. You can keep headin west toward Texas and you will pass Little Florida, Constance Beach, or Mae's Beach.(all labeled with green signs) You can actually drive on Mae's Beach but make sure you have a 4x4. I find that the beaches with the rock breakers hold more fish, Mae's beach doesn't have breakers. Just work your way west from Holly Beach to Jonhson Bayou. When the trout are on the beaches they can be caught just about anywhere around there. Good luck.

Also if that doesn't work, you can try the weirs south of Hackberry off 27 (Blue Crab, West Cove, Northline) Can catch some crabs and flounder/reds on gulp.

With decent conditions, anybody that can't catch fish with that advice.....needs to go bowlin'.

quit giving away all my secrets ....j/j thats a great bait along with anything opening night colored and any gulp bait. if the water is really dirty try tight lining a gulp and work it slow along corners of rock breakers should produce atleast a few reds. Good luck post if u catch
