I use to go the Lake Verret a few times in Apr. or May to hit the bream when they spawned. You could load the boat with them.

Also this area [IMO] was the snake capital of Louisiana back in the '70's & '80's. While fishing, I could look around and see 5 to 10 snakes swimming around. Most were Diamond back water snakes. Sometimes I would have to scare them away to keep them from comming in the boat when they got back by the engine.

The aligator population now keeps the snake numbers in check.
