We use to fish the pits closer to the north levee. We would go to the north levee and turn to the east and then go down from the levee to the road that headed back toward the spillway locks. We then took the first or second [don't remember which] road to the east. There are pits on both sides of this road.

As kids. we would fish from the bank. You had to watch carfully....there were lots big snakes up in the grass alone the bank. They would kind of look like a rabbits moving through the grass as they went into the water. If you used worms and a cork, a snake would come check it out.

I think I know the pit you are talking about this one was pretty close to Hwy 1. It was right off the road to the north of the levee. It was a long time ago so I don't remember exactly. I know there was a ton of alligators back there as well. We used to gig garfish back there when I was a kid as well. Gerald are you from that area?
