I absolutely cannot speak highly enough of Salty Dog Charters! Honestly, our day trip out with…read moreCaptain Markham Dickson is one of the best things I've ever done in New Orleans. (And you guys have been to New Orleans, right? So, like, you know how great everything is there, right?) Even if you're not necessarily looking to fish, which we weren't, they're happy to take you out for a day on the water that will be amazing! Though our trip was about something else (we were spreading ashes at sea), Captain Markham made sure we got to do some really fun stuff. We fed pelicans, saw some awesome wildlife (including some large fish, crabs, otters, and more), and did a bit of net fishing. We also saw some really cool spots, like small islands and a fishing cabin. If you're looking to fish, or just looking for a unique fun day out, you have to check out Salty Dog Charters! Trust me, it's awesome!

Capt. Gabe was excellent. Hot is on the fish. Caught our limit. Excellent trip. Highly recommend!read more

This is an excellent little spot in the park to fish. Coming from mid city down Carrollton/Wisner…read moreand turning left onto Harrison into city park, this fishery is easily accessible and offers parking right on the side of the road basically anywhere you see fit. I always park on the left side of Harrison right after the fist bridge and walk along the canal back towards midcity. As an avid fly fisher, I've fished a lot of spots along this canal with many different flies. Right off the road I've pulled in nice bluegill on small top water flies. About 50 yards down from the road is a footbridge that crosses the canal. The bluegill and rio grande cichlids are abundant right here, and I've also caught a few nice bass (and have seen even bigger bass) from this footbridge. About 75 yards down from this bridge is another footbridge. Walking down the left side of the canal (the wisner side) there are some very nice spots to cast under an old oak tree that stretches out over the canal. Bluegill and bass abound here. From atop the second footbridge here you have access to one of the most abundant rio grande holes in the park. I've seen many rios in this location every single time I've been here. Use an olive or brown wooly bugger (non bead head) to hook into a fish you won't forget catching! Farther down from this area the spots are few and far between. Most of the bank in this area is overgrown and extremely hard to cast from. If you're lucky enough to have a kayak, you can paddle down past the second footbridge and reach some really productive waters. It's not uncommon to catch 5lb+ largemouth bass if you can get to an area you can fish. Almost all the rios in this area break 1lb, as well. This canal is also home to spotter gar, blue catfish, black crappie (sac-a-lait), red ear sunfish, and red spotted sunfish. No extra size or bag limits other than the statewide size and bag limits apply. Keep in mind that Rio Grande Cichlids are an invasive species and it is encouraged you keep any that you catch. They are extremely tasty, though, so this isn't really a bad thing. Keep in mind that I wrote this review from a strictly fly fishing based point of view. It's really the only experience I have fishing this part of city park. All these waters are much more accessible if fished with bait and tackle rods. I've personally caught and identified all species I've mentioned in this review in the 200 yard or so stretch of canal reaching towards midcity from Harrison. I hope you all catch a lunker!

I've been here before on a guided hike and got learn about the unwanted plants and trees that ended up growing there. I was grateful to see that during the COVID-19 pandemic, it was still open to public. Unfortunately, people did not physically distance like I would have wanted them to, but oh well. If you want to get in touch with nature a bit, come check this place out, especially before it gets too hot outside. When we arrived on Sunday, there were a lot of people, but parking was still plentiful. It's closer to Central and north Baton Rouge area. It's also across the street from the famed church Life Tabernacle Church. I can only see myself going back there during the fall and spring months... summertime there will not be happen.

There are walking paths great for jogging and taking a stroll through the woods. My favorite part was the man made beach in the back at the comite river. The water only got as deep as my knee. It was nice to just play around in the water and play on the tire swing someone put up. We also liked to sun bathe on the sand bank. Some people made fires there at night. It was a nice and peaceful way to relax. It's a good spot to bring your dogs as well! Be careful though because we have stumbled upon snakes a few times on the trail path to the beach!

He was very professional and you could tell he wanted to make sure that we were taken care of. He set us up with our guide for the day and then we were off. The two of us had an amazing day fishing catching well over 60 black drums and reds(all catch and release). Great day all around and would highly recommend Captain Mike. Especially if you're staying in New Orleans. Also Mike seemed to be more reasonably priced compared to others I looked at.

Inside we found lizards and large cock roaches (2-3 inch bugs) just a few but still unsettling. Deck area has multiple hornet nests as well.They do have nice kayaks, however they were full of spiders. The location is extremely hard to get delivery from anywhere and Uber's are not thrilled to come out after 5:00 as the Ferry shuts down and the driven path is through some sketchy areas. The actual bedrooms living space is beautiful but they need to do something about the bugs and the service/amenities. It's quite expensive for not having much other than the quite location. Hard to get groceries at all in the area. We were there for a wedding venue down the road... they really need to get some local establishments to deliver!
