Good forOutdoor lovers
The lighted fishing pier at Caminada Pass is where the Barataria waterway system meets the Gulf of Mexico — and where some of the best shore fishing in Louisiana happens. The pass separates Grand Isle from Grand Terre Island, and the tidal currents that rip through it concentrate redfish, speckled trout, and sheepshead in a way that makes this spot productive year-round. Night fishing under the lights, with oil platform flares visible on the horizon, is a quintessentially south Louisiana experience.
