Little Lagoon

Anglers looking at St. Tammany Parish will find Little Lagoon, a lake, and that gives me a reason to fish one reachable area before widening the search. I would give one promising section of bank a fair chance before making a bigger move, because one productive area is more useful than several random moves.

Little Lagoon Size, Maximum Depth and Volume

Little Lagoon does not have a dependable set of published acreage, depth, and volume measurements, so I would let the actual shoreline set the scope of the trip, so I would use what I can see instead of guessing at a measurement. I would start by judging the first section before choosing a pattern, because that is more useful than pretending a nearby lake has the same dimensions.

Fishing This Water

Public fish information for Little Lagoon is limited enough that a species list should not be guessed, so I would let the first catches narrow the plan, which makes it smarter to use a versatile setup instead of guessing at a target species. I would carry a compact mix of a jig, a spinner, and a bait rig, because one good bite is enough to start turning unknown water into familiar water.

A Practical Little Lagoon Game Plan

If I were seeing Little Lagoon for the first time, I would work one nearby part of the water with only a few dependable baits; if a bait begins producing, I would stay with it long enough to understand what is different about that spot.
