Within St. Bernard Parish, Redfish Bayou is identified as a lake, which makes it sensible to give one section a fair chance before moving. A first look would begin around one manageable short stretch, because it gives the first plan a fair chance before you change directions.
Redfish Bayou Size, Maximum Depth and Volume
Reliable acreage, maximum depth, and storage numbers are not readily available for Redfish Bayou, which is why I would use what I can see instead of guessing at a measurement, which makes it smarter to let the actual shoreline set the scope of the trip. The first trip should emphasize judging the first section before assuming too much, and if a reliable measurement turns up later, it can be used then.
Fishing This Water
Exact species information is sparse for Redfish Bayou, and I would rather avoid copying a species list from a nearby lake. I would keep the first outing flexible with a basic first-trip selection of live bait plus one or two simple lures, since the first bites can tell you more than a guessed species list.
A Practical Redfish Bayou Game Plan
A practical first day on Redfish Bayou starts with one nearby area near the launch and one clear target; a slow start is a reason to make one thoughtful change rather than rebuild the entire tackle plan.
