First off, welcome to the forum, glad you decided to join up with us. It's good to have another local join in and share stories and information. I live in Houma and fish all the places you asked about. Another place very close to you is the Lake Long/Hollywood Canal area. It's good for some quick trips and sometimes they pay off handsomely. We're in a tough time of year for catching as compared to what's coming up soon. As winter progress you will run into low water and muddy water in many places, so as Bayou Boy suggested you need to run around and find some clearing water. You will find this mostly in dead end canal. Today at 4:23 PM winter will begin. today is the shortest day of the year. As the days grow longer the fishing will get better. The spawn is right around the corner and that's when it's fairly easy to catch some nice fish. Until then the sacalait will be feeding heavily preparing to spawn. I mostly fish out of Cannon's Landing as it's close, I'm able to cover a lot of area and even salt water fish from there if I want. Since we live so close to one another, if you want we can get together and discuss this a lot better. I live in East Houma and I am retired so I can usually meet anytime I'm not fishing.
Good luck,
