Bank fishing around Monroe?

Any good areas/lakes to fish from the bank in or around Monroe with favorable results? Doesn't matter whether it is white perch, bream, catfish etc.

darbonne spillway a lot of people fish off the bank.i know some that will leave there boats at home and do better fishing off the bank then the ones out there in boats.

I am going to have to make the trip over there one day soon.

The pond at Lincoln parish park in Ruston has pretty good fishing plus a paved walking trail all the way around it.

Try Bayou Desiard at the Sandal Dam flow-thru out in Lakeshore.

I am not familiar with Sandal Dam, is that the road near Cypress Point Elementary School? If so, I went there the other day and caught about 5 bream, but they were small.
