Golden Meadow, Louisiana, offers a unique bass fishing experience within its extensive network of canals, bayous, and freshwater marshes connected to the Gulf. Unlike many clear-water bass fisheries, here you'll be targeting bass in murky, nutrient-rich waters. Spring and fall are prime times, as the bass move into shallower areas to spawn or feed before winter. Focus on areas with vegetation like lily pads and hydrilla, as well as any visible structure along the canal banks. Local tip: Don't be afraid to use brightly colored lures and noisy topwater baits to attract attention in the stained water. A good starting point is the boat launch at the end of Highway 308, providing access to a variety of canals. The bass here tend to be ambush predators, so a slow, deliberate presentation often works best.
