Hot water canal off US 90. You can fish for everything from bream to speckled trout and see downtown NO from your boat. Grand Isle is nice. Put in around Leeville this time of year. If the water and wind is calm try Bayou Lafourche for big bull reds. Put in at Bridge Side Marina. The state park there is really nice. Denham Springs has an antique district. Probably not much in the line of building material but you may find some furniture and accessories. While in Baton Rouge area try Drusilla Seafood. Avoid Dons, it's not that good and overpriced.
