Mingle Canal Fishing in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana

• Overview

  Mingle Canal is listed under Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana. The surface lies 7 feet up. Surface area runs to about 9 acres — small enough to read in one session. Our Plaquemines Parish list holds plenty of bigger water. Start from Port Sulphur, 13 miles down the road. New Orleans is the closest city, 52 miles away. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Mingle Canal

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. Being tidal, the water moves twice a day, and the fishing moves with it. Tide runs this water, so time the session to the flow. The mouth fishes hardest when the run is at its strongest. Documented catches and surveys in the area cover flathead grey mullet, gizzard shad and threadfin shad. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. Treat Mingle Canal as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 54°F to 82°F. Cold never becomes a factor on this one. Shade and hour of day matter more than month. November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Mingle Canal. Autumn cools the shallows first, so work deeper as it goes on.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. Public data records a pier about half a mile out. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Cognevich Canal, 1.6 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Where Mingle Canal is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
