About this water
Pass Manchac connects Lake Maurepas and Lake Pontchartrain and is a renowned fishing corridor in southeast Louisiana for largemouth bass, crappie, and catfish in a classic Louisiana swamp setting. The Manchac WMA provides extensive public access to this productive waterway and surrounding marshes. Fishing the cypress-lined banks with live shiners or soft plastics produces excellent bass action throughout the year.
