The stations pillions will break up the big waves and you'll still catch quality fish. Also try the weir's on both sides. These areas don't receive a lot of pressure and you'll easily find good redfish action. There are some fairly deep holes in each spillway that are over 50 feet deep. Every year we'll go fish for striped bass and white trout in both the upper and lower spillways after we limit out of redfish.
South Pass is just as good.
Most people anchor off the North jetty on the gulf side because its safest place to anchor and the fishing is just great. Port Eades is close by. In case it rains or they need assistance, help is only a one mile run upriver. There is also a spillway located on the west bank of river 7 miles upriver. There is only a small opening, about 50 feet wide and the water entering it is only about 4 feet deep.
