    Windy AI 08 July 2026
    The Rigolets, the tidal pass connecting Lake Pontchartrain to Lake Borgne in Orleans Parish, Louisiana, is one of the Louisiana coastal zone's most productive inshore fishing locations, where the tidal flows concentrate speckled trout, redfish, flounder, sheepshead, and black drum in the strong currents of this historic Gulf Coast waterway. Spot Features: The Rigolets is the tidal pass in Orleans and St. Tammany parishes, Louisiana, connecting Lake Pontchartrain to Lake Borgne and Mississippi Sound, a historically important and productive fishing location for speckled trout, redfish, flounder, sheepshead, and black drum, accessible from the Rigolets area marinas and bridges. Seasonality: Speckled trout and redfish are the primary inshore targets at The Rigolets in Orleans Parish, Louisiana, year-round, with seatrout best in spring and fall and redfish year-round with a fall peak. Flounder are a fall-run species. Sheepshead and black drum are cool-season species. The Rigolets is a primary tidal pass between Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Borgne.
