Does anyone know where to get live bait around the 2004 bridge on Chocolate Bayou? I'm new to the area.

If you are good with a cast net (which I am not), the bayou is full of bait for the taking.
Other than that, x2 on Bastrop Marina. Make the most of the drive between FM2004 and the marina by rolling your windows down and blast your music as loud as you can tolerate while driving faster than you should until you get to the Bastrop Bayou overpass. Tone it down on the otherside of the bridge. The marina opens at 6:00.
Don't forget to post your report.Last edited by buoy37; October 14, 2010, 06:27 PM.

You also can retrieve and reload quicker. Plus they are less expensive and cast nets do get tore up quite often. Also with a smaller one you can add rope to it and throw it further making the bait easier to catch.

I keep my boat at Lutes Marine on Chocolate. Lute's doesn't carry live bait but Horseshoe Bend Marina right around the corner down the bayou headed to 2004 bridge does and has invested money into full live bait stand. Last summer he had good amounts of live shrimp, piggy perch and of course dead bait. After summer was over he never had any but has plans to ensure proper supplies once spring comes around. Here is the bait stand owners number to check before going out 713-906-2622. If he is out then Bastrop Marina seems to always have it and its 15 minutes one way from either Lutes or 2004 bridge. There used to be a bait stand trailer right under 2004 bridge but lost his permit two years ago. No one was there at all last year..good luck
