Actually Pelican offers some great shore fishing. The whole East side is accessable with several parking turnouts. I would fish the North shore however. You can drive pretty much to the lake and wade out in 2-4 ft of water there. The road is usally flooded this time of year and the bass and gills will fan beds on it. As already mentioned, wear waders, swimmer's itch is nasty.
