Spring Fishing Lake Pontchartrain Trestle

Spring at the Trestles

Did a quick morning weekday trip out to the trestles. The buzz was that the fish were jumping in the boat and people were getting easy limits. We go out early to the bridge and the guys trolling were  were catching fish but most of the boats that were jigging were struggling to put fish in the boat. We had a light tide and the specks were spread out across a wide area around the bridge. We ended up with a few fish but nothing like what the reports said. The full moon in April is supposed to yield a good trout bite but this year it has been a little off. I am hoping that within the next couple weeks the bite will get a little better and the big fish will show up somewhere around the bridges or lake Pontchartrain.

Boat fishing Bayou B

I had heard some reports of trout being caught in the Bayou Bienvenue area so we wet to see for ourselves. We started out at the Great wall but all we could get was a bass We didn't stay in this area very long but it seemed dead. So we headed out towards lake Borgne fishing along the rocks that line the banks and picked up a couple trout out there. I thought we had found the fish as my first two casts yeilded keeper Speckled trout but those were the only two. The water was dirty in lake Borgne so we headed towards lake Catherine in search of cleaner water. On the way there hitting points in the Icw we ran into a huge school of Pogies. After looking around we found a good spot that had water moving that looked a little better and the Pogies were getting chased by specks. We sat in this spot the rest of the day with prety steady action but we missed lots of fish.  After losing about 10 fish we ended the day with 10 in the box and a nice 30 inch redfish.
