Sacalait Report By Capt. Anthony Kyzar Spring is finally here and the sacalait and bass are starting to spawn . The water temps are climbing into the 60’s and that is the magic number. The males are pulling up to the bank to build the nests and the females will be waiting for the…
Well the 2019 weather could not start much worse than it already has. The trout bite is still productive along the Mrgo but its about the only consistent place causing all the fisherman to funnel there also. So here at DockSide TV we have made transition to crappie fishing. This is one of our favorite…
Happy new year to all from Dockside TV we hope 2019’ turn out to be an epic year. The weather so far this year is starting off pretty dismal. The pearl river is already sky high pumping fresh water in the lake which could hurt our spring run. On days it isn’t blowing a…
Well September felt more like August making us crave October cool fronts more than normal.

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times” as Charles Dickens once wrote. Well here off the Pontchartrain basin it has been the worst of times. This April was the worst I just about ever remember. The spillway water finally made its way all the way to Lake Borgne mixing with…
It’s starting to be a common trend to be fishing a fresh Lake Pontchartrain during the spring months. Now that the MRGO is completely closed the Pontchartrain basin is a tough place to target trout during the spawning month’s.
