My absolute favorite time of the year is now. Trout are starving and eating up Matrix Shad. Trout in sizes of 2-5lbs have been common all over the area. We have been steadily fishing the Chalmette area from Viloet all the way up the ICW to Boh Bros, and even through the Industrial Canal to…
After patiently wanting all october to see a busted month for the “World Series” trout we finally are seeing a few show face on the bridges. We went out two days this week armed with Lemon Head Matrix Shad and boated 8 solid trout each day. “No big numbers right” yes but every year that…
With the world series now here and gone its time to see a surge of trout, reds and flounder to make there way into Lake Ponchartrain and settle in on the bridges. We have already had several opportunities to find “Schooling Reds” working on shrimp with seagulls diving on them. That is a normal occurrence…

Warmer than normal october temps stuck around throughout with most fronts being mild and weak. The bridge fishing never kicked off yet for trout and flounder this fall. It was on fire for drum…

If you are looking for some cheap, easy and taste great, the Train Trestle in Eastern Lake Pontchatrain is the place to be. Simply pick up some live DockSide shrimp and bounce around the tracks, and make sure to have a big ice chest for all the puppy drum your going to catch along the…
If you read our latest report in the September Marsh and Bayou magazine we were predicting the white shrimp to be pushed up and into all the bayous and canals on the northern end of the lake and that is exactly what has happened. We are seeing bank fisherman coming to fish off the side…
After a weeks of cleaning and repairing a lot of equipment and even replacing some DockSide is already ready to go and back completely for your needs. We even included live storm minnows to go with our everyday Live Shrimp and Live Poagies. Our tanks are full and the first front of the year comes…
Beaten, battered and flooded Lake Pontchartrain is now back to normal and should load up with fish after hurricane Isaac. It was a ruff week for all in SE louisiana during an under estimated hurricane Isaac, but again due to a resilient community we are back ready at DockSide ready to serve those who are…
