As temperatures begin to warm and days become longer something with catching three plus pound trout becomes more common as it continues to heat up to the peak month in my consideration, April. February is a very complex month for fish both trout and reds as far as big numbers go but catching a real…
Detailswww.boat-n-fishing.com For all you competitive fisherman, the Salt Water Series Redfish tournament is now pairing up with the Slidell Boat and Fishing Show. It will take place March the 2nd and should be a wonderful time. Make sure to start looking for those heavy slot reds in shot of catching them on the first Saturday…
DetailsOur DockSide “Tp pf the Week” is an easy one this week. Do yourself a favor and get a Standard Mapping E-card for your GPS unit. We recently installed one for our area (#46) which includes the Chef area, Lake Pontchatrain, Lake Borgne and the Rigolets. It gives the strongest detail we have ever seen…
DetailsAfter a tuff October, a decent November and a warm December, January and cold temps are anxious to great us every morning we walk out the door. Look for low water for next several weeks so make sure to use extra caution while launching your boat because it is a lot easier to…

DetailsUsually when we start getting some days starting out below freezing temps and ice begins to form on the ground early in the mornings we usually focus our efforts on redfish and avoid the trout until air temps warm and barometric pressures drop. But so far this year, few fronts we are having aren’t blowing…
DetailsAfter a dismal November for the bridges but excellent for some other areas the tide has seemed to change for the eastern Lake Pontchartrain bridges. Decent catches of 10-35 trout have been coming into DockSide of late from the eastern shoreline of the lake all the way to the trestles. Live shrimp is still available…
DetailsAfter one of the most disappointing Novembers I can remember in quite a long time for the bridges in eastern Lake Pontchatrain we finally struck gold again. For the 3rd year in a row we have found the trout piled up in the ICW and MRGO near the “Great Wall”. Now that the Sea Brook…
DetailsMy 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…
