The bridges are still the place to be but the size of the trout have been small for lake pontchartrain this week. The midnight mullet has been the hot Matrix Shad this week and the 174 area has been the ticket especially on the incoming tide. Live Shrimp Season starts may 1st so look for…
Make sure to take a peak at hwy 11 and new twin span when trestle gets over fished and crowded. These two bridges are not as consistent as trestle but sure are great back up spots when trestle is busy. Check recent video on dockside live as Jonathan and I killed the trout on hwy…

Catches of multiple 4 to 5 pound trout have been coming through everyday out of DockSide.

Last few trips we have made in late Febuary we have had similar results. The trestle has been very slow but the few we are catching are very nice trout. What has been producing has been the shove line between Chef pass and Irish Bayou. We have been getting about two cast distances off the…
These pics are being posted live from iPhone as we are out here right now wednesday feb. 29. Blistering big trout look for new videos soon on dockside live. Trolling 3/4 oz rattle traps with a matrix shad trailer threaded with a small treble is the ticket.
