Trestle Trout Getting a Little Smaller but Plenty of Them.

Tip of the WeekBy Chas ChampagneApril 30, 2012

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…

Move to Other Bridges When Trestle Gets Crowded.

Tip of the WeekBy Chas ChampagneApril 26, 2012

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…

WaterSpouts with Warming Temps

Tip of the WeekBy Chas ChampagneApril 20, 2012

Make Sure to keep ur eyes peeled when fishing the Lake with low stormy clouds this time of year as water spouts like this one can pop out of no-where.

Big Female Trout Peaked out on Tracks This Week for April’s Full Moon

Tip of the WeekBy Chas ChampagneApril 3, 2012

Catches of multiple 4 to 5 pound  trout have been coming through everyday out of DockSide.  Big numbers and catching limits have been a rarity but the size and quality of the well known “Lake Pontchartrain Pigs” are right on time.   We have been using the “Midnight Mullet” Matrix Shad a lot and producing plenty of…

Grind out Tracks for numbers focus on Shorelines and Hwy 11 for Big Trout

Tip of the WeekBy Chas ChampagneMarch 30, 2012

Hotter and hotter the lake gets day by day as march started off a little slow but picking up to full steam as of right now.   March 27 was the first day we saw a two man limit of 50 trout come through DockSide this March.  Trout have been smaller on north end and…

Big Trout Showing Face in Eastern Lake Pontchartrain

Tip of the WeekBy Chas ChampagneMarch 16, 2012

Warmer and warmer everyday is making the trout reds and flounder fishing in Lake Pontchartrain really heat up.  We have been fishing the trestle for our better numbers on catching trout but our bigger fish have been coming from the far eastern shoreline of the lake as we have been seeing a few 4-5 pounders…

Fish the Tracks in high SouthEast winds.

Tip of the WeekBy Chas ChampagneMarch 7, 2012

We fished the tracks on wed. In 15-25 mph winds. What the bridges act as is a barrier on a SE wind. U can always hug the trestle on the west side and use it to block the waves on ur way to the southshore. Once u get to the south end the land protects…

Tip of the WeekBy Chas ChampagneMarch 1, 2012

Focus on Shorelines in Early Spring Before Fish Settle in at Bridges

Tip of the WeekBy Chas ChampagneFebruary 29, 2012

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…
