This time of year things can get mighty slow and look bleak but don’t give up. As soon as temps trend to warm the bridges will come to life and also the shallows of Lake Catherine. I typically like to start focusing on the south end of the trestle for the first surge of late…
Happy new year to all and lets start this year off talking fishing cold weather. Water temps will stay in the 50’s and 60’s over the next few weeks and here is some areas you should target. The number one area every one will be targeting is the Great Wall of Chalmette. This is a…
This past November has been nothing short of fantastic and December should carry the same tune all the way until Santa arrives. Depending on the water temperatures the big trout should continue in the Lake all throughout the entire month of December. Of late the bridges have been hot along with birds diving all the…

Another year with the spillway staying closed and the Pearl River under control is keeping the waters of Pontchartrain clean and the specks are loving it.
