May can be the absolute best time to target trout. April was solid and a great month also but in April winds tend to get lighter making fishing easier. Trout are in full spawn mode making them eager to eat. Bouncing soft plastic across any of the bridges is a great strategy or even bouncing Matrix Shad on the well heads in Lake Borgne. Make sure to check out all the artificial reefs in the Pontchartrain basin also. If you get an early start try throwing some topwaters in the month of May. Focus on leeward shorelines with the Matrix Mullet. You really want to see some finger mullet jumping around or rafting. May is probably the best month to use those sick days you have been saving up on so get out there and fill up your freezers.
