Fishing?

[dustinb34]

I'm looking for the right bait and spot to fish around the fort pike/ lake ponchatrain area. I've been trying for a while. I can pick up a few flounder and reds but I'm looking for the specs can anyone help?

Are you fishing from a boat or land? I have better luck with deadly dudleys under a cork poping it. We caught a few last week on live shrimp using a drop down setup in that general area.

My son and I went fishing at a place called Waddill Ponds in Central but wanna find a place to go while he is here this summer.

I am fishing from boat.I know that there building some rock jeddies in between the chef bridge and Irish bayou and should be a decent breeding ground but havent tried them yet

 

[CajunTim]

Where are you from, there are much better places to try for trout than out of Ft. Pike

slidell, but I've never any luck at the tressels. Plus I'm fishing out of a 14ft flat so I'm somewhat limited

I see, you can try fishing/launching out of St. Bernard and get back in the marshes etc... not a long run

Yeah, if you're in for a drive you could go down to delacroix... I wouldn't recommend going too far out in a 14ft boat but you can stick around the bayous.

Or the Rigolets is really good fishing and only about 30 minutes from Slidell.

The rigolets is ft pike. +1 on the deadly dudley. Cocahoe minnows too... I've never had much luck with shrimp out there.
Try launching off hwy 11 in slidell near the hwy 11 bridge and fish the marsh.

You could try the unkown pass-hospital wall area, frt of lake borne as well?
