Where they biting in St. Tammany?

[preachandshoot]

I'm headed fishing tomorrow out of Slidell. Planning on launching on the East Pearl anyone have any advice on where to fish?

 

[Mr_Willson]

I would like to know too, where the catfish at?

 

[jimmyzshack]

you don't want any catfish from where he is launching at

 

[preachandshoot]

this is for sure. I'm looking at bass, redfish, flounder whatever. I generally do decent around mud lake. But we are thinking of running up river for more fresh water and try and tear up the bass. Never run that way before so kind of foreign to it.

if you do find them let me know! I love to bass fish but the only real places I know to go and do good at is Bayou Savage and Bayou Signet. What sucks is that I stay in the madisonville area and I dont know anywhere close to be able to go on short notice or when I dont have anything to do.

They have been biting good under the new twin span. We have been catching specs, sheephead, drum and some redfish.

Really? I didnt think they would be holding to structure that is so new. How were yall fishing? i.e. setup

I fished the new and old twinspans, along with the hwy11 and train tressels yesterday and didnt get a bite all day! I was using a few types of artifitial bait, some stink bait, and trout worms. I fished the top, bottom, and all in between. Got nothing

 

[PAPACHUCK]

And I was hungry for some fresh fish!

We were using shrimp weighted down so they would sink a ways. When we caught them that day the fish would usually take it on the way down.
Most were caught under the old twinspan......sorry for the confusion. We did catch some under the new part also but not the bulk of them.

As far as the set up goes....there may be a name for that type of set up but im not really a fisherman. I go now and then with my father and use his poles and stuff so im not sure if the way he set it up has an actual name. lol.

Hey guys, we fished under the lights in the Rigolets pass Sat. and Sun. night, brought home about 100 specks and probably threw back another 200 over the two nights. Great fishing didn't even have to step on a boat. Older son hooked a 4 pounder 15' off the dock. All caught on plastic bait.

Nice. Private dock?

Yeah but we had many boats pulling up and dropping anchor. They were catching too. Plenty of room for all!

 

[kcinnick]

Two things I don't have: private dock or a boat...

Thats really cool of you, i couldnt tell you how many times we had people shut their lights off, curse at us, and even try to cast inside of the boat if we tried to fish their lights. We are always respectful, gave plenty of room if they were fishing, and very quiet. Seems like there are alof of a**holes around there.

what about a good catfish spot?
