any of you guys fish ponchatrain??

Lake P
 

I have fished it a few time as have others here .
Ya got questions?

no, just curious who else fishes it seems like most guys on here fish big lake or v bay. anyways i cant wait for some more fronts to come in to kick off the causeway!!

I'm going this Friday for the first time. What should I expect?

Just hang on and we'll go with Pox. :smokin: He's da man.

yall are more than welcome to come with me as far as being the "man" i wouldnt quite say that!! :shaking:

anyways trickster where ya going to be fishing?

Bought it at a CCA banquet and its the only day the wife can get off but would be more than willing to swap trips to Big Lake and go again.

right on man sounds like a plan. ive fished the hwy11 an tresels as well as the causeway but am no pro at it i like it cuz theres way better chances in my mind to catch BIG trout there. Any other place in ptrain other than those 3 bridges im lost!!! but im thinking of going next weekend to try the causeway and see if any plastic hungry specks have showed up. i heard from numerous people they have been catchin em (limits) around manchac pass which is alot further west than the causeway. ive always heard that it takes a few cold fronts to get the big shrimp to start moving east and the big trout will follow hopefully this next coldfront will give it the jump start we need to catch some big ones. anyways give us a repot on how you do

Looks like you'll get one Friday. I just checked the weather and it looks like 20 kts out of the north. You think my trip will be cancelled?

i would think so but just call whoever the guide is and talk with em mabey he has some spots to stay outta the wind all i know is if its blowin more than 10 or 12 i dont go. on the other hand the best trip i ve had there it was really rough. lake p gets nasty quick !! if i were in your shoes id prolly cancel the trip IF the wind and front comes that strong on friday and re schulde the trip for some better weather cuz u dont want your wife gettin bumped around

Duck, contact Capt. Eric Dumas and he will tell you everything you need to know. Just don't tell him you know Waltrip. :smokin:

:rotfl::rotfl:

Too warm
 

The lake is still a bit too warm for the bigger trout to show up on the bridges. Once the temp hits ~75, I'll be there as much as possible.

what is it at now 79- 82?

I got 81 last time out. Can't wait for the weather to cool off!

tell me about it!! id much rather drive the 45min to the bonnebel launch than 2-3 hrs to fourchon or venice

Bonnabel
 

I always go to Bonnabel. Much less people and boat traffic. I refuse to go to that circus on Williams ever again.

never launched at williams i ve heard it was a mess i launch at bonnebel for that side the lake or at the dock in slidell when i fish hwy11 or the train bridges

Yep, The Dock is nice, and with the new bait shop it will be that much better.

a whole lotta wind.... try lake catherine, ht the shorelines and stay outta the wind. fish any cuts , look for bait. its full of bait.
aslo try yhr pearl river. just a few spots to duck outta the wind.
